Both coaches report
several players are
showing progress amd two
winning seasons are cer:
talnly within reach.
Mrs. Brooks, In her first
year at KMHS after coach
ing at her alma mater,
Alleghany High School In
Sparta, says she has been
Impressed with the play of
several girls.
Susan Mltchem, of
course. Is the most
promising KM performer,
and should rank as one of
the top players In the state.
She’s led the club In
scoring the past two years
and was the team’s most
valuable player last
season.
Others who have looked
good In practice Include
Phyllis Mack, Angle Hick
man, Priscilla Rlcken-
backer, Oayla Roberts and
Sherry Ingram. Ingram
was starting for the Moun
talnettes last year as a
sophomore before suf
fering a knee Injury that
put her out for the season.
Judy Henderson, a
returning starter, Felicia
Bristol and Deborah Hayes
have all looked good imder
the boards. Henderson was
the team’s leading re
bounder a year ago and
Bristol and Hayes are both
over six feet tall.
"Everybody’s real
excited,’’ says Coach
Brooks. "We’re all anxious
to get started."
Coach Blalock Inherited
four starters from last
year’s team, which fin
ished second In the SWC
under Coach Allen Dixon,
but the former Compact
coach says those returnees
are having a hard time
winning their positions
back.
Several newcomers are
progressing well,
especially 6-4 William
Lockhart, a transfer from
I Crest, and a pair of sopho
mores, Olenn Ellis and
Vernon Bell. ’They’re cur
rently running on the first
unit with returnees Bobby
Odoms and Eddie Ingram.
’The Motmtalneers neld a
scrimmage Monday night
and Coach Blalock said he
was highly Impressed. Wil
liam Thompson, who Just
Joined the team after com
peting In football, played
well In the scrimmage and,
according to Blalock, has
Improved a lot. Jeff Pres
cott and ’Terry McClain
also came off the football
team.
