63mg , 47!A+H+- -46? 4 WW W llWle would always go to lock before a game for mental confidence.H Richie Dozier, junior Long winter days Two p.m.t Friday afternoon, the junior varsity and freshman basketball teams crowd on to their school bus headed for Belton. At 7:30, the two teams still have not even thought about climbing back onto the bus headed for home. Even though they have played their games and have showered, they still have one more game to watch. ultls fair that the varsity doesnlt have to come and watch us play and we have to stay and watch them because they dont learn from us, but we can learn from them, freshman Tim Lar' son explained. The junior varsity and freshman teams support the varsity team, but the support for the junior varsity and freshman teams is not always there. HPeople donlt come because there is a ljuniorl before the var; sity, junior Dean Howard reasoned. Either with small or large sup, port from fans, the teams main, tainecl their spirit with tradi! tions, such as freshman Jason Valliery who wore a sweat band on his left arm at every game. The varsity also had their own tradition. uWe would always go to lock before games for mental confidence,H junior Richie Dozier said. Sophomore Trey Hale did not think it was any certain superstition that won the game, but it was how they performed during warrnvup. Hlf we shoot bad when we are warming up, we will have a great game and if we shoot good, we won't. The varsity won 31 con; secutive games, losing only their last and final game. uWe played as a team, everybody was equal and contributed their part, junior Rob Waight said. A SECOND CHANCE. Catching a rebound, senior John Turman protects the ball in an at- tempt to shoot again. The varsity team compiled a season record of 31 wins and only one loss.
