 Familiarity Delivers Success GIRL’S BASKETBALL When I get older and look back at the 1987 girls basket- ball team , I’ll remember seventeen girls who never gave up on themselves and played with pride. In sports the two famous words are 'what if, well’. -Roger Edwards, Head Coach Intrinsic to the success of the girls basketball team this year was the determination and persever- ance of the five seniors who had played together since sixth grade. Under the coaching skills of head coach Roger Edwards, the varsity team was composed of the follow- ing: sophomores, Debbie Dittman and Brenda Newton-, juniors, Marla Lusk, Nancy Durfee, Renee Knox and Marilynn Hoffland; seniors. Christine Volek, Jackie Dittman. Evelyn Bucholz, Jodi McDonnell and Cindy Faulstich. Contributing to the Central Conference, District and Regional tournament team were Lisa Busse. Jennifer Faulstich, Stephanie Busse. Amy Kilber and Michelle Luze. The girls finished with a 14-10 win- loss record. The Lady Pirates lost to Wessington in the District finals but still made their way to the Regional Tournament with the Runner-up ti- tle. A slim, four-point margin pre- vented a Pirate win over the Cres- bard Comets in the first round game at the Regional Tournament. Cresbard then advanced to the State Tournament representing Re- gion III. Throughout the season, improve- ment was seen in the entire team. The Pirates were Tri-Champs in the LCAC tournament and tied for sec- ond place in the NCAC tournament. The Lady Pirates placed fourth in the Central Conference Tourney. Named to the LCAC All-Confer- ence team were Christine Volek. Evelyn Bucholz and Jackie Dittman. Evelyn Bucholz and Christine Volek were named to the NCAC All-Con- ference team. Jackie Dittman and Nancy Durfee recieved honorable mention. Evelyn Bucholz and Chris- tine Volek were also named to the Central All-Conference team.

fwe Slammin’ JV GBB Being able to count on the bench was the highlight of my coaching season and the reason that the season was a success. -Robin Boiler. Coach With the coaching skills of Robin Boiler, the JV girls’ basketball team hustled their way through a rocky season. The team consisted of six fresh- man, two sophomores, and two ju- niors who gained experience through equal playing time which they hope will help them gain varsi- ty positions next year. Practice sessions for the team in- cluded a substantial amount of time playing either with or against the varsity squad. Several of the JV players contributed to the varsity campaign. The players on the bench proved just how important subs can be with the enthusiasm they pro- vided and the reassurance that they were always ready if they were needed. Even though their season was not as successful as they had hoped, the girls did learn cooperation, team- work. and leadership skills.
