70 Boys JV Progressing With Style n the midst of the constant squeak of sneakers, the smell of a freshly-waxed gym floor and the riot-like roar of the crowd, the JV, sophomores and freshman teams dribbled their way through a suc- cessful season. The JV team consisting of 10 players coached by Richard Perkins concentrated on preparing for the upcoming varsity year. Our team was unusual in the sense that half the players were sophomores, said Coach Perkins. We expect that the players who move up to varsity next year will be a great contribution. An eager group of sophomores took their freshmen experience and put it to the test. Each player worked to improve his skills in prac- tice as well as in the games. Coach Charles Collins summed up the season by saying, Our main goal was to prepare the players for their next two varsity years. Orienting players with the Klein system and practicing the fun- damentals of basketball were the main goals of the freshman teams. Coach Mark Brooks was already op- timistic about the team's future, The players were willing to learn and improve, Brooks said, if the improvements continue, their sophomore year will be very competitive. f fi it it , rf Z X, r l The 1984-85 Boys Junior Varsity basketball team.

Shooting as one he shot was launched. Hun- dreds of eyes followed the ball as it traveled toward the basket. With the familiar sound of the basketball sliding through the net, the entire gym roared with excite- ment. This intense emotion was present at every girls' basketball game. Twelve varsity girls took control of the court and finished the season with an impressive 20-10 record. 560 ,'.f, 2 t,1'-'- lit With tough opponents such as Cy- Fair and Cy-Creek, the girls had to play the best possible ball they could. Coach Carol Helms com- mented on her club by saying the team has progressed together and improved a great deal this year. Players also traveled to Katy, Clean Creek, and Bellville to grab two consolations. The team fin- ished with a 7-5 district record. ' .r , 'ga'f'gQf33f .V-.:g- Lisa Smith goes up for a shot.
