JF After ten years as the Lumberjack head basket- ball coach, Harry Miller announced his retire- ment. Miller had spent 37 years coaching college basketball, compiling a career record of 534 wins with a 60 percent winning average. It has been a great and enjoyable experi- ence working with the students, players and ad- ministration, Miller said. Miller said he really does not have a favorite game although he has won some ' awful big games in his career. In 1987, Miller lead the Lumberjacks to a confer- ence championship and into the NIT tournament. The Jacks lost in the sec- ond round of the tourna- ment to Arkansas State. For now, Miller plans to do consulting work with coaches from other schools. He has also made a video for coach- es on the triple-post of- fense. Miller will not be working directly with the university anymore; how- ever, he plans to attend as many SFA games as he can. Miller believes SFA basketball has a bright future ahead. We have a tremendous future. The location of the school is desirable and we have an abundance of quality, Miller said. W umberjack basketball coach ' ' Harry Miller retired this year after ten years with SFA. 14 m$®

iq mm What an exciting year 1987-88 was for the Ladyjack basketball team as they captured the Southland Confer- ence title and finished the year in the second round of the NCAA Wom- en ' s basketball tourna- ment. The Ladyjacks com- piled a record of 29-5 for the year and a 15-1 re- cord in Southland Con- ference play. The team defeated the LSU Lady Ti- gers 84-62 in the first round of the NCAA tour- nament. However, they fell to Iowa State, 83-65 in the second round. The excitement of Ladyjack basketball came from the astonish- ing performances of two outstanding players who contributed to the team ' s success. Sulpher Springs senior Annie norris be- came SFA ' s all-time lead- ing scorer by breaking the previous record of 2,023 points and finished her career with 2,062 points. San Augustine se- nior Mozell Brooks was the second leading scor- er for SFA. Brooks was known for her perimeter shooting. This was the finest season we have had since 1979-80 when the Ladyjacks were ranked no. 2 in the nation ' Coach Gary Blair said. The success of the Ladyjacks was part of a three year building pro- gram. ' ' It has been an enjoy- ment being a part of the history of Ladyjack bas- ketball, ' ' Blair said. The enormous backing of Ladyjack fans also helped put SFA in the top ten for attendance at games last season.
