STATE FEVER! Last year the boys had it, this year the girls have it. State fever is contagious and spreading quickly. The girls have one of the best lineups to go underg Tonya Gober, Holly Bell, Pam Adams, and Lee Blaylock. There were only a few games that kept them from going all the way. With the jackets ending the season with a 18-5 record, the best in their division, everyone felt state fever. First they had to get by Campbell to win a playoff spot. Cherokee was their way to a division championship. After Cherokee, they needed Osborne to advance to the state playoffs. They needed to down Marietta to go to state. The girls beat Marietta by six points. Quarterfinals, semi-finals, finals, and then state. The Jackets faced LaGrange in the quarterfinals. They came up with a 51-49 win as Tonya Gober sank one at the buzzer. At the semi-finals it was no contest as the jackets downed Townsend 51-50. Next stop, Macon to face North-East Macon. Macon drowned all the hopes as they beat the Jackets 52-45. With four of the five starters graduating at the end of the year, we are going to miss the 1981 Girls Varsity Basketball Team. Jacksonville State has something to look forward to. Tonya Gober and Holly Bell have received scholarships from Jacksonville State. We all wish them the best of luck. 71

This was one ot the beet J.V. squads I have ever coached, says Caldwell. Our record was not as good as I hoped but we worked like a good strong team. I was reel proud ot the boys this year. I
