JV Basketball Suspense To The Buzzer conference, at Dixie. The junior Cavs, down at halftime, pressed the Hornets full-court and capitalized on Dixie turnovers to take the victory. With Hobby Outten and Van Hancock grabbing rebounds and the outside shooting of McCraw, Sagedy, and leading scorer Liner, the Cavs made cliff-hanger games exciting for fans and Coach David Williams.

With juniors Wade Liner, John McCraw, and Van Hancock, all returners, and the addition of Louis Sagedy, the team had some disappointing losses early in the season, but a highlight was a victory over Dixie, one of the better teams in the Q 1, . .e rtr Captain Wade Liner drives in for an easy two points against Calhoun Falls. l62fJV Basketball S its 'Uk my ..,,: V .

MS Boys' Basketball ' ' ,. ft 2 Winning Comes Easy Although having lost all five starters to the JV and Varsity teams, Coach Harry Sprouse was once again surrounded by talented players. The Middle School Basketball Team, made up of seven ninth graders, three eighth graders, and five seventh graders, racked up another winning season for Coach Sprouse who as a third-year coach has lost only one game in the two previous years. Two ex-soccer players hung up their cleats this season to lead the team toward success. Blake Comer led in scoring throughout the season from the forward position, while George Wood dominated the boards from the center position. Wing Mark Sturgis, point guard Tod Hyche, and forward Ellison McCoy completed the starting lineup. Playing with consistency, strength, and confidence, the team posted convincing wins over tough opponents such as Spartanburg Day, Tamassee- Salem, Gaston Day, and Gaffney. Coach Sprouse was pleased with the team's enthusiasm to play and its desire to win. These factors combined with talent and increasing improvement were the keys to the team's success. Coach Sprouse expressed optimism for the Middle School basketball program because of continued interest of seventh and eighth graders in playing basketball and in continuing the winning tradition. fshf F 'Z ,,, ' 9' .W l64fMiddle School Boys' Basketball WW Getting his own rebound, Blake Comer towers over the opposition.
