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.

team members SERVE IT UP A little yellow ball goes back and forth over a net, and back again. A person, one on each side of the net, holds a rac- quet in his or her hand, driving the bail back and try- ing to make utterly impossible for the opponent to re- turn it. Basically, this is a tennis match. A great tennis tradition has be- gun and several players played a role in upholding the tradition. David Henderson, Tim Tran and Kevin Thomas stood out in boys singles. Charity Leeman was out- standing in the girl ' s singles Bracket. Tennis Coach Ann Boswell said I felt we did very well this year ' The players worked hard and im- proved in many areas. Every practice consisted of warm-ups, drills and matches. Practices helped me a lot They helped me to have discipline and responsibility. Coach Boswell was a great help in keeping spirits up and losses down. She always cheered me on when I was playing terribly ' Natalie Quach said. And made everyone confident about them- selves. (Dennis Fudge) f earn members Kelly Dao, Cori Crokett Allison Gibbons and David Henderson pre- pare to do their drills. Practice was a major key In their success.
