i "Defensively, we're ahead of
! where I thought we'd be," he said.
; "Offensively, we play well in tran
sition, but we struggle when we
!have to set up and run plays."
; One of the team's strength is
its depth.
! "We can probably play 13 peo
!ple," Pennington said. "I don't
think wywill, but I think we're
pretty deep. We'll try to play up
tempo offensively and pressure
defensively. We want to get the
ball out on offense because we
think we can wear people down.
Because we are so small we have
to run."
Pennington said he's been
pleased with the help of first-year
assistant Ronnie Enoch.
"He's been doing a good job,"
Pennington said. "I'm very
pleased to have him."
The Mustangs begin the sea
son with games against tough 4-A
competition. After Christmas
they begin play in a tough
Piedmont Triad 3-A Conference.
"That's inu biggest worry," he
said "We're going to be
improved, but our non-confer
ence schedule is so tough and
then we get into the conference
schedule. Five of the seven teams
in the conference finished either
first or second in their conference
last year. If there's a tougher 3-A
conference I'd like to see it."

and an exciting player to watch ."
Antoine Barnes is the third
returning player who logged con
siderable minutes for the
Yellowjackets.
"Night in and night out
Antoine is one of the best defen
sive players I've bee around." Holt
says. "He's an outstanding offen
sive rebounding machine. Fle's the
guy that gives us the emotional
lift."
Several other returning players
should also figure into Holt's
plans.
Ben Petty, Ryan Braham.
Keegan Haggins and David
Hairston were all on the team at
one time or another last season.
"They are kids who have had
limited playing time in the past,
but will have to give us some help
with experience." Holt says.
"They're the kind of kids we can
depend on. They are guys that
need to be watched."
One unknown in the program
is Rishard Davis, a 6-6 swing man.
who transferred from Florida.
"He's going to be vying for
playing time." Holt says. "He
could be a starter, we just don't
know where he'll fit in."
In addition, sophomores
Coleman Watkins and Rod Jones
will be pushing for playing time as
well. ,
"Coleman is an outstanding
shooter and one of the best ath
letes on the team." Holt's says.
"Rod Jones is a heady player who
will be asked to play a lot of dif
ferent positions."
The rest of the members of the
team are no slouches either,
according to Holt.
"We have some players that just
need time to develop," he says.
"Dwain Little, Darius Smith and
Vince Wilkins are also guys who
are new to the varsity that we
expect to bring along slowly."
Jamille Jackson could be the
biggest surprise in the
Yellowjackets' camp.
"Jamille is an outstanding tal
ent." Holt says. "We expect noth
ing but for him to improve with
experience."
As far as talent. Holt says Poe
didn't leave the cupboards bare.
"I expect us to be competitive
in the new league." he says. "With
a new coach comes a different way
of thinking and a new philosophy.
"We're still in the getting-to
know you process. Each playei i|s
different. But I think the transi
tion is going to be smooth. I feci
that we can get in man-to-mah
defense and then push the balT up
the court I think we'll be the kind
of team people will like to comb
out and see play."

Mustangs girls look to Penn to lead
team to top of new 3-A conference
By SAM DAVIS
The Chronicle Sports Editor
Parkland s 6-16 record last sea
son was its best in more than a
decade. Now the Mustangs hope
to build upon that record and
move their program forward.
To accomplish that end, the
Mustangs will need a good season
from Cassandra "Dee" Penn. The
5-4 guard led the team and the
conference in scoring last season
with a 22-point average as a sopho
more.
Parkland'% success will hingm on
tho hoahhy return of Cassandra
Ponn.
This season as a junior, Penn
will be expected to provide leader
ship in addition to her scoring.
Parkland opened the season
with two tough games in the Mary
Garber Classic and dropped both
by lopsided scores The Mustangs
were soundly defeated by Glenn in
their opener and West Forsyth in a
consolation game.
The Mustangs also opened the
season without Penn in their line
up. Penn suffered a knee injury
prior to the start of the season.
Penn's health will determine
how successful the Mustangs will
be this season. Parkland will also
another losing season.

"We don't have
much height, so we'll
rely on speed and
getting down the
court."
-Dwayne Hawks
have to get more points from
Penn's supporting cast.
Marilyn Lennox and Cherie
Wagner are the two players with
the most experience in Coach
Dwayne Hawks' program. Lennox
finished second on the team in
scoring last season with a 12-poinr
average and also pulled down eight
rebounds per game. Wagner added
six points and four assists per game
out of the Mustangs' bhqkcourt.
The Mustangs will also be short
on height again this season.
"We don't have much height, so
we'll rely on speed and getting
down the court," Hawks said.
Jamie Martin will be asked to
provide scoring punch from the
forward position as will sopho
more Jessica Jones and Stacie
Garrett.
Newcomer Tyrrahmarie
Watson stepped into the starting
lineup during Penn's absence. Her
quickness will be counted upon to
compensate for the Mustangs' lack
of height.
However, Parkland's chances
will ride on the strength of Penn
As she goes, so does the Mustangs.
With a healthy Penn, the Mustangs
will stand a chance of breaking the
.500 barrier. Without her. Parkland
can do little other than accept
