Girls BB Bounds and Rebounds Frustration and disappointment were the prevail- ing emotions as the Varsity girls basketball team battled to finish season play with the district title. A misunderstanding over UIL rules caused them to forfeit one game at the peak of the season with a 13-5 record. Struggling to overcome this loss, the team defeated Quinlan. A heartbreaking loss to Whitesboro l43-46l dashed all hopes of the title, and the Pirates finished Distrct play with a 6-3 season. An uplifting note came when Dee Dee Winfrey was named to All-district and Jan Watkins, Kelly LeFevre and Gloria Dossett were added as Honorable Mention. Under the direction of a new Coach, Fontelle Flavin, the J.V. ended their season with a 4-1 record. The team bounded through district season play, beating every team in sight. The only loss came with the game to Lake Dallas. This loss end- ed season play with a tie for lst place in District.

Derek Ammerman Jim Bob Brundidge Team Gave 10071 and Hustledn That old catch-all excuse, new-coach snydrome, or the fact that almost all of the varsity team was still playing football at the beginning of the season did not seem to phase Mike Hall, the new varsity boys basketball coach. He expected the team to perform well, and they fulfilled his expecta- tions by placing third in district. According to Coach Hall, The team was determined to do their best and hustled every time they got out on the floor. They made many ad- justments and gave 100013 and more. The first round of district began with three consecutive wins, as the Pirates defeated Commerce 178-73l, Whitesboro 163-46l, and Quinlan l56-481. Defeat was a disappoint- ment as the team was edged out in the last two games of the first round by Allen Q66-541 and Lake Dallas C68-633. The second round of play began on a rough note. The Commerce Tigers narrowly defeated the Pirates C63-585. However, in a turn around, the cagers came back with a win over Whitesboro C72-49l, and Quinlan Q52-42l. With high hopes, the team battled with their archrivals Allen, but lost Q76-605. In the final game of the year, the Pirates defeated Lake Dallas 175-72l, placing them third in the district. An additional bonus for the team was the naming of Blake Barry and Derek Am- merman to the All-District first team. Dell Upshaw and W. C. Nix received Honorable Mention.
