Girls JV tries skills al' fullecourl' play. The girls junior varsity basketball team tried their skills at playing full- court basketball this year. Even though the fullcourt game was a whole new learning experience for them. They showed within the first few games that they were quite capable of it and would be quite a team by their varsity year. Everyone had to learn to shoot and to guard whereas before it had only been necessary to be able to do one orthe other. Also, it was important to be in good physical shape and this meant getting up and working out every morning at seven o'clock. The girls had been playing half- court basketball for four or five years and were ready for a change. One that could offer them a more chal- lenging game and exciting game. So, this year they were given just that and are taking advantage ofthe opportunity. They are looking tor- ward to it more and more as next year comes around because the com- petition will only become greater and more exciting. 27 Jeilerson Moore A6 30 LBJ 36 33 Bastrop 31 29 Lanier 46 39 Lanier 43 38 Anderson 55 29 LBJ 48 25 Johnston 38 35 Anderson 40 27 Jefferson Moore 46 40 Johnston 31 33 Bastrop 31 331 Travis 39 29 LBJ 48 28 McCallum 52 35 Anderson 40 A7 Reagan 23 36 Travis At 42 Austin 43 42 Johnston 37 1.
