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!

Coach Don Helling, who believes this years team was one of his best ever, was very impressed with their dedication. This years team has worked harder than any team before, and all the hard work has paid off. Coach Helling was refer- ring to R.B's great showing at Metro. Some of these outstanding swims were. Kelly McBroom, senior, winning All-Metro in the IOO Breast Strokes Ray- mond Belleza, junior, winning AA Metro in the IOO Butterfly, the girls 400 Freestyle Relay winning All- Metro, and finally, the boys 400 Freestyle Relay winning Metro in dramatic fashion.
