' PERFEC TI ON S Good defense is played by opponent but Ar THOMPSONISI AND HACKETT PROVE TO BE VALUABLE cms amy at the lumpsho' ls better Archie Thompson, Perry Thompson, and Raymond Hackett were key players for the 86-87 Pirate Hoopsters. These three players played well over the season and helped lead their team to 4th place and the final spot in the playoffs. Archie played solid at his forward position as did Perry, and Raymond at Guard. Ar- chie played great, both inside and out. He was strong in the middle get- ting offensive and defensive re- bounds, and especially with his graceful jumpshot. Perry was mostly effective from the outside with his smooth jumper. Perry was very ag- gressive and this showed in the amount of fouls Perry received in a game. They usually started off with at least two in the 1st quarter, and then he took a rest. Raymond was the play maker. He usually would set up the offense or penetrate to create easy layouts for his teammates. Ray- monds best, and exciting job was putting pressure on the defense. He would for no reason leave the man that had the ball. He would instead chase the man and try to knock the ball away from him. He did this of- ten. These three players were also the leaders in dunks, as well as their other skills. - Javier Ayala TOUGH IN THE PAINT Archie Thompson earns two tough points from inside. l . . .
