Carmichael was one of theteams inside/outside threats.The team started theseason in an impressivefashion, winning their first 11games by an average of 20points.It was good to get off to agood start, with all the doubtseveryone had about this yearsteam. We felt we needed toprove to people what kind of ateam we really were, juniorTrent Waltz said.As the captains, seniorScott Fisher and juniors ReedCarmichael and Kyle Hankinsled warmups, pre-gamestretches and team meetings.Leading a team as young aswe had was an enjoyableexperience. On the court I feltI needed to be the calm oneand keep my head on myshoulders, Fisher said.Junior Kyle Hankins wasnamed Channel 6 Player ofthe Week for his performancevs. Pike on Feb. 25, where hescored a career high 37 points.Receiving the award was agreat honor. Not a lot of guysget recognized this way. As forthe game, I was just glad theshots were falling, Hankinssaid.Before each game the teamwould get together and claptheir hands to get themselvesready to play.The clapping was a goodritual to have before games. Itgot us pumped up and warmedup. We also added some newrhythms this year, seniorJohn Strain said.Every Saturday that theteam had a night game, theywould all go to a teammembers house for lunch.It was fun getting togetherand playing cards and eatingfood. The team is pretty closeso it was just like hanging outwith your friends, junior JCHulls said.Martinsville was a big rivalfor the team. Though they onlyplayed the Artisians once, thegame was in Martinsville andit was the second to last gamebefore the city showdown withNorth.Playing at Martinsville isalways a hard game. But weworked very hard in practicethe whole week, and played agood team game. The win feltgreat and gave us confidencegoing into the next weeksgame against North, juniorMitch Roberts said.Lizz HersheyRejunofrurhe!1Th7:3Thto■■-itArclhisAdd it upEdgewood: 82-55 WDecatur Central: 85-55 WSeymour: 74-54 WBedford: 65-53 WColumbus East: 74-57 WSouthport: 33-23 WNorth Central: 69-54 WLawrence North: 60-37 WEastern: 78-51 WMartinsville: 62-49 WMitchell: 64-47 WBloomington North: 62-44 LPerry Meridian: 47-46 WFranklin Central: 61-55 LBloomfield: 74-45 WColumbus North: 76-42 WVincennes: 61-50 LLawrence Central: 47-38 WPike: 81-62 WMooresville: 75-66 WColumbus East (Sectional): 65-35 WColumbus North (Sectional): 44-41 WBloomington North (Sectional): 74-30 L= 19-4Soh202 GothicMARCH APRIL 2000
