Frosh Break Record With a 6-14 record, Coach James Hohlt described the boys ' reserve basketball season as an unsuccessful one. Our overall style was much dif- ferent. We used the fast break method, but did not have the shooting ability to use it very effec- tively, stated Coach Hohlt. Other weaknesses, according to Coach Hohlt, were man to man defense and the team ' s passing ability. Coach Hohlt pointed out that zone and half court trap defenses were the team ' s strong points. Steve McCormick ' 85, described the season as disappointing. We had good players, but couldn ' t get it together. He felt team imity was one of their outstanding points, while their shooting ability was their downfall. I Jeff Morris ' 85, stated that the I team had potential although a strong score would have come in handy. 98 BASKETBALL

Reserve Boys Basketball Season Record; G-l Highlights of the season were beating Southport and winning the final game against Martinsville, both by one point. Breaking the school ' s record with 76 points against Howe was the highlight of the boy s ' freshmen basketball team. Our goal was to try to improve with each game played, and it worked, said Coach Gary Raker. Coach Raker pointed out that the team possessed quickness and hus- tle, but lacked size. He felt the team was a competitor in every game, and worked hard together. Two leading players were Pat Cherry in scoring and Jeff VanMeter in assists and steals. These two freshmen players were moved to the reserve team later in the season. Pat Cherry ' 86, felt the team was somewhat unpredictable, but it was confidence builder for the future. Jeff VanMeter stated, We were all good at handling the ball and we played good strong defense. We had a poor shooting average which was a direct result of poor shot selection, said Brad Bell ' 86. However, near the end of the season, the players were less hesitant about their shooting.
