Lee Anne Cochran, Pam Alexander, Cecelia Hernandez, and Nancy Brown Girls ' Shoot for the Stors They are hard working and they all have basketball in their hearts, boast- ed Coach James Laudermilk about the girls ' varsity basketball team. He kept the team busy after school with two- hour practices every day, making them run, run, run. Even though the work was tough, senior varsity member Kim Langston complimented the coach. He is a good and talented coach and knows the game. Although the majority of the team was short in stature, they set their sights high with a goal of at least sec- ond place in the Ivy League. We need leadership in order to achieve these goals, stated Pita Lopez, soph- omore. She felt with the right kind of peer leadership even a first place could be attainable. The nine-member junior varsity team, coached by Rose Fedenuik, shared the gym and buses with the varsity team to away games. JV team stated, Sometimes we ' ll even prac- tice together. Coach Fedenuik wasn ' t sure what kind of season JV would have at first, but after taking first place at the He- met Tournament she exclaimed, They have played outstanding ball and encouraged each other! Those wins left her optimistic about the team season. 75 Girls ' Basketball

Wrestlers Run to Stay A top Ivy For the wrestling team warming up at the track was a main aspect of the after-school practices that lasted up to two-and-a-half hours each. Wres- tlers ran fifty-yard sprints with twenty sit-ups and push-ups in between every run. One hundred yard sprints and 440 yard sprints had to be run under ninety seconds each or be run again. Now that ' s a workout! This was the way to reach their goal of placing in the top five at the Rubi- doux tournament, where they placed second, and being in the top half at Indio where they placed ninth out of eighteen teams. Sophomore Ron Main commented, It ' s a first class team. According to junior Donald Ciota. a three-year member, the success of the team was due to Coach Dick Gibson. He added, He ' s tough; he does a lot of wrestling himself, and he ' s good. (After the completion of this page, the wrestling team and the entire campus were shocked and saddened by the death of Coach Dickie Gib- son on January 15, 1981) FRONT ROW Launa Rutt, Marcella Loper.
