Dominating the Gpposition 0 ' -....:..-f g 'Q ll l g. , ,T The girls l987 Junior Varsity Basketball team dominated their opposition this year, and ended the season with a winning record. The key to suc- cess for this team was their hustle and speed. ln addition to their talented veteran players, they received 6 more gifted members from the incom- ing freshman class, which really helped boost the team. Under the instruction of coach Mark Haley, the girls learned how to work with each other which strengthened the team as a whole. Coach Haley was more than just a power role , but he was also a friend. Their shot and dribbling techniques are things they strived to improve, their overall play was impressive. The team displayed a lot of skill, hard work, and improvement throughout the year. Sec- ond year member, Brooks Tarter, exclaimed, All in all we had a good season!

They are the 86-87 Junior Varsity Basketball team, and despite their average record CIO wins and IO lossesj, they held high hopes for the future.

With such dedication and positive attitudes it was easy to see they believed there is no mountain too high to climb . Just try hard , said team mate Steve Neilsen, anything could happen, don't give up ! inhum- Tyronne Pollard shoots one for the Viks, JV Boy's Basketball: CL-RD lst row, Leonard Simpson, Maynard Sopher, Jason Grimm. lra l38 - JV Boys Basketball Townes, Trenton Pollard, Clarence Chapman. 2nd row, Kenny Harris, Greg Gates, Victor Softli, Donovan Jackson
