This Page Sponsored By: WILLIE ' S FAN CLUB We Support South CONGRATULATIONS CLASS OF ' 81 WILDCAT GIANT KILLERS They didn ' t look much like a basketball team when they came out on the floor. All of the players were too short to really play round ball and one player was almost too skinny and another wore space-age goggles. However, when the first center throw was made and the clock began to tick, the five Wildcats on the floor played like a team of giants. Speed was their game and many opposing teams never saw the quick moves that set up the winning baskets for the Cats. The skinny kid was known as the ' Ice Man ' and he could do it all. With his left handed shots, Trev led the 1980-81 Wildcats and nightly earned his title of Captain. The kid with the space-age goggles was the play maker and nobody could move the ball with the grace and ease of Scott Thomas. With the shooting of Pepper Bego and the defense of Corky Daniels there was little that the Cats couldn ' t do. Any rough edges were rounded off by Steve Morgan, Keith Morgan, Brian Long, and LeRoy Hill and there were few nights that the Wildcats didn ' t thrill the fans and score the points. It was a good year filled with last minute wins and a special 20 point victory over rival North. 1. Trev Waker. 2. Carlton Daniels. 3. Keith Morgan. 4. Scott Thomas. 5. Anthony Rhodes 6.
