Varsity team strives for excellence Boys varsity basketball was definitely a popular sport at Klein in the 1983-84season. As fans cheered the Kats to victory every week, itwasobviousthatthefive teammates on the court were in excellent playing condition. Coach Lloyd Long never had a reason to be disappointed in his winning team. With ten seniors and one junior on varsity, experience was a key factor in both tournaments and Districtgames.Competing in tournaments at Texas AGM Consolidated and Galena Park high schools, the Kats gained experience as well as confidence. Proud of their defeat against Cy-Creek, the toughest team in the District, the boys continued to practice with more spirit than ever before. Toward the end ofthe season, the team had earned an 8-O District record. Each player strived to maintain this undefeated title. With talented players such as Troy Tutwiler, Anthony Strothers, Chris Hite, and Kenny O'DonneII, the boys varsity basketball team certainly deserved the recognition it acquired in 1984. .. .
