- -CBQWD ELEAQERL No Contest for Cogers Moving up in classifica- tion from 2A to 3A made things difficult for the varsi- ty basketball team, but they still managed second place in district with a 12-2 district record and earned a berth in the playoffs. We were still on our way up when the season end- ed, said Coach Mike Ray. We had plenty of ability and were still getting better at the end of the season. We never really peaked. The fact that Coach Ray was the third head coach in three years somehow didn't affect the team's playing. The coaching and the team's understanding con- cepts helped us to do really well overall, said sopho- more Davin Lee.

Defensively, players were successful with the half-court trap, he added. Outstanding players averaging 10 or more points per game included senior Paul Austin and sophomore Davin Lee, who averaged 15 points per game, and senior Chris Martin, who averaged 12 points a game. Senior Brad Webb and sophomore Mike ladlot also had high averages each game. With a 20-1 season re- cord and a 7-0 district re- cord, the lV boys' basket- ball team took the district championship and never looked back. They also claimed tournament cham- pionships at Sanger, Cop- pell, and Frisco. The lV team completed a very successful season and a great foundation for next year's varsity team, said Coach Dwayne Ger- lich. Tradition played a great part in our victories since last year's 1V went 17-O, said junior Ashley Stroud. People said we couldn't do it again, but we showed them. The high point of the sea- son came with the defeat of Bonham, 50-36. We expected the Bon- ham game to be the tough- est game of the year be- cause they were last year's district champs and we were the new team coming up, said junior Bill Heis- roth. Outcome of the freshman boys' team was less spectac- ular than those of the vars and 1 V.
