The Port Arthur Yellow Jackets stunned area basketball fortune
tellers by toppling French, everbody's pick to win the district crown,
53-51. This win stationed the Jackets in an unexpected tie for first
place and inflicted the team with a new zest that they kept for the
remainder of the season. The most noticeable improvements in the
Jackets' play were their staunch defensive and their aggressive re-
bounding. The offense was balanced as the Jackets put a well-oiled
machine on the floor. Charles Wilson, Benny Warr, and Keith Moore
hit in double figures to lead the way to victory.

After winning two of three games on the road, the Yellow
Jackets dropped their second straight home game to a powerful
French team, 45-42, before a capacity crowd in the TJ gym. Al-
though trailing throughout the game, the Jackets made a battle-
royal out of it in the end. They came within one point of tying the
score on several occasions but never could overtake the battling
Buffs. Charles Wilson captured game-scoring honors with 16 points.
