The beginning of learning basket- ball rules. skills and fundamentals all begins with the junior high teams. It begins with the patience of the coaches and eagerness and enthusiasm of the team members. This may not have been such a good year for grades 6, '7, 8, 9, winning wise in basketball, but it was still a good year. These young teams under the direction of Coaches Cleaveland tetm. Fields Chm, Pennington t8tm, and Wood t9tm played each game with spirit and enthusiasm despite the fact that they had not yet won many games. Even though winning records were not obtained a lot was learned about sportsmanship and playing the game. Sportsmanship and playing the game are the basis of a good team.
