Elbow Grease This year's 1983-84 girls' JV Basketball team showed much spirit and determination through PRESSURED PASS. Freshman Gina Stogner 1511 looks to make a quick bounce pass to a teammate in hopes of a two point play. JA their long season. These few loyal girls have given up hours of their time to try and put together a good team. Under the guidance of Tab Whitley, the girls pushed through a vigorous season of ups and downs. They started everyday after school running and shooting in prepara- tion for their battles on the court. They then realized the time consuming practices were all worthwhile. With the desire to win, the girls used these acquired skills to rise to victory on several occasions. Using elbow grease and dis- playing determination was the best way to describe the girls' JV Basketball team. SHOOT FOR TWO.

DEFENSE. Bobby Hathcock and Neil Willoughby display their effective defense skills against South Stanly. Rookies On The Run From early November to mid- February, the life of a basketball player was not just the thrill of victory. Many times, dinner at McDonald's and leaving school early were not privileges. Long afternoons of running, shooting, and passing were often trying. The challenges that were ahead were just a part ofa year of ups and downs for the rookies of the Junior Varsity squad. As practices began, the season faced a new coach, a new team, and a new beginning. At first, it was like the blind leading the blind, says Coach Kim Brown. We were all rookies and we learned to respect one another as well as to play together which meant alot to the team. A season of ups and downs 156fBoys' JV Basketball proved to be a good start for many of the rookies as they learned that you did not always play to win. The team met several challenges during the season. The opening game against Charlotte Latin proved a close one as the team lost by one point. The season continued with narrow losses and heart-breaking defeats. Towards the middle of the season, the team picked up the pace and the winning as each member becameaunit ofthe entire squad. Once the lessons were learned and experience gained, challenges became easier to meet. By some coincidence, long practices became shorter and McDonald's became somewhat a welcome sight. SHOOT FOR TWO. Sophomore Terr Tucker sets up a possible two points. AGGRESSION. Stan Shelton and T Tucker show their aggressiveness as compete against their opponents.
