An undefeated record after ten games. One member of the Girl’s Junior Varsity Basketball Team was asked what made the team so good. She replied without hesitation that Miss Kay Norton, their coach, deserved the credit. Even working out and doing drills with the team, Miss Norton put her whole self into making the team one of the best in the district. She did her best and asked in return that they also play as well as they could. Over half of the team were freshmen who most shared the feeling that they were proud to participate. Sandy Luther, captain, helped the team with offense. Viv Saia was the leading rebounder. As Tricia Heim battles for the ball, she gets tied up with a Fort Hunt player. Ready to try for a rebound is Karen Hale and Dissy Thompson.

B i B About to pass, Debbie Lovell gives her opponent the slip. Playing this season in a different district with new rules, the Girl’s Varsity Basketball Team did not play their best together, but individually, they each improved in skill daily. This year was the first year they played with the same rules as boys’ basketball, which changed some of the procedures for shooting, one on one fouls, backcourt play and in several other areas. They played some excellent games with a strong defense, holding Robinson’s top scorer to less than twenty points even though they were defeated, 46-38. The girls strived each game to do their best, led by Coach Dee Raynes. They were tough competition.
