Varsity and freshmen scrimmage in prepara- tion for their next game Basketball The Junior Varsity boy's basketball team had an outstanding year. A 9-7 district record shows this. This year, JV won two tournaments. Included in the Farmersville tournament was the undefeated Quinlan team. The main reason for such a successful season is due to the new coaching supervision of Andy Jones. He is from Begota, Texas, where he was assistant basketball and football coach and head golf Coach. Another reason for the success is the team leadership by Monty Moore. Moore, a sophomore, was the lead scorer of the season. The most improved player of the season was Ennis Freeman. Free- man showed great potential and the desire to succeed. “Tigers Never Quit” was the true spirit of the JV team. Coach Andy Jones. Jason Turner. Stan Szafran. Michael Anderson, Monty Moore.

Kelly McKay enjoys the pain of playing Varsity Basketball. Varsity Basketball A new game plan was the answer for this year’s Lady Tigers. Coach Colin Curtis took over after an unsuccessful year and coached the team to a complete turnaround. He decided that the simplest was the best. Curtis said, The girls told me the system I used was less complicated than what they were used to ... they knew what they were supposed to do.” It was back to the basics. This year's offense was developed around the Twin Towers,” made up of Senior Posts Melissa Gibson at six-feet, and Cassandra Simmons, at five-feet eleven. Junior Guards Kelly McKay and Kelli Wright provided additional strength to the Lady Tigers. Their great passing led to an average of five assists per game. Next year, the game plan will change. Junior Marcy Underwood will move from forward to post. This should lead the Lady Tigers to another successful year. This year was a sweet success as the Lady Tigers ended the season with an 18-11 record. Thanks to Coach Colin Curtis and his simple game plan,” Commerce finished proudly in third place. WAY TO GO!!!
