Shootin' ta rs Double Champions! For the first time Parkview took both football and basketball AAAAA Championships. In addition, the basketball team won both the Little Rock City Tournament and the University of Central Arkan- sas Tournament for the second str- aight year. Hard work, team play, a winning tradition and leadership played im- measureable parts in the sweep of titles. l spent the biggest part of the summer at PV playing basketball, said Reggie Taylor. Taylor, who sat out a semester after transferring from lCathollc High to PV, said, I was Two!

Such hard work was typical of the basketball players and their coach, Charles Ripley, who could be found in the gym on summer days, weekends and holidays, as well as when one would expect to see them there. Discipline, stressed by Ripley, was fair but firm. One loss of the Patriots' four could be attributed to the absence of super star Keith Peter- son from the line-up. Pete went home to get some gear and missed the bus to El Dorado. It was no big deal, Ripley said, the guys knew before the season that if they missed IZ? lxggslm Patriots dominate AAAAA conference and capture double championship. the bus, they dion't play. A couple of them had been withheld for the same thing in an earlier game. However, the 63-62 loss seemed obviously due to the loss of the team's top shooter, when PV annhilated the Wildcats, 85-61, later in the year. In that match, Pete came back to score his top total, 35 points, which led all scorers. Clearly, discipline and hard work paid off. The Patriots won their first seven games surpassing last year's fast start with five season-opening wins. .asa , New is , fer: 3' Q' - :iris-it 1-FiitwfE'1,. f1il1?i37 Tv '1,'wf4ft 'F 'R 1 :rw i?E'rtfl .

Shootin' stu rs con't. Dumas tripped them up first. But, the champs bounded back and did not falter again until Hall's defense stymied them, 57-51, on the Pats' home court. Although Pete got 27 of the game, the next Patriot scored only 8. The final loss against Northeast's Chargers was the year's low point as the Patriots scored only 38 total points. This dump followed the loss of John Deathrage and, sixth man, Darryl Mason. Profitting from each lesson, the team proceeded to methodically knock off all opposition to take the AAAAA title after soundly defeating Hall in Central's gym. John Deathrage, a transfer student from Germany, stood out on the court as the only starting white player. He was the first white starter since 1972. lf he felt the difference, no one knew it. Playing with such a spirited, cooperative group of guys made the season great. Winning was a bonus, he said. Ripley was quoted in the Arkansas Democrat as saying, These kids are something else. They play together. Team work, not having a super star was what made a winning team, all agreed. Coach Ripley takes us to see college games, we do things together. It makes us friends, Pete said. When Deathrageturned 20, he was retired because of the Arkansas Activities Association rules. He mis- sed the last seven conference games. However, he remained a member of the team, as did Mason who missed the last three games and the tourn- ament after surgery. They traveled out of town and sat with the team. One game, though, the sell-out against Hall, with Hall home team, Deathrage could not get in to join his teammates. Too crowded, Coach C.W. Keoppletold him. The team missed Deathrage and Mason, but quickly adjusted with substitutes who felt a part of the team. The team remained healthy, except for a bout of flu, which worked in its favor. Defense. Patriots Keith Peterson 1523 and Earl Wilson 1423 flght with HaII's Billy Simmons C151 forthe rebound at Central. PV clnches the championship there, 71-58. Basketball
