Ninth Grade Basketball Team Goes 7-2 The Junior High basketball team was not going to be left out as being one of the teams posting a winning sea- son. The ninth graders came out with a 7-2 record after losing their first two games to Leon and rebounding to win the next seven straight. A'Landers Crapps led the 'Skins this season with a 15 point average. He had help from teammate Alvin Hicks with a 12 point average. After the Redskins' first two losses, it seemed as though Coaches Hiers and Jones got the boys rolling on a winning streak. In that streak they downed the Lions twice, the Godby Cougars four times and the FAIVIU High Rattlers once.

The '71-'72 Redskin baseballers had the challenge of doing better than the '70-'71 squad. That squad kept up the winning tradition that has become a trademark of the Red- skins, with a 14-2 record. The 'Skins last year jumped off to a winning start by beating an out- classed Crestview team and then go- ing on to win its next ten regular season games before dropping the last game of the season to Jefferson County Monticello. In Sub-District play the Redskins once again met the Tigers of Monti- cello, but with different results. The 'Skins banged out a resounding 15-0 victory, then went on to beat Quincy Shanks in thefinals14-8. ln District playoffs, the 'Skins sneaked past a fine Perry team 1-0. The Redskins finally met their match, though, in the regional play- offs, losing a heartbreaker to Mil- ton's Panthers 4-2. ' .W WWA B - , I Nu My . W . . ,. Q ,,, . , ss. 3 , ,Q . ss we 2- . . .
