G iris basketball No Payoff (Conf ) Anjcanettc Lcgcr was able to explain the changes for the better. We had our troubles at the beginning of the year. Misunderstandings. Coach Odom was getting frustrated. But wc started working together and started winning games. We had no trouble beating DeQuincy, Westlake. Iowa, or Washington-Marion. I think we went farther than anyone expected. We couldn't beat everyone though. I-acassinc killed us. They had a good team because they start basketball in grade school there. Not everyone on our team has. I started when I was in fourth grade so I had a few more years of experience. The team's performance was lack-luster at the season's beginning, but as tensions on the team cased up. they grew more relaxed 3nd started winning games. When the district games rolled around, the Lady Bucs were prepared for the competition. When it came to defeating LaGrange, they suffered no setbacks. They won one game with Sulphur. 46-44, but lost two others to the Tors. They beat Lake Charles-Boston in two games, but lost in the playoffs for second place. 54-57. Nevertheless the team managed to corner third in district. They had suffered their own problems along with having to deal with the strategies of their oppoents. Though unable to stand proud with first place, they could still hold their heads high because they had conquered their worst enemy — themselves. ON THE BENCH. Coach Ronnie Odom and some of (he J.V. players watch as the varsity girls stomp LCB. 50-28. TIME OUT. Rhonda Lujeune and Pam Dixon, seniors, get some last minute instructions before the whistle blows during a time-out in the LaGrange game at Sulphur. THE BOSS. Coach Ronnie Odom drills the last minute changes in the heads of his girls before the Sulphur game. The changes helped as the Bucs whipped the Tors. 46-44. 104 — Girls Basketball

olleyball A MOMENT OF SILENCE. The (earn began each Knc with a prayer that each girl would do her t and no one would be injured. A POINT ACROSS. Coach Fusclicr sends silent signal to Edan Driscoll at the LCB district tournament. The Lady Bucs took first in district and went on to state. MOCK SURPRISE. Stacie Allen, sophomore, momentarily waits to see which direction the hall will come down. Upf Up, and Away With Lady Buc Spirits as Team Caps District ate in August, before anyone had started talking about football, the Lady Buc volleyball team was quietly impressing people from one end of the state to the other. Throughout the season the team dominated their opponents, allowing only a few to gain the upper hand in a match. The Lady Bucs played a match as a complete team, not letting only one player stand in the spotlight. Senior co-captain Edan Driscoll added, When one of us gets hurt there is always someone else there who can take their place. The Lady Bucs swept through the district tournament without losing a match to their opponents. It all fell into place, said Coach Fuselier. After the kind of season we had, the tournament was a great ending. But it wasn't the end. The team went on to defeat Abramson of New Orleans in state playoffs but fell in the second round to South Terrebonne. The New Orleans area teams were the toughest because of the talent they have to choose from and their experience. explained Linda Gary, captain. Volleyball is not exactly what Barbe is noted for, but after their season it will be mentioned more than once. — CART 106 — Volleyball
