Although the Wildcats varsity basketball record of 16 wins and 12 losses was a let down, their winning percentage could have been much better with a few breaks. Fort Valley fans saw plenty of excitement as the Wildcats were participants in 2 overtime games, with 4 games being settled by a basket or less. However, margins of victory and defeat became wider as the Wildcats seemed determined not to utilize their potential. Highlights of the teams season was victories over Benedict 129-66 and Delta State 71-66. Enroute to the SIAC tournament, the Wildcats manhandled Savannah State 94-76, destroyed Albany 104-81, and defeated Tuskegee 52-42. After splitting games with Atlanta schools, Clark, Moorehouse, and Morris Brown, the Wildcats began honing their offensive defensive skills for the SIAC tournament. Led in scoring by guards, Willie Kelly and Anthony Roach, the Wildcats should challenge for the SIAC’s crown. Defensively the cats are led by shot blocker, Rodney Freeman, with Gary Edwards and Leonard Lawerence handling the board work. Freddie Gibson gave the Cats an added dimension in scoring and passing. Leonard Lawerence scores against Albany. Above Opposite: Anthony Roach fires his deadly jumper. Wildcat fans bid far-well to the likes of Edwards, Freeman, Lawerence, Gibson, and Roach a tandem of dynamic senior talent. Freshman sensation Willie Kelly, along with Shardon Pittman, and Tony Hall should produce more excitement in 1984-85 for the Wildcat fans. Keepin’ An Eye On The Clock 148—Basketball Freshman sensation Willie Kelly splits the seam as he drives for two points against Savannah State.
