fCarver girls working on fundamentals Bv SAM l)AVK Athlmy CrtiwtH Kyuanna Nappmr The Chronicle Sporls Editor .? Kerry Taylor hopes his tenure as head coach of the girls pro gram at Carver will be different from his predecessors. The Yellowjackets haven't been above the .500 level in more than a decade and Taylor hopes he can work enough magic to get the program a winning season. To do so, Taylor will need to get his team to jell quickly. The Yellowjackets have some experi ence returning. But considering the fact that the team won only one game last season after a win less record the year before. Carver will be hard-pressed to be a factor in the Piedmont 3-A Conference race. Among the veterans, Latoya Scales is the top player. Scales stepped into the lineup last sea son as a freshman and gave the Yellowjackets an inside-outside threat. Scales was among the leading scorers with a 10-point average last season. Junior Charlena Carlton also logged considerable playing time last year and averaged six points per game. The only other players that saw playing time were Christina McCravy and Kristine Ford. "We have a few players with playing experience, but we will depend heavily on a lot of young players." Taylor said. "We are bringing in a totally new system and way of doing things, so we expect the process to be slow in the beginning. But we think we'll be a lot better by the time the conference season begins." The Yellowjackets' lack of experience showed early. They were defeated soundly in their two games in the Mary Garber Classic. But Taylor said he expects the Yellowjackets to bounce back. "For us to go into the tourna ment without any game experi ence was tough." he said. "We were thrown to the wolves early. But we'll learn from it and get better." Taylor will have to rely on a freshman at the point. Ashley Creswell will quarterback the Yellowjackets team and Taylor hopes her ability will compensate for her lack of experience. Another freshman, Kyuanna Napper, will also step into the starting lineup at the shooting guard slot. Napper will also see action at small forward. Newcomers Stephanie Griffin and Kristen Theodore will also vie for playing time. "It's really too early to tell how this team will come togeth er," Taylor said. "Right now we just want to work hard and improve. We're in the first year of a rebuilding process. We're going to work hard on the fundamen tals."
