The squad played without their pri- mary force in past seasons, Chris Sweat, due to his iidraft to the JV squad. The team also had to practice and sometimes play without numerous other players in the later half of the season, including their scoring leaders, Waiz and Rawlings. Coaches Slaughter and Larry Stephenson, who are in their 3rd year at the helm of the squad, have captured the Holi- day Tourney 2 of the last three years, and have yet to have a losing season.
