Our team this season was well- balanced. If some- one was having a bad night, the other team mem- bers would corn- pensate for him, sophomore Greg Barber said. For the girls' team, there wasn't only one outstanding playerg they played together as one unit, according to sophomore Cori Hagan. The boys' team finished the season with a 19-4 record. Their only losses coming from Glendale, Pleasant Hope, and Fayetteville, AR. Competing in the Bolivar tournament v against varsity teams gave the boys experience that will help them in the future, Barber said. Barber was selected to the All-Tournament team and was the only jayvee plryer to receive the award. I was elated when I received the award. It was a big surprise as well as a great honor, Barber said. Averaging 11 points a game, junior Kris Pittman led the junior varsity Lady Chiefs in scoring. She also averaged 5.7 rebounds a game to Megan Montie1's 4.9 steals a game and Janeen Hutchinson's 63 percent shooting from the line to guide the jayvee squad to their 18-1 record. Their only loss came from a varsity team from Mountain Home, AR. A good defense, balanced scoring, and teamwork were essential in order for us to be successful, Hagan said.

Once we realized we had that long of a winning streak it was really exciting and a challenge to keep it going senior Ronda Hubbard said. The Lady Chiefs were stopped one game short of another trip to Columbia by Lee's Summit Tigers, 59- 53. UI wish if we had to lose, it would have been earlier in the season so we would have learned from it and done better in the latter part of the season Junior Shelley Spears said They won the conference for the fourth year in a row and the district tournament for the third year This season was the first time the Lady Chiefs participated in the Raytown South tournament They won first place after three wins Conference is one of our big goals at the start of the season. We have one of the toughest conference in the state so I m really proud we have accomplished that record Hubbard said. The Lady Chiefs were led in scoring by Karrissa McCarter and Patty Porter with an average of 16 and 14 points per game, respectively. The overall season was a success, I would have liked to end our season as State Champs again, senior Capri Hales said. GIRLS' VARSITY BASKETBALL 5, - ,,.....,,...,.....L . L. 'fi
