Height Plagues Season The 80-81 Cougar Basketball team suffered through a disheartening 4-24 season primarily due to a tougher district as well as the lack of height according to Coach Herbert Jones. Our boys gave 100721 effort but could not overcome the lack of height in district competition. Gaining the lone place for Nimitz on the All-District team was Will Wheeler. Stanford Neal made honorable mention. He also was voted M.V.P. by his teammates. James Darby was voted most improved. Leading scorers for the Cougars were Albert Myers, Clarence Glenn, and Will Wheeler while Myers and Wheeler led in rebounding. Coach Jones, looking forward to next year, said, There are a couple of freshmen that should help contribute to the team along with the members up from the J .V. team. . if e r - or , W. we if r r 57- kfr, ff.'i z .. ,, A f-f-f iff' f H f , f .

Thinking Like a Whole For the freshman volleyball team, the summer workouts ex- emplified the work that laid ahead of them. During 4th period and after school the girls worked together to make the adjustments needed to play as one unit. Under the coaching of Lavelle Hughes the girls perfected the basic skills of volleyball. They lifted weights, had jumping, rolling, and lifting drills, ran many exhausting laps and were often humiliated by the varsity team. Cindy Holder said, Despite the let downs, the freshmen have matured and hope to offer agood J.V. Humble was the hardest and most intense game. Coach Hughes replied. They gave it their all with each game going into overtime. Everyone was thinking as a whole - like a team should. al Cindy Holder goes high for a spike against the Eisenhower Eagles. bl With teammates looking on, Deanne Robuck rifles the ball toward the opposing team. cl Kneeling, Deannette Watts, Angie Arnette, Sandra Roberts, Cynthia West.
