Rebounding Ahead The J V Girls Basketball team improved a great deal this year. The team of 12 girls managed to go through a season of 6 games; they ended up 5 and 1., with a total points scored of 196, and an average of 32.6 points a game. The one game lost was against Fluvana, who they later beat at the end of the season. All of their games were played before the season was over since many of the schools did not have a team for the Dukettes to play against. In the first game of the season against Bluestone, the game was totally in Cum- berland’s favor by the end of the first half. At the end of the season, some of the girls moved up to play on the varsity squad. 1. Regina Allen runs for the ball. 2. Chanel Vaughan shoots the ball. 3. Miss Tillerson, coach, smiles after a previous game. 4. The scoreboard of the Bluestone games shows the Dukettes winning with a score of 45-7.5.

Steadily Improving fam a This year, the 1980 Girls Varsity Basketball team had one of its best seasons, ending up third in the district with a 6-9-0 record. With the help of Irma Trent who made all district first team and Diane Trent who made all district second team, the team vastly improved from a 4-10-0 season to 6-9-0 season. ‘We played as a team most of the time and the girls worked hard all year,’’ Coach Bright said proudly. The team started off the season with winning as they de- feated Randolph Henry twice. Then came a turning point in which the Dukettes were the defeated team. The District Tournament was an exciting and an important game as the Dukettes played against Goochland. The defeat in the District game ended the 1980 season. Coach Bright said, ‘‘I’m looking forward to a successful season next year.”’ Varsity — Girls Randolph Henry Randolph Henry Bluestone Bluestone Nottoway Nottoway Fluvanna Prince Edward Goochland Central Amelia Prince Edward Fluvanna Goochland Central 6-9-0 1.
