For The Eighth- Graders Watch Out NBA; Here We Come The 1982-83 eighth-grade bas- ketball teams of Douglass High were tough. They kept their crowds enthused with their excit- ing offenses and their deter- mined defenses. The fans could always sit back and wait for at least one thrilling jump shot the girls or a grusome blocked shot by the boys. The freedom from bodily tor- ture and unceasing labor had given my mind an Increased sen- sibility and imparted it to great- er activity. — Frederick Douglass Coach Macmillan coached the girls this year. Each day, they worked on skills which some- times included running to keep in shape. Many of the girls were ex- perience in basketball playing, al- though their skills needed slight improvement. Coach Pinkston coached the eighth grade boys. The talent on the team ranged from jumpers to dribblers to shooters, all of which contributed greatly to their suc- cessful season. They practiced each day, improving their bas- ketball skills in preparation for the B-team next year. 1. ■R-E-D-Red, H-0-T-Hot . Red Hot!! 2. Out of my way — this one ' s mine. 3.

For Winning m- 1. The Three Soccerteers Archie Mollis; Eric Gibson; and Scott Lucier 2. (Alfred Quaynor) Just one hard kick, and It will make it to the goal. 3. Le ' Roy Lockhart warms up before a game. 4. (Eric Gibson) Aye you guys. Soccer Excitement Kicking, checking your opponent, controlling the ball, and scoring! This is soccer, Douglass Style. Soccer is a game in which the ball is propelled toward the opponent ' s goal by kicking or by striking the ball with the body or head, but nev- er with the hands. Although this a slow moving game, the Douglass soccer team made each game they played an exciting one. They did this by winning eight out of nine games they played, which was an improvement from last season. And although the team did not make the playoffs, they were still consid- ered tops in terms of unity. The glory of success, and the shame and confusion of failure, could not be matters at indiffer- ence to me. Fredericl( Douglass. Also this season, the Douglass High record for scoring the most goals was broken by Richard Tram- mell named Most Valuable Player. He scored a total of thirteen goals during the season. Richard attri- butes the teams ' success to hard work and says the teams ' future looks promising. Student Life Soccer — 211
