Sylvia Jones (Martin) (1973)
In speaking about Fletcher's Football teams of the past, I think last year team went 10-0. However, they lost in the first round of the playoffs.
Fletcher's basketball team in 1994-95 school year was like a blast from the past. They made it to state only to have an injury to one of their starters and lost to Miami Senior. Instead of running up the scoreboard, our bench should have been getting some playing time.
Butch ( a member of the previous great team, along with his brother Ron) was one of the coaches for the team.
The late Joe( Julian) Brown and Bruce Hunter and myself followed that team all the way to state. What a fun year. We gave the late Coach Bernard Wilke team Ribault a big upset. If you recalled Ribault has always had a dynasty in Basketball but we beat them.
The following year we made it to Regionals and played against Daytona Mainland High School which happened to have a stand out player by the Name of Vince Carter, The young man was awesome, we lost the game but little did I know that I was shaking hands with a future NBA player. I guess I should have asked Vince Carter for an autograph.(smile).
Ok, I guess I better give this subject a rest(smile).
Okay classmates let's hear some old school stories or special happenings from the past. Also, continue with the pictures, it's so much fun looking at them.
