V. Powerful Baby Birds Blitz Opponents The transition from junior high to senior high didn't seem to affect the confidence or ability of the layvee players. From the opening jump ball to the final buzzer, the Baby Birds literally stomped each adversary who ventured into the Cock Pit. Their only defeat during regular season play came on the road at the hands of the West Florence Knights. The strong defense displayed by the 'Cocks allowed their opponents an average of only 31 points per game. The shooting of Moses, Hunter, and Davis anchored the balanced offense. Rebounding became a determining factor in the high scoring games with the transfer of Moses from the Varsity squad. He initiated the fast break with many quick outlet passes. x.. aj xv 5- -.L .1 ,, '.-.. ,Uv 4 y 7. J 3 a fr Nf'i7 .1ii ggi? if 'X' F 4 , ' Him 1 T jj 76 Sports
