Depth Added To Team, Game With more depth on the court and on the bench, the change to full court, five on five, play did not affect the results of the-'girls' varsity basketball season. g junior high through junior varsity teams had Changed to the full court last year, but some of the varsity players had not been involved in the change. ' Coach lim Bars said, The strategy and whole plot of the game was different. it wasso different because of thetway we had to attack the game. Theipotential of the team was seen early in the sea- son when the team placed second in the Alief Hast- ingstournagment and won consolation in the lersey Village tournament. . The tournaments more or less set the pace and determined the team's feelingsabout the whole year, coach Bars said. The tournaments also revealed the depth of the team. The addition of the Carver team added depth and strength to the program. Coach Bars said he was not afraid to send any player into the game, knowing that she would be able to handle the job. ' Another important game early in the season was a loss to Forest Brook, a game in which the team made a' remarkable comeback after having been 27 points behind at the half. 3 y 5 Speed andyaggressiveness were the factors in the team rally against Forest Brook. These qualities com- pensated forthe lack of heighth and jumping ability of the players, coach Bars said.
