Coach says, Cooperation is the key. The Marana Tigers' JV basketball team started off on the right foot with a win over the Eloy Devils. Coach Callicotte commented that the team had an extremely good attitude, and that they worked hard in their games and in their practices. The coach also mentioned that the team members had a great deal of respect for each other and enjoyed working together. It was the opinion of the coach that the key is co-operation when a team's effort is toward working and striving to accomplish a goal. Coach Callicotte hoped that the boys got more out of the year than just playing in a winning season. They learned to have a team effort. The freshman had a tough season this year entering AA competition. The team consisted of small players which was to their disadvantage. They tried, and they all got a considerable amount of playing time. The freshman team members had opportunities to learn basic skills of the game as well as learning to participate on the high school level of competition. i'AlrbN4i 1 . .- Q 3.7 r ' '-myfypa-gin . . 1 4ff?75f'm, f --N-M , ,... , 5 .
