In the case of the 1985 girls varsity basketball season, it did have an impact, and significant it was. Although their final record of 12 wins and 8 losses did not reflect this, each league game was a hard fought battle coming down to the last seconds of the game. Four points separated us from first and fourth place, said Co-Captain Karen Marshall. This slim distinction between first and fourth place vividly indicated the fierce competition in the battle for the SMA title. The team played a solid man-to-man defense and giants Karen Marshall and Kim Roe forced teams to take outside shots which was harder for them (the opponents), said Suzy Beagen. These outside shots allowed Seaholm to take advantage of their fabulous rebounding skills, led by Karen Marshall. Although things did not always run smoothly on the court, the team still had a sense of unity which conquered all else. We were all friends, said Beagen. Su2y and Molly Beagen stand awestruck before Becky Lojek ' s display of aggressiveness and determination. Lojek ' s rebounding technique de- monstrates the team ' s motto. We ' re intense! The girls ' strength and unity as a team was tested several times, especially during the final game in district play against highly-ranked Marian. The girls held their own, gleamed coach Gary Chamberlain. We gave them (our opponents) all they could handle. In their last Seaholm basketball game, seniors Amy Tikkanen and Karen Mar- shall sparked the team to a near upset of the Mustangs. It was our best game of the year, even though we lost, said Tikkenan. Tikkenan ' s phenomenal shooting from outside guaranteed her All-SMA Honorable Mention. Kelly Hayes also received Honorable Mention, while S. Beagen and Marshall received All-SMA honors. Marshall earned a spot on the All-Oakland County team, and the All- Area as well as being named MVP. Roe was voted the MIP, Becky Lojek won the Outstanding Defense Award while the Sportsmanship Award went to Belinda Carter and Molly Beagen. 174 GIRLS ' VARSITY BASKETBALL
