Team co-captain Matthew Allen in a close game with Powhatan. The 1974-75 edition of the Cumberland Dukes basketball team faced a rebuilding year and were forced to play without the height advantage that they had enjoyed for the past five years. Despite the height disadvantage that was evident in every game, the Dukes still played H-U-S-T-L-E and determination all season long. The Dukes style of play (press, press, and press) will be remembered by the other teams in the James River District. This style of play will continue next year as the Dukes will be more determined to improve on their 4-13 record. Highlights of the season included the win over AA rival Randolph Henry, with Jerry Wilson scoring 34, 32,30, and 28 points against various opponents. There were also close games with arch rival Prince Edward and Clover Hill. Although the season was not a success in the sense of winning and losing, the coaches were proud of the team and are looking forward to the 1975-76 season, 21 CUMBERLAND OPP 72 Randolph Henry 79 23 Clover Hill 101 85 Goochland 49 65 Fluvanna 71 a7 Prince Edward 81 69 Powhatan 77 ay ‘Buckingham 73 49 Amelia © 56 65 Randolph Henry 59 62 Goochland 56 52 Fluvanna at 46 Powhatan — 58 a1 Prince Edward 62 49 Buckingham 80 81 Amelia, 53 47 Clover Hill 50 52 74 Clover Hill LEAP, TEAM, LEAP-YOU |KNOW YOU GOTTA LEAP
