of Carver High School, and a college graduate of Win

cal Rducation.
I played sports most of my life, and I also played
football while I was in college." McKoy said.
It's the passion to compete that got me started in
coaching, apd coaching is my second passion.
"So really, by coaching I get a sense of competing
without actually having to compete myself,' McKoy
added,
"McKoy has been the JV girls basketball coach and
varsity football coach at Carver for two years. -
"Our basketball team has its ups and downs. At
times we are positive and at other times we're not.
"The thing that has hurt us most this year is having
no experience. None of my girls have ever played bas
ketball before. It would help if sports were played
in the middle schools.

As for my top players. I chose Sherri Sullivan and
Jamie Rahmaan. Sherri is a ninth grader and has the best
knowledge of basketball on our team, and she hasn't
played except for at the YMCA and pick up ball. . ?
Jamie runs my offense court. She has progressed
like night and day. She's now my starter at point guard
and can change from two-point" guard, to two-point for
ward any time.' McKoy said.
Jamie Rahmaan "We need to work on our offense
to finish out the season. I need to drive the ball to the
basket more, then shoot."
Sherri Sullivan Coach McKoy expects us to give
it our all and never give up. 1 feel he is a good coach
;>nd if hr h:id *>nmr hHp hr could ns. mnrp nn an

I tee I next year the girls will be more confident and
understand the movement better. The basic knowledge
will be there, all we have to do is build one it." McKoy
