George Sweet t50i out jumps his Great Bridge opponent to contribute some more points to the cause. Though lacking in actual game ex- perience, the Bruin Five showed that hard work and determination can produce a good team. Concentrating on defense, the Bruins were rated third in the Tidewater District. They also had the distinction of ob- toining a position in the tournament in their first year oftcompetition. The highlight of the season had to, be the game with Churchland; which Church- land Won, 18-15. Being a young team with no seniors, the Bruins have high hopes of finishing high in the district standings next year.

1.sz COMPLETE SUCCESSFU L SEASON 154 The J.V. Basketball team, coached by Mr. Paul Duda, showed much promise for the future years of WBHS. The teams greatest setback was its lack of experience; but the team showed that they meant business whenever confronted on the court. The team was composed of nine sopho- mores and a relatively small number of freshmen. Although the team had a great disadvantage it did not lack spirit. Their most disappointing defect was with the Churchland Truckers. The Bruins put up a commendable fight. Even though the team had more defeats than wins, it was a season every Bruin could be proud of. Ricky Borum HH goes up for two against Indian River.
