Though these individuals were named, they were not the focus of discussion at the break fast. The focal point was the teams and their common goal to win the championship. At the Junior Var sity level the major concern is not usually a star player but a team and its cohesiveness. Coach William Gray of Mt.

We need to gel as a team." said Gray, who believes that they can com pete talent wise to dethrone last years repeat Champions R.J. Reynolds. O Reynolds Coach Jeff Overby doesn't believe that being repeat champions holds too much weight and that the brackets can be torn wide open every year. "Being #1 seeded has no indi cation with how the season start ed. it only means we are repeat champions." he said. Reynolds is 2-2 so far this sea son, having played both North Forsyth and Mt. Tabor twice. Overby said he wishes that they had played more games but the competition of both schools has been good. 'Tabor has the biggest team I've seen at the JV level and North is very athletic." Talent level gets tougher and challenging more and more each year according to Overby. He added that he is confident in his team because of their work ethic and positive attitudes. He is returning only one player from last year's squad and admits that there is a lot of work to be done, but he said that the majority of the teams participating are in the same boat. Usually the outcome is determined by how hard the teams prepared prior to the tournament. "In this tournament you have to come out prepared to play and get three good runs," Overby said.
