Girls finish sixth in Welco For the second year, the EPHS girl cagers showed their skill on the basketball floor, making a vast improvement with a 6-10 record over last year’s 3-10 record. Tryouts for the team consisted of individual basic skills. 40 girls tried out for the varsity team, and 12 made it. Even though the varsity team members changed considerably during the season, the starters remained relatively the same. First year Head Coach Joan Suidzinski used a strict set of training rules which seemed to be important to the success of the team. During the season, with the exception of a few suspensions, the team excelled and put forth a total effort. This effort paid off. especially in the game with the Eaton Reds. The Bobcats won in overtime by eight points. At the end of the season, the girls traveled to Greeley to compete in the Welco sub-district tournament. After two nights of play, the EP Bobcats came home with 6th place out of 12 teams. Individual awards were given to Kelly Spaur - most improved; Tracy Cudworth - best defensive; and Jan Johnson - most valuable. Lori Thorpe received honorable mention for Northern Welco. and Johnson was named to the AU-Welco team. The JV’s ended the season with a 5-11 record, which is also an improvement over last year. ON THE LINE The Bobcats take a breather as Lori Thorpe shoots a free throw. 26 Girls' basketball
