I 5 Coach Delbert Ballard Head Basketball Coach In coaching basketball, I feel I must be able to analyze each player according to his capabilities and his potential. I must know when to praise a player and when to correct him. I feel that the most important part of a coach's responsibilities to his players is to set an example that will help the boys to be better citizens after playing for him, especially from the standpoint of self- control, teamwork, desire to excel and to create a clean wholesome mind for the better things in life. As coaches and teachers of young men and women, we must teach our players how to be good sports as winners and, also, good sports as losers. I often think that IF while I have been coaching these eighteen years, that IF I have made one boy or girl a better person while playing for me, then all the suc- cesses and failures were well worth the pressures of coaching. g f!

The '75-'76 basketball season went very well. In pre-season play, the team had a lot of good wins and finished well in the tour- naments. They started district play looking very strong, but had one big stumbling block - COM- MERCE. The chance to play for the district crown came down to the last game of the season against Prairiland. If we won, there would be a three way tie between Quit- man, North Lamar, and Prairi- land. Both teams played hard, but it just wasn't written for us. We're all proud of our basketball team, they did a good job this sea- son. After district play had ended. THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS rated them twelfth in the state. A nice finish, but not the one we anticipated .
