Shoots for Big Time The girls' junior varsity basket- ball team, facing a new league, had a great challenge ahead of them. They put in many extra hours prac- ticing in order to prepare for their games. Since many junior varsity players were striving to reach the varsity team, the players gave a great effort. The girls' jv basketball team began their first league game against Los Altos with a 7-3 preseason record. The cause of losing to Los Altos was because Los Altos found our inability to move the ball against a press defense and they pressed us or most of the game, said jv coach Iim.Salyer. It is safe to say, we showed up for our first league game but then the lights went out! said Salyer. ' The Lady Brahmas were led by UP FOR GRABS - a Diamond Bar player reaches for the ball. Diamond Bar's opponent for that game was La Puente. f--v-4--v....f Renele Brooks, freshman, Gina Maravilla, freshman, and Sam Cushin, freshman. They were directed by their captains Ginny Kim, sophomore, and Shannon Bailey, so homore. I woulgl like to see the team im- prove with each game by correcting the mistakes, and hopefully we will continue being competitive, said Salyer. We are a really strong team because everyone is good at every aspect of the game. Nobody quits and everyone always tries and en- courages everyone else, said Maravilla. The junior varsity team began their season with a 4-1 record. The team has a good attitude, a desire to work hard and an eagerness to learn but the team needs to condition, said jv coach lim Salyer. Everybody knows that we play a good team and that everyone can't play, and each team member does er tpart to help the team be suc- cess ul, so everyone gets along fine, said Salyer.
