Wilkins and Pettaway honored
Sonya Wilkins and Linda Petta
way have been named to the All-Al
bemarle girls' basketball team.
Wilkins, a junior point guard, was
named to the first team, while se
nior Pettaway was placed on tne
QpcnnH team. .
Wilkins, a three-year veteran of
the team, earned a place on the
Lady Pirates' starting roster dur
ing her sophomore, junior and se
nior years. She set the pace for the
1988-89 season. ,.
The game that stands out in the
mins of both girls during the past
season was the Pirates win over
second-place conference rival
Manteo. "They said that we
couldn't beat them, that we had no
chance. But we showed them,
didn't we?" Wilkins said with her
shy grin.
When asked why they felt the Pi
rates were successful during the
1988-89 season, both girls said it
was because they "played team
ball."
Their respect for Coach Harrell
Thach was evident. "I think Mr.
Thach has been like a father to us,
said Linda. "He was always there
for us on and off the court. Sonya
added, "If we lost, Coach Thach
just said not to let it get us down.
Sonya said her biggest disap
pointment of the season was not be
ing able to defeat the strong Lady
Red Barons. She said she thought
the Pirate team had the talent, but
just couldn't better the Gates
squad.
Linda was unhappy that the
team didn't win the tournament.
The Pirates' leading point
scorer, Sonya shot for 32 against
Manteo. Linda's most memorable
game was against Weldon, when
she scored 21 points and collected
22 rebounds.
Although she hasn't decided
where to go to college next fall,
Linda said she would like to play
basketball. Meanwhile, back at
PCHS, Sonya wants to play on a Pi
rate team that "goes all the way.
Winners of the youth art month drawing contest at PCHS were (left
to right) Dallis Turner, honorable mention; Brad Langevin, second
place; Daryl James; third place; and Matt Matthews, first place.
