V cagers dominate district opponents Following the example of last year's team, the junior varsity squad, headed by Coach David Nutt, combined an undefeated first half of district play to a six and one record for the second half to come out on top ofthe district competition. With a field goal percentage of 95 and excellent rebounding, the cagers were able to dominate most of their opponents. Sinking 41 of 78 shots attempted, Robert Shaw led the first round with a 53 percent overage as Greg Crawford followed closely with 49 percent of his shots sunk. Second round lead- ers were Crawford again, but this time to tie with Billy Shock as both boys made 61 percent of their shots. Rebounding was also exceptional as Crawford, Hays and Shaw rebounded the ball 63, 62, and 60 times, respectively. Many of the players on the team have two or more competitive years left in high school and according to Coach Nutt, are anxious to repeat their win- ning records next year. A. Sophomore Mike Griffey fires a jump shot during the South Hous- ton game. B. A district championship was brought to Deer Park as the junior varsity squad finished competition with a 13-1 record. Cagers are: Troy Hays, Robert Sherbrook, Mike Griffey, Jerry Hickman, Rob- ert Shaw, Torn Fuller, Greg Crawford, Mike Wagner, Larry Johnson, David Upton, Frank Hickman, Ronny Marshall and Billy Shock. C. Sophomore Robert Sherbrook uses caution while guarding his man in the Clear Lake game. D. Showing a characteristic prevalent to the JV squad, junior Greg Crawford acts quickly trying to slip around his Clear Lake cover. Crawford not only showed agility, but shooting abil- ity as he scored 15 points against the Falcons. E. With barely over two minutes left in the game, junior Billy Shock drives against his Falcon counterpart in hopes that he might increase the three point lead the Deer had over Clear Lake. F. Striving to outreach an opposing Smiley cager, Larry Johnson adds two to the Deer Park lead. G. As the clock runs down in the fourth period, sophomore Mike Griffey leaps above the opposing Trojans, fires his shot and brings his team to a 69-29 victory over South Houston.
