THOSE LADY CAGERS Although they were unable to achieve the same degree of success as their predecessors the year before, the Girl's Basketball team had a fine sea- son. Third year coach Gordon White directed his squad a successful season which featured 14 wins and 9 losses. The lady Warriors placed a respectable third in the highly competitive Peninsula District. The Warriors fin- ished a rigorous season schedule with a record of 10-6. At the end of District play, the Warriors advanced to the Dis- trict Tournament where they annihilated Denbigh 71-42. The lady cagers fell to archrival Phoebus for the third time of the season by a score of 48-43 in the second round of the Dis- trict Tournament. Honored for their individual efforts were Wanda Harrold as Best Offen- sive Player, Lori Tellinger as Best Defensive Player, and Elizabeth Stillwell as the Most Valuable Player. Lettermen Lisa Wildes, Kim Rob- erts, Tina Popernack, and Donna Lyn Mears were other Warriors who played important roles in the team's SUCCESS. 1981-82 Girls' Basketball KHS Denbigh KHS Ferguson KHS Lafayette KHS Warwick KHS Phoebus KHS Menchville KHS Green Run KHS Bethel KHS Hampton KHS Ferguson KHS Denbigh KHS Warwick KHS Green Run KHS Phoebus KHS Lafayette KHS Menchville KHS Bethel KHS Hampton 34 Girl's Basketball Coach Gordon White suggests a few last-minute pointers to his team in a crucial time-out.

36 Swimming A SWIMMING SUCCESS Q: Who was the last Kecoughtan team to win fifteen or more straight contests and two consecutive district ti- tles? A: The Swim Team, of course! Yes, there is a swimming team at Kecoughtan. And it has been quite suc- cessful over the past few years, placing no worse than second in the district over the past four years, and taking the title three of those years. It has won fifteen straight meets over two years, and has a two-year record of 15-1. What is the key to this phenomenal success? It's swimmers such as senior co-captain Tish Johnson, who has never finished worse than third in a district meet, and who finished her high school career with three district championships. Johnson, voted the Most Valuable Swimmer in two of the last three years, was the key to the 1981-82 Swimming Scores girls' squad this year, and was backed up by a strong corps of underclassmen which bodes well for years to come. The boys' team was led by junior co- captain Mark Midgette, district cham- pion in the 100 free, who was aided by seniors Tommy Stickle, Thom Randolph, and sophomore Tom Jachimowski. The Warrior's strength lay in team performance as both the girl's and boy's 400-meter freestyle relay teams went undefeated through the regular season and placed second in the dis- trict meet, the boys losing by a scant .12 of a second. Freshman Frances Burgdorf, Juniors Anne Jachimow- ski and Michelle Murray, and Johnson comprised the girls' squad while the boys' squad consisted of Midgette, Randolph, Jachimowski, and Stickle. Sophomore Kelly Stein- rnetz also turned in a strong individual performance. The depth of the squad was consis- tently shown by those swimmers who concentrated on picking up valuable points by placing second or third. They consisted of seniors David and Gene Grant, junior Jim Taggart, sopho- mores Britt League and Chuck Poole, and freshman Kyle Olson. At the awards banquet, Midgette was named the Most Valuable Swimmer, senior Gary Humphries was selected Most Versatile, and soph- omore Taryn Vangilder was selected Most Deserving. Other swimmers not previously men- tioned were senior Jackie Lambert, juniors Julie Lamers, Becky Shaffer, sophomores Michelle Wil- kins, Tami Torgler, Kendall White, freshman Tivie Burgdorf, Janet Casey, and Pam Owens.
