A Part of The Team Eager looks were flashed from face to face as Coaches Roach and Haley went over the pre-game plan in the locker room. For many of the young Barons, it was their first game. Their minds were gearing up, and their anticipation was building as the cheerleaders and fans chanted for the Barons. As the team emerged from the locker room, smiles appeared on the proud parents, faces, as well as the players. Now these young men truly had become a part of the mighty Barons basketball program. As a perfect beginning to their first year as Barons, the junior high team opened its season with an impressive 10 point win over Thomas Sumter. The future basketball program was definitely safe entrusted to these young men. 1thX8tlI Grade Boys' Basketball Wilson Hall 38 Thomas Sumter 28 Wilson Hall Roy Hudgins Wilson Hall Thomas Sumter Wilson Hall Coastal Tripp Lee steps into the lane at Craig Shipman watches his free throw go through the basket.

120 - JV Girls' Basketball The sound of pounding feet and the echoing of bouncing balls rang throughout the gym. Lay-ups, free throws, sweat, and aching muscles were all part of our J.V. girlsl basketball team. Our team has had another successful season. The Junior Varsity girlsl team had undergone another change in coaches and adjusted well. This was Coach Robert Wrightenberryls first year coaching a girlsl basket- ball team at Wilson Hall. Coach Wrightenberry compared coaching a girlsl basketball team to a football team, starting that, llThere is a change of total philosophy.n The team put in several hours a week practicing. They also played many scrimmages to help get the season started. HThe strength of the team is their attitude. They're willing to work hard and give up some of their free time, Coach Wrightenberry remarked. The players appreciated the support of the cheerleaders, students, and parents. The team consisted of fun and hard work all rolled into one. These players guaranteed Wilson Hall another excellent varsity team in the near future. After catching an in-bound ball, Alison Sharp goes for two points. Shooting from the sidelines. Lisa Phillips, searches out Lucy Grey Wilson for a pass. The score is in our favor, and the JV Girls' Bench is filled with excitement and activity.
