Lady Bulldogs Are Movin’ On Up The 1980 basketball season for the Lady Bulldogs was the most successful one in the last seven years. Throughout the season Coach Fred¬ die Reekes demonstrated his expertise in coaching as the Lady Bulldogs dis¬ played an aggressive pressing defense coupled with a fast break offense that enabled them to overcome inexperi¬ ence and a lack of height. This team also exhibited a great deal of court dis¬ cipline which should be the foundation for a good team next year as four of this year’s starters will return along with six more reserves. Another factor in the success of this year’s club was the leadership of the seniors. Phyllis Callis, Cathy Stokes, and Joane Adams are the only seniors and did a fine job of helping the inexpe¬ rienced players learn quickly as well as giving help on the floor. The team recorded a 9-5 regular season mark. Alecia Fields first team All District, and Flossie Stokes (All District) were the leading scorers for the Lady Bull¬ dogs. The ball handling chores were handled by Renita Wilson (All District) and she also scored over 9 points per game. Selena Gilliam, Venita Barner, both sophomores, gave the Lady Bull¬ dogs additional help as reserves and should be an even better addition next year. The Lady Bulldogs missed the Regionals by one point in a 59-58 loss to Nottoway in the district tournament. ▲ Cathy Stokes receives “words of wisdom’’ concern¬ ing the caliber of play exhibited during the game against Park View. Although the team was most disap¬ pointed in this outcome it gave a strong indication that next year’s club will be a serious contender for the District Cham¬ pionship. 22 Girls ' Basketball

Bulldogs a Winner in “80” Dedicated to returning the joy and prestige of winning to the football pro¬ gram, the 1980 Bulldogs accomplished just that. Although the final record of 5- 3-2 could have been better with a differ¬ ent bounce of the oblonged pigskin, all of the Bulldogs will admit to lots of fun on Friday nights. Highlights of the sea¬ son include a last second touchdown to the AAA opponent Prince George and the unforgettable homecoming victory. A Todd Gillis to Kelvin Mason to Terry Crayton pass lateral (Flea Flicker) pro¬ duced a 56 yard touchdown and a 27- 20 victory over Smithfield. Arch-rival Park View was another victim of a Todd Gillis to Kelvin Mason scoring toss, this time a 38-yarder midway through the fourth quarter to produce a 6-0 victory. Low points of the season were losses to Southside District opponents Notto¬ way 27-7 and Greensville 26-6, but the final scores were not indicative of the Bulldogs’ effort, as a different bounce of the ball could have meant a victory rather than a defeat. Halfback Kevin Taylor (22) takes a pitch-out from Todd Gillis (11) for an end sweep in 6-0 victory over Park View. ► 24 Football
