Spirit and Pride! This year's basketball team had Determination, Girls' I.V. basketball team had hope and determination. The feeling between the members on the team gave them a feeling of togetherness. They knew that together they could do well. Their determination showed as they dribbled their way down the courts. The team practiced every afternoon for two hours. Their practices involved drills, running plays and con- ditioning. They worked hard towards achieving a common goal, team unity. The l.V. team included Demetria Anderson, Claudette Farley, Ilesha Frost, Kerry Hines, Renita Mack, Anjanel Marion, Angela Mc- Coy, Keesha Myers, Heather Reed and Tina Rodriguez, Coach Mr. Macenerny commented this year's team was, A team with a lot of potential that works very hard.

Led by all-DVAL selection Charleta Thompson and Kellee Myers, the Lady Pirates struggled through a 4-7 pre-season while trying to get ready for the league season. The pre-season was a time that was used to familiarize the players with each other. Three players from last year's lV team and four new members had to get used to each other before any league play. With our inexperience at the guard position, we will be fighting for the fourth playoff spot this year, stated Coach Flannery. Sophomore Trina Dukes will be playing point guard for us and as she picks up experience we will be more successful. The Lady Pirates are shooting for their third straight DVAL playoff spot. Hopes are high that they can achieve this in their last year in the DVAL. Next season sees the Lady Pirates in a new league. - Colleen Flannery Lady Pirates Lack Experience 1 l
