Teamwork and cordi nation spurred the squad onto numerous victories. Going for a fast jump ball, Melissa Crenshaw quickly get the ball moving in the right direction. A Time To Win The greatest hope of any varsity recognized scholastic activity, is that of having an experienced and hard-working junior-varsity squad. The hope is that they’ll return the follow- ing year and carry on the win- ning tradition. The 1983-84 girls junior-varsity basketball team was this type of squad. Remaining undefeated throughout the preseason games and playing extremely well during the regular season games, the junior-varsity team gained a high status among other region junior varsity squads. The team had a lot of talent and next year they ex- pect to return and do very well, perhaps, even a region or state championship. Another great attribute of the j.v. team was the fact that they spent a lot of time work- ing with the varsity players in hopes of strengthening their chances for a state champion- ship. They spent an enormous amount of time just supporting the team and helping them with any problems that they had to face. Overall, the j.v. team was excited about being involved and having a chance to represent the school. A team effort to do well was the key for a scoring play, Jill Wilkerson takes the ball from Chris Conklin. Jackie Eyre rushes down the court hop- ing for two points. 196 ■ Girls BasketbaH
