Practice Makes Perfect During their season the Junior Varsity Wrestling team worked with Coach Philip Buckley on strengthen- ing skills as well as the correct applica- tion of basic wrestling moves. With in- experience being the dominating fac- tor on a far from perfect record, the team had high hopes for the following season. Because of their inexperience. Coach Buckley scheduled the Junior Varsity practice with the Varsity teams in hopes that the younger wrestlers would learn from the more experienced members. With the two hour a day, five day a week practice sessions, the J.V. wrestlers would have the makings of a fine Varsity wrestling team in the seasons yet to come.

Dribbling to Success The King Basketball team ex- pected to do well in the Hillsborough School District, and thus lived up to their expectation The team had many good players such as Jon Williams, Roland Williams, and Reggie Bell. Their performance for this season was flawless, with credit going to the entire team of eleven seniors, two juniors, and one sophomore. The offense was outstanding, averaging seventy-two points a game. The indepth training of Coach Washington during practice paid off in the long run. The entire team shot well for the season, with Roland Williams' outstanding performance. Breaking the previous free-throw record of eleven out of eleven, he achieved a new record of fifteen out of fifteen. The team's defense was explosive as they managed to pull off excellent defensive plays in critical parts in most of the games. Coach SHAKE Washington said he credited the fans for the way the team performed. They would not have achieved all that they accomplished at the end of the season had it not been for the cheers, influence, and back-up of the fans.
