We keep working at it, and when you go out in a game and everything clicks and goes great, that ' s when you really appreciate all the times Coach Boley yells. We know that he is trying his hardest to make each of us the best player we can be. Coach Boley ' s favorite quotes: are you sick ; good execution ; move the ball ; don ' t foul (Donna); look inside ; my grand- mother moves faster than that ; stop the ball ; around the circle, girls ; and most importantly, GO WOLVES GO . A few words about halftime from Sherry Brown: First of all, he tells us what we are doing wrong. If we are behind, he tells us that we have gone too far to lose now, especially since we have been working extra hard. Then, he shows us the charts and our mistakes and that makes you really want to go out there and show them what you can do.

On the way to away games, we are supposed to quietly psych our- selves up in preparation for the game. That doesn ' t always happen. On the way home, especially after a victory, we have a little fun. First of all comes the jokes such as Sandpaper . . . , some people, namely Shannon Merriott, always get the wild idea to tell Coach Boiey, and he usually likes them. Also, sometimes we sing the latest songs such as Another One Bites the Dust which suddenly turns into, White Hall Bites the Dust , after a sound beating. Road trips can be a danger with having to take your clothes and Basketball bag. There was the time Alma Jack forgot her shorts at the Cutter Morning Star game.
