They all realized that there was no success without sacrifice, stated Jackson. He added that there are different stars each year. Carolyn Har- mon and Sonya Simmons, the only seniors on the team, stepped into this year ' s limelight. Both had been coached by Jackson for the last three years. He emphasized how much they con- tributed to the team. Jackson ' s relatively young team surprised many opponents such as Gibbs and Bradenton Southeast who had underestimated their ability. Many of the girls were shorter than those on their rival teams. They worked harder because of it, stated Jackson. Harmon add- ed, We just had to work harder for rebounds. Jackson said he would look to this year ' s junior varsity to add to the depth of next year ' s varsity squad, just as he had this year. I enjoyed watching them grow into a winning team.
