Even though practices may seem to be a real bother, you realize in the long-run that it is really worth it. After years of monoto- nous practice, the Lady Bear cats proved it pays off. The Lady Cats captured their third District Cham- pionship in a four year span. With a bye to the fin- als, the Lady Cats faced the Mansfield Tigers, Friday, February 26. After an over- whelming 63-44 win, the Lady Cats then traveled to Westfork to take on Gra- vette March 3 in the Northwest Regional Tour- nament. Trailing by three to four points the whole game, even coming within one point right before the half, they could never come out ahead and lost 34-28. The five starters achieved recognition by being named to the All- District team. Trena and Tresa Adair, Brenda Tom- lin, and Michelle Whitaker were named All-District; Martha VanAllen received Honorable Mention. Brenda Tomlin was also selected to play for a Junior Olympic team this sum- mer. She, Michelle Whi- taker, and Trena Adair were recognized as players of the week in the Arkan- sas Democrat. Trena Adair also re- ceived first team All-Area, All-State, and All-Region. By Lisa Lippard.

 Games like that put, at least, ten new gray hairs on my head! laughed an ex- cited but relieved Coach Steve Brown concerning the Lady Cats nail-biting victory over the Ozark Lady Hillbillies, 40-36. After coming from behind ten points at the half; the Lady Cats rallied in the third and fourth quarters to send the game into overtime. The turning point came in the third quarter with Tresa Adair hitting three straight baskets. Then Brenda Tomlin drove in for two, was fouled and made both shots. Combined with Martha Van- Allen's and Tomlin's freethrows, the third period ended with Booneville trail- ing 23-24. Michelle Whitaker's two freethrows brought the Cats the lead in the begin- ning of the fourth. After that, an ex- change of baskets by both teams tied the score 30-30 with 49 ticks left. Defense by Tomlin and Trena Adair contributed to converted baskets making the score 34- 31 with sixteen seconds to go. But, Melton from Ozark shot a three- pointer hitting nothing but net, sending the game into overtime. The Lady Cats spread out their offense after grabbing possession of the jump. The Adairs and Tomlin worked the ball up top, wearing the defense down. Spot- ting a weakness, Trena drove from half court to score a lay-up. Tomlin then picked off a pass; the Lady Hillbillies fouled to stop the clock. Trena and Tresa Adair combined with Brenda Tomlin's freethrows put the game out of reach, 40- 36. By Tresa Adair Tresa Adair (20) and Martha Van Allen (10) work to set a trap on Brenda Turner (24), while Trena Adair stays close to the goal as a safety and Brenda Tom- lin (35) and Michelle Whitaker (52) hustle down to set up on defense.
