Under the coaching of Hayes, Gipson the Giant baseball team enjoyed the best season ever. For the past several years the Giants had struggled and remained in the cellar in district play. This year, however, ex¬ perience and a positive at¬ titude brought about a winn¬ ing situation. Pictured at left are Michael Mitchell, out¬ fielder, Shauncy Mitchell, short stop, and A.C. Whitaker first baseman. Pictured below are Paul Whitfield, Pitcher, Eric Har¬ ris, second baseman, and Darnell Green outfielder.

He was also a back-up catcher. Joe was third base man when he was not pitching. James Taylor was probably the most outstanding player of the year. He was named to the District All-Star Team. When James did not pitch he was third baseman or catcher. As you can see most of the team were really versatile players and this helped to make sucess. 92

Lady Giants Another Great Year The Lady Giants made gigantic studies throughout the 1987 season. Coached by Willie Stevens and Assisted by Pam Bolten, the team ranked first and second in all polls. Breaking records was the “in” thing with this group of young ladies. Felicia Hall broke the school record by making 42 points in one game and is the all time highest scorer for girls. Alisa Adams ranked high in the rebound category and Shannon McCullugh made outstanding Con¬ tributions in assists. Underclass teammates were always there when needed. The team’s theme song “Lean on Me” was evident in each game. Right: Felicia Hall. 21, goes up for two points. Tunya Roberson 13 and Sabrina Brad¬ ford 20 make the action look easy. c . i cam Front Row: Bngette Campbell, Shelia Smith, Panadra Rogers, Camille Phillips, Katina Lewis, Hele Tonja Roberson, Shannon McCullough, Trade Hawkins, Carsandra Bryant, Sabrina Bradford, Kn Taylor, Linda Edwards, Valarie Ivory, Tina Dennis, Katnna Pipkins, Tracy Kim, Coach Pam Boltor Boyd.
