 Let's Go AH The Way The Varsity Boys Basketball Team had a very successful year. The team had a lot of height ranging from 5'8 to 6'4 . This helped out as well as having nine experienced Seniors. The year could not have run any smoother. The Hawks played very well, had breath-taking games, and went undefeated un- til January 24th when they lost their first game to Lord Berkeley. Some of their toughest games were battled out to the final sec- onds. Eric McGill, a sophomore, could often be depended upon to dunk that winning shot or Bri- an Strickland, a junior, would aim one of his famous outside shots toward the basket. What- ever the case, the Hawks usually came out on top. Throughout the season the Hawks practiced long and hard hours, traveled to faraway towns on cold buses, and managed to overcome some of the toughest teams in the state. A lot is ex- Brian Strickland leaps high to make the shot despite the Confederate. pected of a fine basketball play- er, and a lot came out of these twelve, hardworking individuals. Thanks to coaches Tony Orsini and veteran War Hawk, Chip Upchurch, whose strategies real- ly helped the team's success. It takes everyone pulling together to have such a rewarding season. Congratulations for an outstand- ing year and look out for the State Tournament!
