Often, this experience lirs +2 comes with losing as well as winning. In the shadow of a losing season, the JV volleyball team gained experience and improved skills in many areas. The JV team this year had a large amount of young talent which came from sophomores Kim McBurney, Karrie Gartner, Elizabeth Smith, and Christy Utley. They are all excep- with a 7-14 record. The season was a rollercoaster ride of wins alternating with losing streaks. The Arlington Tournament was a high point of the season. The girls were more ag- gressive. They were fired up and played well, said Daughtrey. A strong Arlington team, however, over- came the Rebels with two matches to one. My main goal was to improve the girls for varsityg extend them further. Winning is good but improvement is more valuable. We did improve. Striving tional players, stated Coach Lisa Daughtery. Kelly Bates, Michelle Bryant, and Mitzi Hammond, all juniors, banded together with the sophomores to create a strong sense of unity on the JV team. The girl's team support was strong on the court or offg always there to back up one another. The girls never let them- selves get down by keeping their spirits high, said Daughtrey. The girls survived a rough season ,. 'fi 4 .. Y ..- L 1. Reach a little further Showing extension, Kellie Bates Q41 reaches out further to set a volley to the opposing team.

The ex- perience and skills which were gained this year will help in tougher varsity situations in the near future. All out Elizabeth Smith 1113, returns a volley from the gfmpossing setter.

.Q n ften in the lower and h . often unnoticed depths of basketball, many im- portant developments .. occur which in later years will provide the Varsity with a successful season. Skills are aquired, knowledge gained and perhaps most importantly team unity is created. Such was the case with this year's JV basketball team. This yearis junior varsity basket- ball team completed the season with a except for Lamar, at least once. The sophomore team followed the Varsity and Junior Varsity's example, with a winning season. The sophomores and juniors, at times, combined their efforts to practice and learn new skills that they might need to perfect their game. The sophomore's record was an im- pressive 12-4 . Alvin Rodgers was the leading scorer for the season and Kenny Poole was the leading rebounder. Individuals unite in to h district record of 18-13. Richland, winning both games against Haltom, carried on the Rebel tradition of dominance over Haltom. The games were won with Richland racking up high scores of 68 and 48, while Haltom managed only 37 and 32. The longest game played was against Martin where they went into two overtimes. Although the Rebels played a tough game, Mar- tin won by two points. The Rebels defeated every team in the district, Shoot two! Lance Schmaltz f33J adds two points as the Rebels and Raiders wait for the rebound. Lance was a two year member on the JV team. Photo by Harold Reeves Block that pass! In a effort to guard his man, Jason Bronner 1405 moves in to block a L.D. Bell Raider. The Rebels won 80-67 in a high scoring game. Photo by Harold Reeves The team played well as a unit and every player contributed to a good season, said Coach Pat Pruitt. If the Rebels continue to work hard in the off season they will be able to con- tribute a great deal to the varsity team next year, said Pruitt. Take it in After receiving a pass, Trent Pruitt 1421, goes up all the way for two. Players on the sophomore team contributed to many JV victories.
