THE PRESSURI IS ON At times the stress may be unbearable but when Our team lived by and practiced by the three D's; desire, dedication, and disi- pline, said girl's varsity bak- setball coach, Frank Cam- pos. The team's goals were set high only because the girls knew that they were not un- attainable. They had many obstacles to overcome. Long three hour practices in- cluded ballhandling drills, sui- cide runs and scrimmages that could break anyone': spirit, but these girls wantec to be that much more ahead. The team was made up of five seniors, two juniors, and four sophomores. It was a combination of experience from the seniors, dedication from the juniors, and drive from the sophomores. The starting line up was made up of mostly seniors with three years past experience. This team had a very strong bench that could be relied upon at any time to come into the game ready to play physically and mentally. Both on and off the court there was a bond that couldn't be broken. We all had one goal- to win, said Senior Robin Jung. Design by Kerri Carmody and Judy Wallace. Photos by Jason Flegel.

The J.V. Girls' Basketball team SNOOT FOR THE HOOP as they work for a winning season. With sweaty palms and nervous stomachs, several girts tried their best to make the basketball team. Everybody went through endless hours of warm-ups. dr«$ and condi- tioning exercises but only the best came out on top. Junior varsity players were often considered second class athletes This was unfortunate because they were just as dedicated as the varsi- ty players As individuals and os a team, they gave 100% of them- selves to achieve their common purpose, which was to perfect ba- sic skits and achieve a high level of self-esteem wNe maintaining an element of fun On the court, their playing time was filed with new experiences and successes because they hadn’t had the opportunity to perfect every aspect of the game. “My favorite part of coaching is watching indi- viduals find success in areas they had struggled in before. stated Coach Ellis. Design by Yvonne Trujto and Jane0 Droste. Photos by Jell Dor but. TAKE A LAP. Running around the gym is a famHiar task to the grls of fhe J.V. basket- ba« team.
