Nowlwediv Ga But Up The Dogs had a few problems this year. It seemed in every game they were close in, they would hit a cold streak just when the other team got a hot hand. They say expe- rience is the best teacher, and all but one of our Dogs have never played Varsity ball before. They had determination and never gave up in any game. All of their efforts went toward winning, and they had dreams, dreams which will have to wait until next year. They were a team who knew how to lose but fought hard to win. ln the first game of the season our bull- dogs suffered from what could be called first game iitters. Palming, walking and lane violations took their toll in the first half, and fouls hurt the bulldogs through- out the game. Lithonia was strong on rebounding and moved the ball well on offense. Our Bull- dogs fought hard but faced a 15-30 half- time lapse. The Dogs came out ready for the second half but could not get the ball through the hoop. Lithonia was as strong as they were in the first half and kept building on to their lead. Coach Stroud 'I B6 Basketball and his squad showed their determination throughout the game, but inexperience and a good Lithonia defense stifled the chances for a first win. The Dogs fell to defeat 67-37. With the determination shown in this game we have nowhere to go but up. Following a well-played Morrow ga Coach Stroud and the Dogs could not it together in the right fashion in their ond home game against R. E. LEE. Dogs couldn't stop Lee's big man as iumped to the lead and held it.

We had something to be proud of in the Dogs' game against the Eagles. Our Dogs played their best game of the season against North Clayton. And at half time the score was a deadlock at 32 points. In the second half the Dogs fell as much as fourteen behind and then got a hot hand with some outside shots and freethrows and came back 64-66, but they finally fell short and lost to the Eagles 72-67. Our Dogs lacked everything but determi- nation in the game against the Grangers. There was no doubt that both teams were out to win, but the Dogs just could not con- trol the ball, and the Grangers grabbed a first-quarter lead of 24-l0 and held on till half time. 188 Basketball They went into the locker room with a 48- 18 lead. The second half was pretty much the same as the Dogs were out rebounded and became the victims of the Grangers' fast break, falling to defeat 80-47.
