'Nix Basketball Homecoming Statf Colors of pink and gray decorated the ceremony to honor the senior girls and boys basketball teams. We've Only just Begun, was the theme for the 1988 Basketball Home- coming. Thirteen seniors walked with their escorts to make up the homecom- ing court. I think homecoming was great. I knew when I took over the position of chair person it would be hard. Everything didn't fall into place until that morn- ing. When I walked in with my escort, james jones, I knew that everything was complete. I was over- whelmed and proud be- cause everything was so beautiful, Monica john- son said. The teams put forth a special effort to be all they 34 Sports can be and go all the way, but things didn't always go as planned on the court. Although they may not have the best records, at least they can say that they gave it their all. This as- sembly honored their hard work. Even though our sea- son's record isn't too great, I'm still proud of the team. We have been through ups and downs, but we are still hanging in there, looking forward to the State Playoffs with the support of the school, we will be there, Steven Wil- son said. The girls basketball team started out a good season, but as time progressed things got a little tougher. They have had a lot of close games and oppor- tunities to win, but it just didn't happen. I'm kinda upset because this season didn't go like I thought it would. But I can say that I played very hard and gave it the best that I could, Detric johnson said. Their hard work and de- termination made both teams winners in their own ways. Coach Mobley and a group of Senior Basketball players give a pep talk to the crowd in hopes of encouraging the stu- dents to attend the homecoming game.

They are getting it togeth- er now under a new coach, Cherie Walker, af- ter last year's disappoint- ing season with 20 losses and no wins. This team has poten- tial. They have come a long way. l am looking foward to the second half of the season, Coach Walker said. Their returning mem- bers looked forward to this season. They felt that 36 Sports they had always been the best. They only needed that person to give them that extra push when things got tough. I wanted my last year here at Mills to be the best. I hope that l could be a help to the team since last year was kind of against us. l'm proud to be a part of the Lady Com- ets, Lynette Linsy said. Everyone on the team plays a great part with a special leadership. Their newest members, Debra Martin, Robbie Kelly, and jackie Smith played a great part along with the rest of the team. The leading lady Detric johnson took it to the top along with the help of her team mates as she tries to make the best of her last year. lt makes me feel sad when l just sit down and think about this being my last year playing ball here, Detric johnson said. The Lady Comets gave it their all as they worked hard to reach their goals to be the best. We have found that it takes patience, under- standing, and a lot of hard work, all of which we have experienced this year, Andrea Rainey said.
