/ Bobcats still oerfect with Harris ?*? I B^SAM DAVIS T? Chronicle ? J What can you say to your team when it runs off a 25-0 spurt to start a proe? i If you are Coach Marty Stanley of Glenn, whose team used that styrt to take a 75-33 victory over Carver's girls team last Friday night, thie key is maintaining consistency. ! Stanley, whose Bobcats went into this week riding an eight-game winning streak, has seen his team take its game to another level since the return cf point guard Tasha Harris, | Harris missed thq_entire first semester and the Bobcats, who came into the game with high hopes for the season, struggled to a 6-6 record. Harris returned just in time for GJann to start its conference season aijd the Bobcats have posted an 8-0 ma{rk to secure the top spot in the ?league standings, ! Although Harris' absence hurt ttye learn, it also gave the Bobcats an opportunity to develop many aspscts of its team. ? "The thing that helped us was all of our other players got better when T^sha was out," Stanley said. "With out Tasha we had to have more play ers involved in the offense and I think that has really benefited the team." M. H Stanley said I Friday's game I against Carver Bk showed just how I well-rounded the I Bobcats have become. Although Harris was the catalyst for the team, the Tasha Harris team's was extremely balanced. Lind sey Nimentz led the way in scoring with 17 points, Mary Lazenby scored 16, LaShanta Johnson scored IS and Marie Hairston added 12 points. Harris led the team in assists and contributed eight points. Every player on the Bobcats' team scored in the game "We're playing pretty good right now," Stanley said. "I think we're doing good things with the basket ball and making plays out there." However, Stanley said Glenn can't afford to rest on its laurels. In their battle against Carver, Glenn started to get a little flat after taking ,its big early lead. "We still can play better," Stanley said. "We missed a lot of easy shots and we need to stop reaching on defense." One of the reasons for Stanley's trepidation is because he realizes his team doesn't have a lot of time left before the start of the playoffs The Piedmont Triad 3-A Conference Tournament is coming up in less than two weeks and then the Bob cats will begin pursuit of a state title in the playoffs "I think the big thing for us is to focus on each game and play them as we get to them," he said. "I got a little upset in this game (against Carver) because the kids stopped playing hard and started looking at the scoreboard. We can't afford to do that. We have to play the entire game and not think about the next game." ? ' ' The Bobcats are blessed with an abundance of talent and Stanley said he is fortunate in that regard. In Harris the Bobcats have one of the premier point guards in the area. Mary Lazenby is developing into a top post player and Johnson is one of the top scorers in the area. In addition the Bobcats have several good role players like Hairston and Nimentz. 'Tin blessed with a great group of basketball players," Stanley said. "It's a coaches dream to have this kind of talent." Yet, the Bobcats must work hard to reach their goals. "To be a great team, you have to overcome obstacles," Stanley said. "You have to stay healthy and play together." _ j GIAA Basketball Trivia (Round One) Wliat do you know about CIAA basketball?

"I think I'll have a little competition in the regional and then I'll have to step it up for the states." < Melton Hardee. Lowe's coach, said he's trying to make sure that Leave doesn't become complacent. I "When he gets to the state's the competition is going to get a lot bet ter^' Hardee said. "He's having a good season, but we're to the point that we're preparing him for the big ger picture." ; Lowe's success has come at a premium, according to Hardee. Sev eral top wrestlers have moved up or down to avoid head-to-head con frontations with Lowe. That has not benefited Lowe. "He has a lot of work ahead of him now," Hardee said. "He has to realize that the competition steps up and he has to be ready. Once we get past the regionals I think he'll be okay because he'll go against some good people in the regionak" Hardee said he'll be putting a lot of extra work into getting Lowe ready. He always has to stay aware of Lowe's hyperactivity. "When he finishes working out with me. he's usually calmed down," said Hardee, a former CIAA cham pion at Winston-Salem State "He .knows it's no play thing. I think that is going to help him to improve" Assessing Lowe's future Hardee said Lowe can go a long way. "It's really up to him." Hardee said. "Usually, the college recruiters start looking at you when you finish in the top two or three in the state Mike has the potential to do that, but it's up to him to determine it. If he works hard and puts everything together he should have a good shot." Last year Lowe was ahead of the eventual state champion when he got caught in a move at the end of the second round match and could n't recover. This year Hardee said Lowe must take advantage of his experience. "He can't get caught up in the excitement." he said. "He has to stay focused and realize what's at stake" I jsa j^^^B^j^^^ajj^jJj.iiLi_L_ii3Li.t-Ai>iwfciTfl "?>iitiifll^F W/mffPrn m^y 7 y M MB With this Ooupotl Buy Any Thiae (3) General Mills ; !
