According to Coach Anita Mc- Coy, the girls' height, skill, speed, and enthusiasm led J, the team to an L undefeated season. The freshman Lady Chiefs ended their season at 12-0. This was the first year for our team to go undefeated. It made us want to work harder to win each game, freshman Sherry Spears said. Leading 20-0 in the first quarter against Glendale sparked the girls off to a good start. Our defense created many fast break opportunities, freshman Katie Guttroff said. Since we were playing Glendale, we were more intense and up for the game, she added. The girls had a dream of keeping the state title at Kickapoo for a few more years, according to freshman Valerie Magness. We did awesome this year, she added. The freshman Braves scored many impressive victories, the most notable over Central, 32-31. The winning basket was a 15-foot jumpshot made by freshman Phil Johnson as the buzzard sounded. We had a good season even though we lost to Hillcrest twice: it didn't stop us, freshman Brock Sanders said. Coach Steve Grant looks forward to the future in seeing this team's talent progressing and once they reach varsity, possibly capturing the state title. The two junior highs molded well together creating a fun team with talent and ability, Coach Grant said. -m 72 FRE SHMAN GIRLSYBOYS' BASKETBALL In an attempt to go for a rebound, Valerie Magness watches on as jennifer Cothern rips one off the board.
