Row 2: Coach Jerry Nevels, Ronnie Blackledge, Vic Johnston, Mike Elting, Jeff King, Noel Hughes. B-Team, Junior High players display fighting spirit B-Team players listen to directions from Coach Nevels—Mike Elting, Ronnie Blackledge, Jeff King. 178 Despite a disheartening 3-12 season record, the B-Team players exhibited promise as future varsity stars. The record may not show it, but they gave an excellent account of themselves as they kept up team morale and a fighting spirit against all odds. The Junior High basketball team consisted of two squads. In a seventeen game schedule the Ninth Grade Team won six and lost eleven; the Seventh and Eighth Grades Team won twelve and lost five. Junior High players got a lot of enjoy- ment out of participating in this sport. They show- ed spirit and determination and demonstrated evi- dence of becoming excellent basketball players in coming years. 1964-1965 B-TEAM RECORD McComb Opponent 22 North Pike 29 46 Columbia 48 23 South Pike 24 42 Brookhaven 45 32 Natchez 57 26 North Pike 44 37 Provine 57 22 Natchez 61 51 Forest Hill 61 50 Hattiesburg 56 33 Brookhaven 25 56 Columbia 40 46 South Pike 33 4l Provine 52 38 Hattiesburg 48

Practice for spring sports starts Because the final deadline for the Camellian came before spring sports were fully organized, it was not possible to report activities in track, tennis, and basketball. Work-outs had begun, how- ever, and pictured on these pages are some of the students partici- pating in practice sessions. tennis hopefuls are Charlene Varnell and Sheila Blackwell. Before deciding what events to try out for, Jimmy Fellows, Todd Car- lisle, and Jimmy Jackson test to see how much the shot and discus weigh. Pitcher Jimmy Stephens and Coach Tryce Barber have a conference.
