The Rebel junior varsity basketball team got oft to a slow start in district by dropping their first district game to Lamar. After that the games al- ternated for a while. The Rebs then went on a four game winning streak in the middle of the season, defeating Martin, Lamar, Haltom, and Grape- vine. This gave the team an 8-3-0 record and a good standing in district. However, things changed when they dropped the next seven in a row to bring their distict standings to 8-9-0. The team ended the season on a high note with a 77-42 win over the Burleson Elks. The team, led by Toby Taylor, Shawn Shack, Drew Pruitt, and Craig Farmer, who each averaged 10 points a game, tinishedthe season with a 9-9-0 record in district and a 13-15-0 recodr overall. Taylor was also the leading rebounder for the season. The team competed equally with opponemts and gained a split with most distric teams, Coach Pat Pruitt said.

The team started off the season by winning the Haltom tournament, in which Craig Farmer and Drew Pruitt were named all-tournament. Craig and Drew were then promoted to the junior varsity team. The sophomores leading scorer was Rahman Jones and the leading rebounder was Johnathan Miller. We feel both squads will contrib- ute large numbers of quality players to the 'Runnin Rebels' program, Pruitt said.

I felt that each girl improved greatly and they will be able to con- tribute to the var- sity team next year, Coach Lisa Wells. Increase in skills l Lejqi the girls with highly productive season, The girls Junior Varsity Basket- ball Team enjoyed a productive year. With a limited bench, the team was still able to rack up 21 wins against seven losses, and post one of the best records in recent years. Balance was obviously the key for the girls. There were only eight girls, and l felt that all eight did a good job, Coach Lisa Wells said. The record, good as it was, could have been better, Wells said. The low point ofthe season was the final part, she said. We had several losses in a row. After back to back losses to Trin- ity and Sam Houston, the girls re- bounded to post a 55-49 win over JV Girls Basketball.

Then, in the final game of the year, the Rebels displayed their best basketball qualities. The opponent was L.D. Bell. In their previous meeting, the Rebs fell one point short of the Raiders, 48-47. Revenge was sweet. Bell was never in the second ball game, as the girls swept by them, 66-26. That was our best game, Wells said. The girls played a su- per game. lt was a great way to end the season. However, Wells was most im- pressed with the maturity each girl gained over the course of the sea- son. I was very pleased with the sea- son. Anytime you have a 21 and seven record you cannot be un- happy. Craig Lancaster. As usual, Rochelle Wilson i32l was there to score for the team.
