.With Jataea CathbertsM
A modest proposal for passing the SAT for black
athletes and other athletes who are interested in
passing:
START;
?th grade * Sign up for Algebra, Regular Eng
lish, French-Spanish-German, Physical Science.
8th grade ’ Sign up for Algebra, Regular Eng
lish, French-Spanish-German, Earth Science.
8th grade - sign up for college preparatory cours
es and take the SAT in the spring for the first
time.
loth grade.* Take the SAT in the fall and spring
and guage your scores while participating in a
college preparatory curriculum.
11th grade * Take the SAT in the fall and spring
and guage your scores while still taking college
prep courses.
12th grade- Take the SAT in the fall and spring
if you have not received the prescribed score. By
this time with seven opportunities to take the test,
you should have made the prescribed 700 score.
The SAT is as much psych as it is difficult. You
have to go into it with the right frame of mind and
be ready to perform.
The biggest mistake that athletes make is the
not become acclimated to it.
The conference tournaments for the two local
conferences begin on February 23 and last
through February 27.
The sectionals, in which five teams from
conference will be invited, will be held from
March 2-7.
I am going out on a limb and predicting the
teams that will go from each conference.
I believe one team, North Mecklenburg, is good
enough to advance to the regionals on March 12
14. ■
The state championship will be held March 21 at
the Deandome in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
