GREENSVILLE GUARDS try to stop Earl Jarrell’s two-points — no such luck. Brunswick won and took home the district championship. You Don’t Really Want To BATTLE-BATTLE The young Bulldogs led the District as they battled with winning on their minds and came out winners. The JV goals were to battle to the top by the end of the season and to win the championship. Even though the team felt bad about losing their coach, Dale Mims, that just made them more deter¬ mined to be best. They felt that the new coach would still lead them to be “number one”. But it was a struggle with having a new coach because it took time to get into what he wanted. Assistant coach, Martin Astrop, commented, “I felt good about coaching the team, but they didn’t feel good about having a coach only two or three years older than they were.” The district basketball record was 9-1. The Junior Bulldogs were so agressive, that it often resulted in foul trouble with some of the players. Playing bigger guys was a definite lift for these guys. It gave them a great feeling, knowing they had won over bigger players. JV usually practices 1 to 1 1 2 hours a day, but the team says they would have loved to practice more. . ■ m - ■■ v, Ip ' JV BASKETBALL TEAM: Front — Rondale Pearson, Haywood Fields, Alvin Edmonds, Derwin Seward, Corey Wilkins, and Earl Jarrell; Middle — Farryl Harris, Stephan Reed, Keith Chavis, Fred Stith, and Clarence Powell; Back — Assistant Coach Martin Astrop, Reginald Taylor, James Harris, Darryl Harris, Mike Clary, and Coach Ralph Traynum.

Brunswick Dog Trotters IMCY FRESH Brunswick Bulldogs clinch district title in their 8th game. The district record earned an automatic spot in the Regional Tournament. An outstan¬ ding average of 71 points in district games and the opponents were allow¬ ed to average only 44 points. The overall average for the 19 games was the Bulldogs 67 and opponents 49. The only loss was against Triple A “Power House’’ Armstrong Kennedy. That didn’t count for the District record but for the season. A lot of fans wondered what was behind the Bulldogs success. The non¬ starting players worked the starting five tremendously hard at practice. Scrimaging during practice was a lot of help not only to the starting five but to all of the players.
