Page Seventeen, The Gargoyle, October 18, 1988 Basketball Saints new and improved By KERRY COOPER Sports Editor

Unselfish is the key word for new head coach " Bo'' Clark and his Saints this season. The returning coach brings in a new attitude for a new kind of game and the coaching abilities to make it a success. While here at Flagler, Clark compiled a 30-26 record between the years of 1982-84. He then went on to coach at Winter Park High School, and from there progressed to St. Johns River Community College in Palatka, Fla. Since taking over-at Flagler, Clark has had nothing but excitement for the upcoming season. "We've really had some competitive practices," said the eager Clark. "In order to play my style of game they'll have to be in tremendous shape," he added. For Clark, getting the team into his idea of tremendous shape included six a.m. practice every morning for the past 2-3 weeks. "I'm not .,.._ really looking for the best five players. I'm . five players with the best chemistry together," said Clark. Fifteen Flagler players are vying f~r those Photo by Stephanie Petito five spots and below is a short summary of Members of the 1988-89 men's basket­ Assistant Coach Hugh Lewis, Ricardo each player from quotes given by Coach Clark. ball team are (first row, left to right): Lewis, Jay Clarke, Greg Gilmore, Don Phil Smith, Kevin Poimbeouf, Joe Ca~­ Webb, James Presley, Matt Johnson, Joe Cambron - Will be a great floor leader, he bron, Clay Worden, Neil Tumarkm, ·nerrek Kegler, Doug Lawson, and Head has good floor sense, the best penetration of Rodney Bell, Garth Bolton and ~ean Coach Bo Clark. the guards, an_g. helps with unselfish play.
