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.

Different from last year, the Dukes returned to Cumberland with trophies signifying that they had won the State Title and that they were good sportsmen. Though the starting line-up seemed responsible for the win, the whole team had a part in the winning of the third state championship in four years. Throughout the whole year the team played as a team and they cooperated with one another and with Coach Johnson. The Dukes showed that they had what it takes to be winners and they used it to be champs once again! Varsity Basketball 15
