Playing in high school competition weighed heavy on the mind of at least one sophomore player. lt's a lot harder in high school because you're always playing against older and bigger people, Sharon Wagner, sophomore J.V. player said. Sam Houston seemed to be the toughest team to beat, according to some members of the team. Players cited Sam Houstonls strength and height as factors to make the team tough. The team members felt that Coach Camp- bell was a big part of their win. She's taught me patience. She led our team to a district championship lat Watauga Jr. Highl and she knows the game. Coach Campbell is responsible for putting us where we are, Sharon added. Sophomore Missy Tischler jumps high while Angie Harville, Dee Dee Gann and Debbie Gruca, sophomores, wait for the ball.

After early district losses left little playoff hopes, the Buffs took on a new role as the Spoilers in stars Even though the Varsity Basketball team won seven more games than last year, when they went to the District Championship game, they failed to reach that goal. Being preseason district favorites with the area coaches and newswriters, they were looking forward to a great season. That was the way it started. Winning six of their first seven games, including the championship of the Birdville Tournament, had them on their way. Hopes died when they won only two games in their first half of district. These two victories included Bowie and archrival Richland. Other non-district victories includ- ed wins over Highland Park, Weatherford and a second place effort in the Belton Tournament. In the Lions Club Tournament, which in- cluded many impressive teams, including na- tionally ranked Dematha, they lost their first game but rallied to win the next three for the Senior Wayne Ross gets the easy layup from a fast-break pass and well executed play from point guard John Wygle. His talents, displayed with a slam dunk, led Senior Jay Crane on to become Honorable Men- tion All-American. 164 Basketball consolation trophy. In the second half of district play, the team had a new role as the spoiler. Head Coach John Dickerson claim- ed, We may not win the district title, but we will decide who does. The team approached the second half with new determination. They won six of their last eight games. One of these games was the second victory over Richland, with a last second shot by Senior Jay Crane. Jay said, I've always dreamed of winning a game on a last second shot. I'm just glad my dream came true against Richland. The team was satisfied with their record of 21-11. All-district honors went to Jay Crane and Bill Wirskye, first teamg and John Wygle, honorable mention. Crane also went on to receive second-team All-Tarrant Coun- ty, third team All-State and honorable men- tion All-American.
