MARCH TO THE STATES BOYS’ BASKETBALL The 1985-86 Boy’s Basketball season, has been considered our best,not only in the win-loss column but also emo- tionally in terms of school spirit and unity. The varsity team has compiled a eleven and six record going into state tournaments. The coaches and players both attribute this to an un- usually competitive schedule. Injuries and ineligibility to key players did not help the situation any. Major losses to teams such as Science High and Vero- na, deeply effected the morale of the team. An important win for the Mighty Phoenix was the home game against Irvington Tech, clinching the game by three points in the last forty seconds. This win signified the turning point of trading losses, and the players went on to win six straight games led by team leaders Lance Calhoun, Phillip McBurrows, and Lateef Sarnor.

CROSS COUNTRY The Cross-Country team of University High, led by coaches, James Brown and James Kushmerick, has had its ups and downs, while managing to come away with impressive trophies and medals. Handicapped by lack of experience and facilities, the runners determination and long hours of running have more than made up for it. In Cross-Country, Robert Barr, who placed 8th in the city and 5th in the state sectionals, achieved above his duty to anchor University to a 3rd place finish in the city and 4th in the state sectionals. Along with Robert on the varsity squad were David Jean, Belton Brevard, Jeff Barr, Maurice Gordon, Keith Wilkes, and Chris Hurd. These runners put forth solid performances on what is commonly known as the lonliest sport. The Junior Varsity team which consists of Elliot James, Rasul Sharif, Ralston Morris and Oding Dill did well in their first year of running. In Varsity there was one female, Senior Patrice Bumbrey who in her first year enjoyed herself and showed that females can do more. Coaches Brown and Kushmerick say they are looking forward to winning season next year. 126 VARSITY RUNNERS TOP: STANDING (L-R) Belton Brevard, David Jean, Robert Barr, Coa- ch James Brown.
