The new faces are beginning to mesh for Joyner’s squad. Freshman Cassandra Howell is a deadly shooter inside while Sonya Dalton has added a strong passing dimension to accompany point guard Odelia Johns: It’s worth getting to Brayboy gym early Saturday (game time, 5:30 p.m.) for a look at two of the Southern Di vision’s better women’s teams. Veterans Tobe Jackson and Roosevelt McGruder are on a roll with leader ship and clutch play for the Golden Bulls. McGruder is shooting * lorried per cent from the floor since Christmas break. The key to Smith hanging tough in every game so far has been teamwork. “The players have shown enthusiasm for every role we’ve asked each to do,’’ noted Moore. “They have a winning attitude and are willing to work on the little points of their game that add up to big contributions on the court." There’s been a succes sion of Bulls stepping into the spotlight on any given night. Anthony Murphy, John Rousey, Darin Park and Elbert Montgomery are all new faces making important contributions. A Bull strength, though, has been the steady play of center Phil Smith (16 points per game, 9.1 re bounds per game) as well as McGruder and Jackson. The young Bulls will face their greatest challenge^ when they travel to St. TAngustiWr next Thura day.
