Fantastic Finishes The outlook for the basketball season started out as a bleek one. Randall Burris, the Colts starting center, was out because of a knee injury. Although things looked bad for the Varsity Basketball team, they regrouped and won their season opener against Charlotte Latin with a score of 80 to 71. There was much depth on the team this year with Tim Love and Danny Efird coming off the bench to provide leadership and an extra scoring threat for the Varsity squad. There was also much support from the rest of the bench which gained valuable points during clutch asket all situations. The Varsity Basketball team won five out of six games that stretched through most of the month of January. This winning streak included league wins over North Stanly, Charlotte Catholic, South Stanly, Piedmont and Mt. Pleasant. The boys Basketball season was filled with ups and downs. Many games were won or lost because of a final shot. Regardless of the final score, which resulted in a win or loss for the Colts, they were always winners to us. boys' Front row: Floyd Shufford, Danny Efird, Joe row: Tim Haigler, Chip Hatley, Randall Burris, Adkins, Rodney Furr, Wayland Plyer.

Flying Colors With a long year of injuries and tough opponents, the Girls' Varsity Basketball team kept the faith and hustled to the end. At the beginning ofthe season the girls came out strong and confident. With Christmas came an excellent record of 6-0 and it looked like 1984 would be the year of the Colts. The early part of 1984 proved to be a trying time for the team members as several were out of play due to injuries. Nevertheless, the team came closer and practiced the true meaning of teamwork. After a trying season, the girls came through with flying colors. The many injuries to primary players merged heart-breaking defeats merged with the happy times to create a magnificent season. girls' Charlotte Latin 53-47 Providence Day 68-51 Charlotte Catholic 65-43 South Stanly 68-34 Piedmont 37-29 Mt.
