SCORING THROUGH TEAM EFFORT With help from new Head Coach Leon Smith, the junior varsity basketball team was tremen- dously successful this year. Coach Smith, who teaches sports to children for the City of Tampa, hoped to prepare his players to pla varsity bas- ketball next year. At the beginning of the season the Lions were tied for first place in the county. Coach Smith felt the reason for this success was the emphasis placed on team play and not individ- ual leadership on the court. The team tried to im- prove each game by playing highly competitive basketball. Each of the 18 members of the team contributed to the overall quality of play, with only a few games in which every member did not participate. With experience now behind them, the junior varsity basketball players will help cre- ate a stronger varsity team in the next years.
