Its purpose started on November 17 with a game against Fort Worth Christian. The team prepared for the game by working out for two hours in the morning and afternoon. This strategy obviously paid off, for when the team finished the season on February ll, they were 17-ll for the year and placed third in district. There were numerous memorable games - Fort Worth Christian, Diamond Hill, Hirschi, Poly and Boswell - and there were the nor-so-memorable games when we played Azle and Haltom at home, Cleburne and Fort Worth Chris- tian for the second time. Coach Branigan felt that the team did well and, with the exception of not being in the playoffs, accomplished every goal. - ALEX CHRISTIE Varsity Boys Basketball l I7

o quitters. Poly game thrills girls basketball team Indians Never Quit was the team motto for the girls' Varsity basketball team. To show this spirit, the Varsity basketball team never quit, they con- tinued to unify as a team throughout the season, said Coach Laura Bynum. Although there were some downfalls, there was some improvement as the year went on. There were some exciting games this year. The most exciting game was the last game against Poly, who at the time, were the zone leaders, This victory forced a zone play-off between Poly and Castleberryf' said Coach Bynum. Another exciting game came when the team went to Hirschi. The Varsity basketball team won with a score of 49- 44. It took two overtimes to defeat Hirschi. On the other hand, there was also a most frustrating game this season. The loss to Boswell after we had led the whole ball game was the most frustrating game, said Coach Bynum. The most rewarding thing about the team was the continued progress they XiiL..
