Cagers have learning season Both girls basketball teams had their ups and downs during the course of the season. This was basically a learning year for the girl roundballers. The domination of sopho- mores on both teams seemed to be a major factor. The girls had to learn a new way of play- ing basketball other than that to which they had previously been accustomed. The teams gained momen- tum in the middle of the sea- son, with the turning point for the varsity team being the Newton Invitational. The team displayed a well- executed defense and proved they could play good team ball at the end of the season, commented Coach Alana Pharis. SENIOR CO-CAPTAINS: Front: Sue Montford.
