Team Effort Leads +o Good Season The J.V. Boys Basketball team had a good season ending with a 12-15 record. Coach Richard Perkins was pleased with his team's season. He felt that the boys gave good team effort and hustled every game. The team did their stature, but made up for it in their shooting and team work. The games the J .V. team lost were by few points, and they played hard until the final second. It is sure that a strong Varsity will come from this team, so Nimitz can look for a winning team from these boys. 4 N. al Rodney Stewart sails to the goal in a game against Aldine. bb Coach Perkins gives his team a pep talk to prepare them for the second half. cj Rodlen Stevenson goes up for two against the Aldine Mustangs. dj 1981 J.V.
