Co-Champs At the beginning of the season a few devoted basketball fans rolled into the gym. Gradually, the team built a name and a reputation of being undefeated. The crowds begin to grow and each victory brought a new excitement. That excitement resulted in a 32-3 record, a remarkable season for the Varsity Basketball Team. lt is the best since Jersey Village opened. One advantage was the six veteran players whose experience allowed the team to use many different plays. lt was a great year, we had good leadership, good effort, and desire from all our players. Coach Hall said with pride, l'm very proud of our basketball program which I think they can and should be proud of. Many of the players felt the season ended all too quickly. The team's greatest disappointment was unanimously the play-off game with Cy-Creek. The loss by only three points left the team District Co-Champs. l got the feeling that we stopped playing before we got a chance to start. We were so underrated, we had to go out every game and show every team how good we really were, said Randy Walls. And the team did go out and show how good they were. These outstanding players were at one time ranked second in the state of Texas. Four players were honored as all-district. For A team, Randy Walls and R. A. Stephens were selected. Kevin Skarpa and David Whitworth were chosen for B team. An incredible height of 6'8 , helped R.

l , El El egutmtmutmgs The Freshman Volleyball season ended with only four district wins, perhaps this is due to the big step from junior high to high school ball. The coaches agree the Freshman year is a time for sharpening skills, learning new techniques, and gaining that special team unity it takes to win. According to Coach Cindy Smith, We expected to do better than we did as far as our winfloss record, but we did achieve the skill level we wanted. The Freshman developed from the 'bump-ball' game to power volleyball using offensive and defensive tactics. Each girl had her own opinion as to wish game was the best, however, all agreed that fighting for and giving a game their all was most satisfying. Joycelyn Gaidousek felt, The first round game against Cy-Fair was the best because we played our hardest and really kept up the hard work that we should have kept up all season. The final match against McCullough was at the top of Mary Yee's list. We really put effort and spirit into what we were doing. l knew the team had the ability to control and win the game, she said. Although the wins were few, Coach Smith felt the girls had good skills, good attitudes, and were great kids to coach! 4Diane Reaves battles out a dink with her opponent.
