mmm TINY TONY. You may think Tony Terrell is small noiv: well he ivas pretty small when he was 8 years old. The determination and dreams of this young boy has made a great athlete and discouraged many op ponents. THE SMILE OF PRIDEI Smiling excit edly, Tony Terrell, the city ' s leading scor- er, poses for a picture to glue to his loved ones. He enjoys this publicity and also enjoys all the yells that the fans say at the games for him. This awctrd winning smile and his techniques help him in maintain ing the team ' s winning streak. PRIDE, PLEASURE, PERFORMANCE. The Hornets display their pride before they giue their outstanding performance. They hold their fingers high showing the opponents why they are the number one team in the stale. He had a dream hooting a nerf basketball into a lamp shade might not be your idea of a great game of basketball, but don ' t tell Tony Terrell that. After all that ' s hoiv he learned the game. At least until he got a little ouerexcited and slam dunked the ball and broke the lamp. That ' s when my mom de- cided to buy me a real basketball goal, Terrell said. Terrell always had the etmbition of being great someday. Euen when he was young he showed qualities of being a great player. Although he might haue torn up a little fur- niture here and there, he was learning the game of basketball. ' ' Everyone always told me I was too short to play basketball, but it didn ' t discourage me! he said. However, the ambition to be a success kept him going and practicing as a young boy dreaming of being great someday. Just as many little boys do. Terrell is older now, but he hasn ' t grown all that much. Welt, ma ybe he has grown a little. He ' s now only about 5 feet 10 inches tall, but he ' s the best in the city, rather, the best in state. Terrell may have become an overnight suc- cess, but he is still going strong. Now that he ' s accomplished one goal he has set even higher goals for himself and has every in- tention of accomplishing them. Who knows, maybe we ' ll hear about Tony five or six years from now playing for the Spurs or the Lakers, or even the Celtics. AUison Rogers 97 . . . Sports
