JUMPIN HIGHI Edwina Miller pushes the ball with all her might to get the ball to her teammates to start the game off to a good beginning. AlUaon Rogers S( iA «Ho te A chance of a life- time. that was the phrase that ran through Edwina ' s mind when Coach Langston Wil- liams mentioned to her that she was a prospect for the Varsity team. It was an exciting thought! She was the only sophomore on the team, and on top of that she was on the starting lineup. She played on the Freshman team the year before, and she started out on the JV team earlier in the year. She has improved tre- mendously and has the power and determina- tion needed on the Var- sity team. Ill . . . Sports

ft S u4€tuee R learning enpepience The JW girls basketball season had many ups and downs. They had games which they played great, and games which they didn ' t play uery well. Overall the athletes improved due to expe- rience gained throughout the season. Coach Irene Holbrook ' s main goal this sea- son was to grow closer as a team. More consistency and dedication from the players would have been a big contributing factor. Ms. Holbrook lost some girls to track, some to grades, some to the holidays, and some to injuries. These complications did not help the team ' s season outcome. Everyone could have helped each other and given a little helping hand. I think we needed more leaders or more leadership. It seemed everyone was always bossing one another around. We needed more moral sup- port from the teammates when we were go- ing through the rough times. ' ' sophomore team member Brooke Lee said. A big strong team with good leadership and experience is expected for the following year. Tonuny Moxt€y Todd CielencM REACH FOR THE SKYI With an tntim- idating look on her face.

ci%44t f ia. et a£e Leading the crowd Throughout our high school years there were those times when we were young and impressionable: we chose people to look up to. Many of us were fond of mouie stars, singers, or any type of famous figure. You know those cool older kids with their bad cars and tough clothes. The kids that were seen at every party and all the popular hangouts. They hung around in their cool cliques and dated all the right people. You remember these people, we all do. Probably everyone of us picked out one, two, or may- be several people we thought were totally hot and perfect. Believe it or not, there were those students who looked up to people for things that went a little farther than their clothes and cars. Some of us actually did look past their de- signer clothes and social placement to look at the real person. The Varsity girls basketball team looked up to their three seniors: Donna Craig. Mi- chele Hanson and Kim Lutz. These three seniors became the leaders and the idols throughout the season, holding the girls to- gether and bonding the dedication, This year was one of my best: I guess since it was my last year. I wanted to make it the best and really accomplish something. I feel satisfied. Kim Lutz said. Although the girls had a few setbacks throughout the season with injuries, the seni- ors never let them give up. Keeping up the morale and good atti- tudes was an essential element to keep us working together. This year has been a learn- ing experience and hopefully will benefit the girls for next year, ' ' Michelle Hanson said. The season concluded with a record of 5- 13 leaving the girls mildly successful when it came to ranking. However, the girls did find much success when it came to learning and growing from their experiences. Our year was good and benefitted each personally. I ' m proud to be a Lady Hornet. Donna Craig said. FOUL. Chargers try to take control of the game, as they put Misty Hodge on the tine to shoot a free throw. LAY IT UP.
