The start of basketball practice was set back one week by the state football playoffs. Coach Smith compensated, however, by subjecting his players to an exhausting conditioning program, and despite their moanings and groanings, the Falcons were ready for their November 28 season opener against Cedar Bluff. As was the case in football, the Varsity Basketball Team was basi- cally a senior-led group, and their years of past experience frequently paid off in close situations. After three previous unsuccessful encounters with White Plains in the regular season, the Fal- cons pulled off the most exciting victory of the year against the Wildcats - a win which gave us our first ever area championship. The A-team members were Sophomore Roger Smith, Junior Mark Jackson, and Seniors Minton Edwards, Sam Johnson, Wes Smith, Tom Moore, Jeff Monroe, Captain David Morgan, and Bryan Jackson. Both Jackson and Moore received All-Area Tourna- ment honors, and Jackson was named to the All- County Team. The Varsity B Team was coached by Randy Coleman, a senior at Jacksonville State Univer- sity. Often described as a bunch of Sumos, the B Team has a very successful season, compiling a 12-7 record.
