Slam Dunk
Julian Pryce is looking forward to playing basketball for the Tornadoes this
year. Last season, the team went undefeated, with Julian as the star
center. But to his shock and disappointment, the other boys who made
the team great the previous year aren't at this season's first practice.
Instead, Julian finds himself surrounded by newcomers and kids who rode the
bench last year. There's no way the team will be as good as it once
was--and Julian discovers that he doesn't like the pressure of being the
sole remaining star, the player others look to to lead the team to victory.
Will he be able to reconcile himself to this role, or will he decide to take
the easy way out?

The Basket Counts
Me Jensen is new to the Titans basketball team, but he knows he could be a
vital part of the starting lineup--if only two other players would give him
a chance to show his stuff. But Caskie and Stoney seem bent on
ignoring him, and Mel knows it's because he's black. Should Mel fight
fire with fire, or should he try to get along, if only for the sake of the
team?
