Basketball Hard Work And Determination The 1983-84 J.V. “‘A’”’ Bas- ketball team completed its season with a 10-10 record. The record, though, does not reflect the hard work and de- termination exemplified by the squad. With long, hard prac- tices early in the season, the J.V.’s were certainly well con- ditioned and prepared for the season ahead. With early sea- son losses to Lee-Davis, Pe- tersburg and Marshall-Walker, the J.V. Chiefs managed a re- spectable 4-3 record by Janu- ary 3. With David Keogh aver- aging 13 points a game, the team looked towards a suc- cessful winning season, but in- juries and illness took their toll on the Chiefs. Keogh was lost for the season with an ankle injury against Benedictine on January 10, and no game for the remainder of the season was played with a full roster. Following numerous line-up changes and some tough losses to Hopewell, Lee-Davis and Petersburg, the Chiefs were 4-7 and struggling for leadership. Nevertheless, the team regrouped and complet- ed the last nine games 6-3, in- cluding an impressive victory against arch rival Benedictine. The 1983-84 season had many highlights for the Chiefs. On January 6, the J.V.’s broke the school record for points in a game. This was achieved with a 99-45 win over Prince- George. In this victory, all but J.V. ‘‘B’’ Basketball.

Another big victory came at the hands of Benedic- tine. Avenging a loss earlier in the season at Benedictine, the J.V. Chiefs handed the Cadets only their third loss of their season. Ricky Jarvis led the way with 14 points and 8 re- bounds. In perhaps the best game of the year forthe J.V.’s, the Chiefs fell short against Central District power Mar- shall-Walker, who earlier in the season handed the Chiefs an 18 point loss. The final score was 48-46, but the ef- fort and determination of the Chiefs showed the kind of basketball the J.V.’s were ca- pable of playing. In a year that resulted in a 10-10 record, it should be noted that 6 losses were suffered at the hands of the Central District’s final standing first, second, and third place teams — Hope- well, Petersburg, and Mar- shall-Walker. Despite a ‘“seemingly’’ mediocre re- cord, the J.V. ‘“‘A’’ Chiefs had a successful campaign and a growing experience. The 1983-84 J.V. ““A’’ team was composed of 13 sopho- mores and 2 freshmen, Rod- ney Brown and Anthony Thompson. With no player starting every game, the J.V.’s Saw a variety of lineups. Soph- omore Ricky Jarvis emerged as the team leader following the loss of David Keogh. Jar- vis averaged over 8 points and 5 rebounds a game, before be- ing lost to an ankle injury for the final two games. Freshman Rodney Brown was the defen- sive wizard on the squad aver- aging 5 steals per game, and also the point guard account- ing for many points with his passing. Eric Jones had a spo- radic season, but had several outstanding games both offen- sively and defensively. Casey Cronan added needed offen- sive support late in the season averaging 10 points a game in the final 7 games. Brent Aver- atte added leadership and steady play consistent effort in the backcourt. Marc Peck and Philip Hodges were the ‘Mr. Hustles”’ of the team with both starting and supporting efforts. Peck and Hodges were instrumental in the late season win streak. Terrence Glover war ‘‘Mr. Offense”’ off the bench scoring an impres- sive 86 points for the season. Paul Kiritsis added needed strength in the Center position despite missing several games due to illness. Game highs for the season were highlighted by David Keogh’s 22 points against Prince George; Eric Jones’ 14 re- bounds at Prince George; and Rodney Brown’s 8 steals and 7 assists against Dinwiddie.
