Andrea Rainey and Tara Parish listen very closely as Coach Walker gives last second instructions to those girls on the team. Attitudes Brian Linn What it takes to make or break a basketball team Kirn Ferrell Staff Qualifications for a win- ning basketball team have to be sportsmanship, de- termination and a great at- titude. Having these quali- ties and using them to their full advantage gives a school a basketball team to be proud of. Attitudes are the most important thing to the girls basketball team. They haven't had the greatest scores, but the games they played have been the best. Their togetherness and the energy on the court was really something to see. 38 Sports The altitude of a per- son is determined by the attitude, Coach Walker said. This year the Arkansas Gazette printed a player of the week. This was to re- ward the players for the outstanding actions on the C0urI. Detric johnson, Robbie Kelly, Lynette Lin- sey, and jackie Smith were all elected as players of the week. Getting that title made me feel like my coach thought l was doing my job and that she had a lot of confidence in me, Robbie Kelly said. These girls average practicing hours were over 3 hours a day, during athlet- ics in the morning and then daily after-school practices. The morning practice was used to work on the fun- damentals for the individual playersg after school, the players work on attitudes and working together as a team. Our attitudes and to- getherness has improved a lot since the beginning of the year and our playing on the court reflects it, Mi- chelle Bryant said.
