JV’s prepare for varsity fame The J V basketball team started off the year with two losses in a row, los- ing to Timmonsville and then to Blen- heim. They somehow bounced back with a win over St. John’s. The team worked long and hard to be success- ful, starting off the conference part of the season with Furman and finishing up with Lamar. Led by point guard Michael Barno and center Eric Coe, the J V team was very impressive and worked well as a team. MICHAEL BARNO sinks a free throw.
