 Football, Basketball, Baseball, Photo by Travi» Rees« Although in Texas football, an outdoor sport, is king of the spectator sports, faculty, students, community members found 1984-5 basketball a captivating and entertaining way to spend their evenings. Perhaps basketball is a contender for “prince of sports.” Friday night blahs Are about to descend Until you...

PHOTO BY NOEL WAGGONER Coach Drury gives team members Kevin Parma. Kenneth Bounds, and Wes Hoermann an after game lecture on game strategy. After a long, arduous season the 1984-85 junior varsity baseball team still has a hard struggle to overcome. The struggle is to bring Pflugerville back in the 1985-86 season. One good point to the season is that the team didn’t lose all the games. The one game that Pflugerville did win was against Del Valle. That one game made the difference. “When we won that one game we had a little more motivation and we tried a little harder because we knew we had the potential, said Jesse Murillo. Ron Durham commented on the season, “The reason we lost was because of the teams we played. We were outmatched. Most of the teams we played were 4A schools, and that was an important factor to take into consideration.” With all of the facts presented it looks like the team may have a lot more fight in them. With a one and ten record the team endured a humiliating season. The season went real bad for the team and was a major disappointment,” said Ken- neth Bounds. Kenneth Bounds commented later, Next year we are going to do better, so we can make up for this year's season.” 70 JV BASEBALL Coach Drury keeps a stern eye on the team and also their opponent's strategy.
