8 Men’s Basketball: LADY Canes READY Ready to Shoot the Lights Out The men’s basketball team, coached by Enid Drake, take the floor against Atlantic Christian College, in Holton Gymna sium on November 29, at 7:00 p.m. The excitment is building as the team looks to improve on last year’s impressive record. “The team is pretty w^ell rounded and we’re coming along,” said coach Drake. With three of their leading scorers returning, the team will have a powerful inside game as well as a good perimeter game. "Right now we need to work a little harder on our defensive game,” said Drake. The^team is ready but faces a very tough schedule. Both Coach Sheilah Cotten and Coach Mike Holloman are feeling confident about the Lady Canes upcoming basketball season. Tlie women will play their first regular season scrimmage against Elon College on November 4. Fundamentals have been the major emphasis in early season practice. With only two returning players, Joann Whitfield and Gloria Duggins, the coaches feel that the players must be brought along slowly. Passing, dribbling, shooting and individual defensive techiiiques have been the emphasis thus far. The team will soon start working to implement team plays and strategy. Although the team is fairly well rounded, Holloman sites some weakness in rebounding-an area they will have to improve upon. Perimeter shooting is one of the team’s greatest strengths. The Lady Canes play a 20 game schedule-three of their first five are at home. “You always play better at home,” said Holloman. “We should get off to a good start,” he added.
