Cl I AM 1 S„ .... All the fans are standing in the bleachers, while others are looking for seats. We all wait for the Dukes to enter... The Pep Band begins to play and here they are! The Gloucester High School Dukes. Everyone goes wild as the team begins to warmup. Now, it ' s time for the game. Vernon Larrimore, center, wins the tip and knocks it to a teammate. They take it down court and wait for Keith Stokes, guard, to set up a scoring play. All our players are well blocked, so Stokes passes it to Jimmy Spencer, forward, who makes one of his incredible jump shots. The other team receives the ball and before they move it down to their goal, Henry Bond, guard, makes another tremendous steal, and passes it to Guy Crittenden, forward, who scores another pair with one of his many layups. The pace is now set for the remainder of the game. But, this isn ' t it. Now, Head Coach Ed Holstrom, sees his chance to send in the bomb squad. Kevin Banks, Jerry Hudgins, Kelvin Larrimore, Kevin Meyers, Russell Robinson, Randy Stokes, and Ricky Williams, now plan their strategy. Without these replacements Gloucester wouldn ' t have been able to make their achievements a team effort. This was Ed Holstrom ' s best season leading his team to the Regular Season York River District Championship. The Dukes won ten straight district games, undoubtedly, receiving nothing less than praise from all. Here, Jerry and Kevin make a threatening duo as they guard a West Point player. Team members: Front row — Guy Crittenden, Keith Stokes, and Henry Bond, Tri-Captains. Tommy Cooper, manager. Back row — Ricky Williams, Kelvin Larrimore, Randy Stokes, Russell Robinson, Kevin Meyers, Vernon (Spike) Larrimore, Jerry Hudgins, James Spencer, and Kevin Banks. 22
