Size and Strength Young Teams give Outstanding Effort A young Freshman team and an ex- perienced JV team both gave good ef- forts this season. The Freshman had a 10-5 overall season with a district record of 6-5. The JV team had a 4-7 season and a 4-3 district record. We have all worked hard this season and expected to do well . Both teams lived up to potentional this season and had above 500 winning seasons. The old proverb, Strength and height combined make a perfect athlete is true in this case. Many of the players on the Freshman and JV teams are close to or over 6 feet tall. Both teams combined strength, height, and many unique playing styles to achieve outstanding seasons. Those of us who are not quite as tall make up for it with extra hustle ,said Freshman player Ginger Adams. Both Freshman Coach O'Neil and JV Coach Lester believe in the fundamen- tals when teaching basketball. With the size of the Freshman team being so great, 14 players, it made teaching dif- ficult, players said. To make up for it we all practiced hard and paid close at- tention,', said freshman Jennifer Smith. All season both teams practiced hard to prepare for rugged seasons. The prac- tice paid off with good seasons for both. by Bobby Lesefka above: Maria Cantu f23J out-runs her op ponents on a fast break for a quick score Her opponents follow closely intent upon catching her.

Long Hard Road With a record of 2-25, the 1984-85 Varsi- ty Basketball season was not the best Crockett has ever seen, but according to Coach Karl Cooks the lack of experience among the players highly affected the team's playing. The team had definite talent. They played well when they did what they were taught. As a team they hustled well. Senior B.J Rush explained that there were times in a game when the team would be playing top-notch basketball, but he We had the talent we needed but it just didn't jump Senior B.J. Rush said that this wouldn't last the whole game as it should because of the lack of Varsity experience. We only had two returning lettermenf' Although the team lacked experience and returning lettermen, the individual standings were good. Junior Charlie Callihan led the team in total points for the season with 314, Senior Jeff Davis followed with 262, and Stephan Hardeman was close behind with 252. The team was led in freethrows with Keith Malone's 80 percent. The support for the team this year was really low according to Cooks. The team played many out of town games, said Cooks, plus the fact that only one game was played at Crockett Qbecause of the faulty gym floorj the student support was not what it's been before or could have been. This year a S5200 scholarship was in- troduced at the team's banquet and was award to Jeff Davis. Next year Cooks is really looking for- ward to the team since it will have nine returning lettermen. Now that the team has some experience behind them they should really fly. by James Erben 3,-,,,,,,..,. A. 1' til, - ,ff I . A - Row One: Mgr.
