fleet raiders compile impressive record ; march toward championship circles Defending their District and Eastern Regional championship, the Variety basketball team compiled a 13-1 record by the semes- ter break. Their only loss was to Kecoughtan where they were defeated 71-69. Five one-and-one free throw attempts were miss- ed during the last quarter. Making only 7-22 free throws, Coach Billy Tay- lor gave this as the major cause for the defeat. Pre- season polls rated the bas- ketball team second in the district. Kecoughtan was rated first. In the first game with the Kecoughtan War- riors, Warwick triumphed by twelve points. War- wick’s basketball games were marked by rapid scor- ing and strong rebounding. Faces masked with suspense, Katherine Louis, Tyrome Best, Coach Taylor, and Coach Custis watch as the team battles on the court. Warwicks plans for state suffered a temporary setback in their thirteenth game when Ke- coughtan defeated them by two points.
