Sophomores This years sophomore team end- ed their season with a 0-14 record. The Sophomore coach, coach Greenwall, said that being sopho- mores, 'V , they were always will- ing to learnv, and K'They never gave up. At the beginning of the season, coach Greenwall had a few goals in mind she explained that they achieved all their goals, they acquired the necessary experience for years to come, and the funde- mentals for a base to grow from. We were basically weak because of experience, all we need is time and hard work, stated Greenwall. When asked what goal she strived for her team next year it was, A win! She also noted that We liked to implement offense. Injuries really hurt us. We had three people out with serious injuries, said coach Greenwall. Next year during practices they would like to strive for, not only fundementals but to learn the knowledge of strategy of court sense. Practicing with the J.V. and Varsity really helped the team. They could see the level they need to sit their goals at. They learned more from staying with higher skilled people. Most im- proved person was Doreen Frasier, and most valuable went to Jenny Robb. Greenwall ended by saying, learned a lot and so did the girls They were enjoyable to coach.

This years J.V. Girls Basketball team ended record of 3-14. The most impor- tant feeling of the team this year was that they never gave up. They never got down about losing and always went out with a good attitude. Coach Swanson noted that the strongest point of the team was that they always showed compassion, and car- ing for one another. One of the biggest goals achieved was that toward the end of the season they got the defense and the offense working productively together. Coach Swanson also commented that next years goals would be more condi- tioning and to find a workable group of basketball players that would play as a unit. Being creative, running plays, being intense and developing a desire towards basketball were the things that the team strived for in practice. Next year Swan- son wants to be able to realize the true athletes and have them develope a posi- tive attitude towards the game itself and Top: Coach Swanson, Jan Keller, Emily Tirre, Jenny Robb, Laura Eggleston, Amy Fabrezio.

Junior Varsity have the desire to win. During the season coach Swanson looked for the maturing players and for the development of a clean understanding of the game during each game Coach Swanson says, Yes! , he wishes that during the summer his girls will work on shooting on the move and on defense and offensive skills. Playing as a team and maturing as individual athletes was two of the things they really im- proved on. Their best game was against Columbine and when asked why Swanson replied, Our offense and defense really came together. Well, everything came to- getherf, Most valuable players went to Jodi Mead and Emelie Terre. Most im- proved went to Michelle Easley and Lau- ra Eggleston. Even though J.V. had a relitively successful season. the important thing to remember is that J.V. is a learn- ing experience and all players can look forward to Varsity.
