Felt in the Virginia High Svchool League Roy Ebron knows that practice makes perfect, therefore he spends much of his time perfecting the dumping technique. As this edition of the Washingtonian goes to press the Fighting Bookers are in the midst of a productive basketball season. Stubborn in defense and hot shots on offense, the Bookers have out-scored most of their opponents and are currently in second place. Strong rebounding and ac- curate shooting from the floor have helped the team to maintain its high standing. Cagers carried an over -all record of 14--4 into the tournament. After a slow start, the Bookers bounced back with 8 straight wins. This year, The Bookers entered the Virginia High School League which placed them in a different district. The team played Norfolk Catholic, Maury, Kellam, Bayside?Lake Taylor, Granby, First Co- lonial, empsville, Norview, and Princess Anne . The combination of the team's great po- tential and hard work could carry them all the way to the top when they play in the district tournament in February. SCOREBOARD Cardozia fwashington, D.
