hoot Two for Chiefs Several key injuries caused the Girls, Varsity Basketball team to go through what could be called a urebuilding year. The girlsi record hovered around the .500 mark, but after the game against Memorial the Lady Chiefs were 7-8 overall, and 4-1 in the Ozark Conference. Luck had not been on the side of the Lady Chiefs. Although senior Shelia McGinn was kept out of competition the entire year, due to a foot injury, she remained a part of the team by becoming a manager. Senior Heidi Olson was also out of com- petition with an injury to her knee during a Branson game. Even with the injuries, there was still the major problem on inconsistency. ul thought we were finally coming around when we won four games in a row, but then we fell flat on our faces in the Rogersville Tournament. We didn t even place, stated Coach Sue Schuble. 'QWe were really up and down all year. Nothing was predictable in the way we played or scored. Coach Schuble also felt that the team had very good shooting from the in- side with Elaine Highfill, and from the outside with Rhonda Williamson.

168 X jayvee, Hit the Hoop, hiefs Hlndividual help and playing experience on the freshman team has really helped prepare us for the years to come, expressed Dede Caffey, freshman basketball player. Having two coaches this year gave added assistance to players of both jayvee and frosh teams. With the new frosh team program becoming more established, another coach was a big relief. Head coach Sue Schuble worked more with jayvee, whereas assistant coach Diane Cline worked mostly with freshmen. While working with the freshmen, Diane Cline em- phasized concentration on the fundamental skills of shooting, passing, and defense.
