On Their Way Up The team’s goal every year is to make some kind of improvement. This year’s goal was accomplished with each passing game because em- phasis was not placed on winning or losing, but on consistent improvement. At its level of play the team was con- cerned with team improvement rather than individual improvement. The King basketball team was made up of a mixture of sophomores and juniors, which gave a nice mixture of experience and new talent The team's captain, Richard Ralford. was in charge of running the offense and defense, with leading scorers Reggie Wynn, Leroy Miles, and Byron Wells. The bench, which was heavily counted on, was one area of great improve- ment. Although the year was not as productive as far the won and lost record indicated, the group was very pleased with their consistent improve- ment as a team Reggie Wynn avoids the opposing player and lays-up the ball King Vs Opponents TBT PLANT ROBINSON GAITHER WINTERHAVEN JEFFERSON ARMWOOD HILLSBOROUGH j PLANT CITY LAKELAND BRANDON EAST BAY LETO CHAMBERLAIN 8oys' Basketball 59

«e Expectations The girl’s varsity basketball team, led by 4'11 senior Darlene Camp- bell, spent many hours conditioning and training for the next season. Because of the fact that the team had lost most of its major players due to seniors graduating, the team's inex- perience placed a major obstacle in the Lionesses' pathway. However, the mighty Lionesses were not down and out of the picture. Team members planned to perform more successfully in the following season. Coach Wilds had this to say about his team: A lot of people were ridiculing the Lady Lions for their performances. They do not realize that I am working with a lot of first year players. The Lady Lions were made up of a young, inex- perienced team with a lot of talent that needs to be matured. I have high ex- pectations for my team. I'm almost cer- tain we will do better in the next season.” Some of the most outstanding re- turning players will be future juniors Tara Williams and Trina Andrews are excellent examples. There will also be Monique Minor who led the junior high basketball league in scoring. With players like these and a little improve- ment. the Lady Lions cannot help but do better in the following season. With all the support of all the students in the Lions' Den, the basketball team's high expectations are bound to come true. Kimberly Crompton Row 1: Shannon Waters. Jackie Tucker. Tracy Reeves.
