Season of Mixed Emotions Maybe the longest running contest at North High is basketball, Coached by Mr. Levon Simms, the Varsity Basketball team struggled through a tough season. Although the Varsity Knights lacked ex- perience throughout the year, they kept up the fight for a respectable finish. With only five returning Iettermen, Coach Simms tried to mold the 84-85 com- petitors into a winning team. Led by seniors Dion Sanders, Carl Douglas, Jerry Ashley, Craig Ramsey, and Nate Brand, the Knights got back to the basics to help the upcoming sophomore and junior players become the winners we all know and love. Beginning with a rough start, our Knights were defeated by North Miami Beach 86- 65. Cypress Lake and Riverview also defeated the Knights with scores of 66-61 and 109-79. Despite these upsetting defeats the Knights came off with their first victories, lmmokalee 90-70 and Charolotte 88-80. Riverdale proved to be a tough contest as the Raiders pulled off a victory during the last 8 minutes of the game. Naples was another close game 65-64. North wasn't through fighting after losing to Baron Collier by two points, they came back with a great victory against Charolotte 70-58. After the next five games North, despite a slow start, finally took a turn for the better and poured it on for a beautiful finish. Senior Carl Douglas stated the same, We didn't take the first part of the season very seriously. People started putting us down, so we had to change things around. Seniorjerry Ashley agreed, The first half of the season wasn't that good but the second half we finally came around. Beating Naples on their second en- counter 59-47 was just a start. They also brought down Barron Collier 54-51. River- dale was a sweet revenge 57-56. Ft, Myers 88-78, lmmokalee 87,73, and l.ely 69-64 were also defeated by the Knights. The Knights finally did come around and they did improve the record. Donnie Wilkie of the Ft. Myers News-Press saw the talent of our Knights, , . there is enough talent on this team to beat anyone in Southwest Florida. The talent was there, and with a little determination, they finally pulled together to use that talent to pull off a winning season. Charging down the court to score for North High is Senior Carl Douglas. Another perfect layup shot for Senior Nate Brand and another two points for the Red Knights. Varsity Basketball
