Traveling down court, boys SHOOT FOR TWO The boys basket- ball teams lit up the scoreboards, starting off with a 62 to 49 win over Piano Shepton for the JV, and for the freshnnen, a 61 to 40 win over South Garland. Soon the victories continued and did so through the length of the season. Erin Washington said his favor- ite part of the season was, the Shepton game, because everyone got to play, and had a chance to prove themselves. Kenny Balvin said, The best part of the season was when we beat Williams so bad after they beat us at their gym by only two points. The cheerleaders ' perfor- mances and an appearance by the JV drill assured large turnouts by Pirate fans. The season ender for the JV was a 57 to 48 blowout of Rockwall, and a freshman win of 51 to 48 over West Mesquite. Brandon Davis put it best when he said, We just have to use this year ' s work and experience to get ready for next year. (Dennis Fudge) Practice plays a key role in Pirate suc- cess. Steve Hudson slides for the ball dur- ing a sixth period warm-up.
