Hard work and patience is the key to Panthers ' success. Coach Jerry Steele feels the key to success for this year ' s men ' s basketball team is how the inexperience in key positions effects the team. The backcourt was hurt the most by the graduation of starters John Hamilton and Danny Murphy. Mike Miller, a junior, will probably start at point guard. Coach Steele hopes Mike can make the adjustments and mature as a starter. Freshmen Tony Bolden, Willie Walker, and Chris Windlan will fight for the other guard position. The frontline will be headed by the only returning starter and senior Jim Hoffman. Jeff Allen, a sophomore, retu rns after sitting out a season, and will be a key to the frontline. Hugh Gelston, a junior, hurt in pre-season showed before being sidelined at the end of last season that he could be a vital part of the Panthers line-up. Coach Steele hopes that the talent will take over and out shine the inexperience and by the Conference Tournament the team will be hitting its peak, Tony Bolden takes a baseline jumper as Jeff Allen gains position under the boards. i : Name Class Jeff Allen Sophomore Tony Bolden Freshman Hugh Gelston Junior Jim Hoffman Senior Mike Miller Junior Lane Odom Freshman Terry Shackleford Sophomore Roy Smith Junior Ron Telleysh Junior Willie Walker Freshman Chris Windlan Freshman Andy Young Junior Panther ' s Basketball 19
