A LITTLE TOO HIGH- jenny Riggs jumps to save a desperate pass by a covered teammate enabling the Sandites to re-establish their offense. -J R? j a si , j -:Qi fi LOOKING FOR AN OPEN PLAYER- Denise McDonald, forward, tries to set the proper offense for the Okmulgee team. Faced with the toughest schedule in Sandite girls' history, team members found that wins were hard to come by, but the team steadily made progress throughout the year with many young players getting valuable varsity playing time and gaining confidence in themselves. Many accomplishments were made by the outstanding group of girls. On Dec. 19, the Sandites defeated eighth-ranked Okmulgee on their home court with a score of 55-54 and in january advanced to the finals of the Tulsa Central Invitational basketball tournament, placing second to highly regarded Tulsa Rogers, 68-60 in the finals. Also in January Sherri Palmer, senior forward, was named the Tulsa World's player of the week for scoring 85 points during that week and carrying better than a 29-point average. The team's biggest problem was their lack of height compared to other teams they competed against. They also had their share of injuries. At one point in the season all three starting forwards were injured, Palmer and Rhonda I-Iardage with ankle injuries and Denise McDonald with a knee injury. The team only had two seniors on the 20-woman squad. They were valuable in the leadership of the team. The other members were juniors and sophomores who gained valuable experience that should really help in the future, Coach Larry Rehl stated. With a young team that has little experience, practice is very important, he added. The team practiced five or six days a week, approximately 1Vz-2 hours per day.
