This expression has become a reality for the Lady Comets. The Lady Comets start- ed the '87-88 season un- der the direction of coach Cherie Walker who coached at Sylvan Hills last year. Coach Walker is a great coach. l think that she made a lot of difference in the way we played. She is just a great person in every way, Shelaine Moses said. During the course of 30 Sports their season the Lady Comets were only defeat- ed four times. Their all- around record was 9-4. During conference play they were 6-'l, only losing to Bryant. This year the Lady Com- ets achieved numerous awards. They were first in the conference, second in the district. Coach Walker received an award for best coach in the district, and Tracy Smith and Shelaine Moses were selected as all-conference players. Tracy Smith was also se- lected for the all-state team. 'fl think that being se- lected to all-conference and all-state was a great feeling of accomplish- ment for the three years of hard work that l've de- voted to the team, Tracy Smith said. The team is made up of six returning seniors, three juniors, and two sophomores. The man- agers of the team are Gob- rielle Fair and Renaee Bunting. The one thing that has helped us a lot is our to- getherness as a team, An- drea Rainey said.

Of course, it could only be Comet Bas- ketball. This year the Comet Basketball team received a new coach, Coach Mob- ley. The Comet's season got off to a slow start. Throughout the season the Comets broughtvicto- ry, defeat, and excite- ment. 32 Sports I feel that we would have done a lot better in the beginning of the year if I had had a longer time to get to know the team. Now that we have gotten to know each other we are doing a lot better, Coach Mobley said. Many of the players feel that Coach Mobley has helped them out in their playing. Coach Mobley has taught us how to be re- sponsible, Ronnie Robin- son said. Even though the team didn't do exceptionally well during the season, many of the players feel that this is the best ball club to come through Mills. I have enjoyed playing basketball the last six years. It has given me a chance to prove my abilities to those who have doubted me. Even though our record doesn't show how good we are this year, I feel that this is the best ball club that ever came through Mills, I feel good about our team and the suc- cess we have had, Steven Wilson said. ms rsi f A N, I
