This takes a lot of fast movement to be able to steal the ball and make your way down the court. ccKcte a f Thie slep up from Junior high level to high school leuel was a major step for most freshmen. In high school basketball there was a totally differ- ent environment, Lisa Gutierrez said. There are not as many plays. There were longer hours and many more skills that needed to be remembered. They had to com- bine two skills to make one — the one that made them winners. Todd Cfelenctri Todd Clelencki TEAMWORK. The girls show their togetherness by working together as one.

The Hornets were taking the field in the last game of the 1988 baseball season. The game was a close one against the San Marcos Rat- tlers. As the bottom of the 8th inning had rolled around the score was tied 7-7. Sec- ond baseman, Richmond Biggers. strolled up to what was left of the batters box. With two men on base, Richmond drove a winning single into center field, which completed the Hornets record at 8-8. This was a remarkable year for the Hornets, because it was their best record in ten years and in one of the toughest districts in South Texas. This season has really been one to remember. In our district we have really succeeded in making a name for our- selves, Kevin Smith said. The Hornets were very proud of their season and they well deserved it. The hard work from long practices paid off for the boys. Their record of 8-8 left them even in wins and losses which helped boost their spirits. This season brought their status up much higher as compared to last season and provided them with much confidence for next year. This team is going to be hard to follow. I think enough of the boys im- proved to benefit the team for next year, ' ' Coach John Holliman said. stacey WUUams Varsity Baseball EC OPP 7 Holmes 14 2 Jefferson 15 8 Jefferson 7 Central Catholic 10 6 MacArthur 9 4 Jay 8 3 Seguin 4 18 Edison 11 6 Roosevelt 5 3 Lee 6 Madison 10 3 Churchill 2 1 Judson 12 12 San Marcos 1 4 MacArthur 11 9 Seguin 12 5 St. Cerards 4 9 Roosevelt a 8 Lee 7 7 Madison 4 12 Churchill 10 Judson 10 5 San Marcos District 8-8 4 Varsity Baseball by Stacey Williams ... 116

pieoAwett Sti ietdcM Lasi games prove success Freshmen girls basketball team ended the season with a 4-10 record. The success came during the last part of the season according to Coach Paula Power. Gladys Cadena was an outstanding play- er. Her ability to play point guard won her more time on the court than any other play- er. ' ' Coach Power said. The most exciting game was the last game against Judson. the number one team. They lost by 27 points against Judson during the oreuious round but came oery close to beat- ing them this time. There were 7 seconds left and the team was down by four, at this time the girls went down the court and Dawn Bartlett sunk a 3 pointer. Unfortunately time ran out. but the girls felt like they had played a oery fine ball game to the end. The turning point of the season came when we finally got a win under our belt against San Marcos. The girls ' confidence was boosted and they started to win. Coach Power said. The freshman team has a lot of talent and will one day be a great asset to the Varsity team, she added. Some of the freshmen are ready to make their step towards Varsity.
