W.A. B Teams: Stephen Harvey, Frank Lane Martin Sheffield and Mark Waren 1 - l B Team Shows Promise W.A.'s B Team did not actually consist of only four boys. For their first game against Ft. Dale Acade- my, Brooks Donald stepped in as one of the starters. The game, however, ended in defeat for the Wildcats as did the second game of the season against Mea- dowview. Even with the help of Ronnie Steadham, Carl McNeese, and Ed Bodiford, they could not pull out a victory and fell 41-38. The Wildcats seemed to hit a winning streak when they won two games in a row. The first was a 27-25 victory over Sparta and the second was a 40-36 win over Morgan in the Mea- dowview Tournament. Their win put them up against Meadowview in the finals for the second time in the season. The Trojans were not to be beat and the Wildcats fell 68-44. Again the B Team came up against Ft. Dale. The outcome however was not as pleasing as it had been the first time and the Wildcats were handed a heartbreaking 24-28 defeat. The final game of the season ended in a 39-21 victory over the Sparta Warriors. 112 l

Front Row-Sarah Henderson, Alesia Anderson, Neile Chesnut, Dana Wetherbee, Mary Clare Furman Second Row-Coach Autrey, Anne Marie Furman, Valerie Link, Gerri Brock, Debbie Nicolucci, Margaret Shorter, Amy Waren, Coach Al Gibbs The Lady Wildcats started the year off beautifully with a 47-46 home court victory over arch-rival West End. Little did anyone know that the Wildcats would make a full circle this year-this one with some bumps and uneven curves. lt was definitely the toughest schedule that the girls had ever faced. Following the opening win, the girls ran off a string of victories including the Greenville Christmas Tourna- ment in which Alesia, Mary Clare and Neile made All Tournament. The 'Cats continued their winning streak after Christmas and then fell into a slump starting January 11th, with a loss to much improved Morgan team. Five days later the Wildcats dropped another one losing to West End, 48-44. The Wildcats won their next five games including a revenge victory over Morgan in the first round of the Wilcox Invitational. But in the Championship the 'Cats lost a heart-breaking contest to Marengo, 34-33. Alesia, Sarah and Neile made All Tournament. With district less than two weeks away, the girls knew that it was really time to pull it together if they wanted another State Title. From this point on, the Lady Wildcats went on a roll that would carry them to the state finals. In winning district for the sixth consecutive time, Alesia, Sarah and Neile made All Tournament and the team was set for state. The first round of state had the 'Cats vs. Marengo held on the Wildcats' home court. A determined group of girls who refused to fall again to Marengo, handed the Longhorns a 39-35 loss and advanced to the quarter-finals to face Cahawba Christian. After crushing the Chargers 61-38, the Wildcats were faced with a tough Morgan team in the semi-finals. After a close contest, the girls pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 46-37 victory. The Lady Wildcats had finally gotten to the State Championship for a record fifth consecutive year, and finally, the perfect championship match had come to be-Wilcox vs. West End. The game was close as expected! With the balanced scoring attack and superb defense that had carried the Wildcats all year, they went in at halftime tied at 25 with the Crusaders. The third and part of the fourth quarters caught the Wildcats in a slump, due to costly turnovers and missed shots, which eventually put them down by seven pionts in the fourth. Yet, in a wonderful defensive ef- fort Dana and Mary Clare, and a combination of scoring by Neile, Sarah and Alesia for 10 of the 12 fourth quarter points, they were able to pull it off again. So, the 'Cats had now come full circle with another one point victory over West End Christian, 41-40. This victory marked the Wildcats as the second team ever to win two consecutive state titles, and the only girls' team to win three championships in basketball. Alesia and Mary Clare were named to the State All Tournament team and Neile received the State's Most Valuable Player trophy! Mary Clare and Neile were later named to the APSA All Star Squad helping the South record a 51-50 win over the North, which incidentially had two W.E.C. players. It seemed that for once that Wilcox had the jinx over West End with their one point victories. If the girls' ever showed that they were champions, it was in coming back and beating all three teams that had previously beaten them in regular season play-and all in one week of State tournament.
