334 ~ Senior Basketball Senior Wildcats fall short of goal The Wildcat season began with an- _ tlcipations of going to the state tournament. The team had the talent and the potential but things just would not fall into place for them; the Wildcats ended the season with a 6-20 record. Coach James Dickey attributed the losses to "trouble with our free throws and turn overs." When asked about the team itself, Dickey said, "They're a great group to work with and they always work hard and don't quit but it's been hard to keep up the team spirit." Rees Lloyd was given credit for team leadership and John Beavers for the most valuable players with an average of 22 pOints per game. Highlights of the year included a thrilling double overtime victory over Griffithville by a score of 62-61 and also the defeat of Judsonia Central, 70-54, with John Beavers scoring 43 pOints in his best game of the season. Next year, Dickey expects there will be "better shooting but lack of size may hinder rebounding and inside coverage." Also, he looks forward to a new and better year in th~ new conference. "
