Dribbling to Success The 85-86 basketball season was a very joyous one for coach Rich O'Donnell. His team won its long awaited SMAC Title and it wasn’t easy, but they did it. Their overall record was 16-6, and of their four regular season losses, three were lost by a narrow margin of two points or less. This league was no push over either, they fought hard and long, the title of Champions wasn’t gained until the last week of the regular season. One of the main reasons for their success was the exciting, reckless play of Senior Terrence Allen. His crowd pleasing slam dunks kept the fans at the game and even made the fan turn out larger. They lost in the first round of the state tournament, but that was no let down compared to the feeling of being on top of their division. This Championship team had 3 All-SMAC nominations in Billy Holt. Terrance Allen, and junior Ricky Long. Of the three Allen and Long were chosen first team, and All-County. Hey You! Mr O’Donnell gets his point across to the referees at a home game. Go for it all! Maurice Frederick goes for two at a game against Lackey. Competition SMAC Champions Boys Basketball
