Coach Mike Connelly's 1983 Creenwave Basketball Team sweated through many hours of strenuous practice. The emphasis of these practices was on building up quick- ness and upping the tempo of play. The result was a high-potency offense which had the capability of obliterating any oppo- nent at any time. When the high-speed of- fense, spearheaded by Vincent 'lSpotlight Walker and Carvin 'CP Petty, got into gear there was no stopping it. Coach Connelly also stressed a pressure, full-court defense. The utilization of full- court presses and tough man-to-man de- fense caused many opponents to crumble under the pressure. The combinations of these elements proved to be quite success- ful and gave Ashbrook a team to be proud of. FE'-E Carvin Petty pulls up on a fast break to arch a shot over a defender.
