'l. Scoring, Improvement Elements to Success This year's Sophomore Basket- ball Team finished the season with a record of 5-5 in district and 10- 11 overall. Balanced scoring and solid improvement from game to game marked the strength of this Sophomore squad. Seven of the eleven losses were by a margin of three points or less and this club defeated every team that it suf- fered a loss to with the exception of Cy-Fair and MacArthur. The highlight of the season for the team came when the Cougars beat Aldine 61-50. At that time Aldine held a better record but the Cougs proved to them who was boss. UAII of these youngsters have a chance to continue their playing time as JV on Varsity players in 85-86, said Coach Bob Ligon. 1.

l.V. Goes Over O0 Loyalty and pride to the Cougar tradition kept the Junior Varsity Basket- ball team learning and working hard throughout the season. With only six players on the team, the boys pulled together to play an above average season. 'lThese are good kids who want to win, said Coach Charlie Martin. During the season, the lunior Varsity Boys played their finest game against Forestbrook on the last second shot. They faced their toughest competition when they went up against MacArthur and Smiley. Coach Martin said there was not an outstanding player because all six young men contributed to the team a great deal. Next year Coach Martin sees better team potential as long as the team continues to work hard and strive for their goal.
