Standards aim SKY HIGH Tossing the ball up in the air and slamming it over the net, the team began to yell the chant only they could understand , Ace, ace, ace in their face, face, face, as yet another serve hit the opposing team ' s side and a point was added on the Pirates side. The best part of the season was when the JV beat North Mesquite ' s JV 15 to 7. Brenda Ellis said. The JV ended their season 16-12, not only playing JV teams, but competing against varsity teams from Highland Park and Royse City. Freshmen ended their sea- son with a 16-10 record. It was great being able to stay and support the JV at their games, said freshman Danielle Brateris. The JV also helped support their underclassmen. I enjoyed cheering on the freshmen because it made them more excited about the game, JV player Patricia Brown said. (Ericka Wells) Preparing to serve the ball against Skyline, freshman Stacy McDonald adds a point for the Pirates. The fresh- man team won 15-14 and 15-10.

Girls sink some HOT SHOTS Is. Whether it was a lay-up, free throw, or just a regular box shot, the la- dies on both freshman and JV teams had them mastered. The swish of the ball falling through the hoop was heard often, and was followed by a cheer from the crowd. The things 1 think makes a bas- ketball team successful is when all the players work hard in both practices and games, and if they stick together no matter what the score is, said sophomore Brandi Ballou. This was the opinion of most players on both teams. The play- ers must have worked hard all season. The JV team not only de- feated many teams, including Dal- las Christian and Ennis, but they also received two second place trophies and one third place tro- phy. Although the freshman team lost some of their players to the JV team, they didn ' t lose their spirit and success. Their biggest win was against Lancaster, 33-13. The girls also defeated North Forest, Richardson, and others, proving their skills. In basketball, it ' s hard to achieve success, but both of these teams did, and they did it with piz- zazz. (Carrie Robinson) With 46 seconds left, PHS is down by two. Christi Crumpton. Stacie Russell, Kelli Riggle, Patricia Brown, and Danielle Brateris raised the spirits of the team with a pep talk. r ■
