Both Teams Go For Points Varsity Squad Fairs Better Than J.V. Team Swish! Swish! Swish! This was a familar sound that juld be heard at the girls ' basketball games. Jawana Dries dribbled down the court, she made a lay up for vo points and lead the team to another victory. It wasn ' t too many years ago, that girls basketball jms didn ' t even exist. Today they follow the same lies as the guys, including the new three point rule ny shot made twenty feet from the basket scores iree points instead of two.) I liked the way basket- all is played now better; now that they have the three oint rule, exclaimed Sophomore Danette Alfaro. In addition the new three point rule, many of the layers joined the team, because it was an exciting nd fast moving sport. Most of them also felt that iam spirit and friendship were important. The best ling about being on the team was that we work Dgether on plays and went out together after the ames, revealed Linda Simkoff, sophomore. Some of ie players seemed to think that the worst part was I joined basketball because I like to be in one sport each year, and this year basketball was my choice, said Aphone Chang, sophomore losing a game. The players said their coach was really calm, but when the game was over and they were in the lockeroom, they really heard about it. This years coaches were Ms. Wendy Yates and Mr. James Lau- dermilk. The captains were Suzanne Campbell and Jawana Jones for varsity. The J.V. team did not have a set captain, instead, every two games they rotated. This way everyone got a chance. I really liked the way we did captains. That way no one was left out, stated Cheryl Frost, junior. With the help of the coaches and captains the varsi- ty team posted a 10-6 record. The J.V. did not do as well with fewer wins, they still were proud of them- selves. Even though our record was not so spectacu- lar, our team gave 100% in every game. We were young and possibly, we ' ll come back with a better record next year, summarized Claudine Flores, fresh- man. by Kath OirHG FOR THE POINTS phone Chang jump shots and scores two.
