The Hottest Shots In Town 1978 VARSITY BASKET- BALL: Joe Fraley, Gerald Booker, William Hamlett, Tony Smith, Stanley Megginson, Carl Watson, Byron Roach, Steve Cobb, Joey Cripper—Mar., Warren Austin, Arthur Haskins, Shane Abernathy, Tony Hancock, Larry Kelso, Mike Campbell, Coty Dickerson, Ray Archer, and J.C. Davidson—Mar. The Varsity basketball team began the season pleasing the fans by defeating Buckingham, Gretna, William Campbell, and Nelson without a loss. Although con- sidered inexperienced with no surviving players from last year’s starting lineup, they proved their worth. Coach Archer’s young team had only one senior, with the rest of the team being made up of juniors, sophomores, and two freshmen. Larry Kelso, a sophomore starter, early established himself as high- scorer for the Raiders and will be a definite savaneiodter two more years. Coach Archer anticipates, with a little work on offense, success in 79 after a profitable ’78 season with good leaders such as the co-captains, Joe Fraley and Gerald Booker. aN eye = Pressured by the Cavalier defense, Joe attempts to throw the ball in.
