,t A Vengetul T Victory l, Proving itself the best in the leach for two straight years, the ,oys' basketball team blew Away Kempsville 53-46 in the listrict Championship game. I Two years in a row, was . cob Clark's reaction to the vic- tory. We've proven in the layoffs that we are the better team. The season started with a leak picture as only one starter l V returned from last year's team that won the Eastern Region ti- tle. But that returner happened to be Joe Darby. Joe is the best guard in the state, said coach Bill Cochrane. Since his return, the team has been 29-7. l-le has been the catalyst of the team. With Joe leading the starting line-up, we lost only five games this year and also won the pres- tigious Norfolk Catholic Tour- nament beating Calvert Hall, 62-53, dispite their national ranking in the USA Today high school poll. In the Beach District tourna- ment we got a measure of re- venge beating Kempsville and Princess Anne. The Cavaliers, who had won a squeaker 49- 48, were nowhere close to us as they lost by twenty points. - Hedssen Serrano ABOVE LEFT: During an intense game, Coach Bill Cochran gives the players some expert advice.
