A Learning Experience For All SETBACKS SET MOOD FOR VARSITY ROUNDBALLERS Setbacks were synonymous with the Girls' Basketball Program. From the out- set, eager, and hopeful participants were kept waiting well into the second week of the program for coaches to be hired. Coaches were finally found, but problems intensified as individuals abandoned the team because of a disrupting, disunified, and chaotic atmosphere, created by a con- flict in coaching responsibility. Girls' Varsity suffered through a diffi- cult season which can be attributed to a lack of experience, the small number of players, and the lack of a full pre-season of conditioning. Led by Terri Sutton, varsity, in spite of all the setbacks, did not give up, but was respected by other league teams as poten- tial victors, rather than victims. Coach Mark Carrow, with the frustrating season nowin the past, anticipates a successful year in '82 for the Girls, Varsity team. 4 Carlotta Gutierrez and Emily Sherwood rush to take advantage of a CSDR offensive lapse.

oung Ca ers Set Style ay Ups and Dri bling Fundamentals Produce Fiery Spirit l Learning fundamentals, such as lay- 5 ups, chest passes, and dribbling, coupled with a swarming defense, enabled the J .V. Girls' Basketball Team dominated by freshmen, to an 8 and 9 record. Dominated by the fluid presence of Laura Lewis fifteen foot swishers and effortless lay-ins, and Patricia Foster's crashing the boards, the lack of height, detrimental to other EMHS basketball programs, was not a problem. Average height for the J .V. girls was 5'8 . An added advantage was the experience ained, and a winning attitude established by Assistant Coach Manuel Casillas. Along with Laura and Patricia, Sandra Carson's leadership abilities and Becky Vasquez' skills should contribute posi- tively to next year's varsity team. L Sandra Carson dribbles past several Sherman Indian defenders enroute to 'the basket. L Vicky Garza jumps and shoots for two points against Sherman Indian late in the first half. Y Positive aspects of sports programs include formed friendships. Martha Mendez congratulates Laura Lewis for a successful lay in against CSDR.
