rr a The Dukette’s basketball season was very disappointing for 1977. The team has gradually been going down. In their scores, even though the Dukettes consist of some of the best players ever produced from Cumberland High. Their teamwork has improved alot in the past year. With their desire to be number one the Dukettes seem to improve their playing skills each year. They keep gaining valuable experience which they will use in the future to rank as one of the best girl’s basketball teams in Virginia. We hope that ev- eryone’s confidence in the Dukettes will continue, for they show some of the best sportsmanship in this district. FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Carolyn Jackson and Estelle Carter.
