l Too Tall for too short?Q -1 ey ., . 5 4 x rf FRESHMAN BASKETBALL The pounding of baslcetballs resounded once again on the floors of the North Campus gym. Basketball for ninth graders did not die out with the closing of North Mercer Junior High. The new frosh females turned out in November and began acquainting themselves with the basics of the game. Battling teams from Newport, Bellevue, and Issa- quah, these incoming Islanders became part of the illustrious Islander ball club. However with many high schools still in the process of becoming four year institutions, the freshman league was a hodge podge of teams from as far away as Vloodinville. Towards the end of the season, playing as many as three games a week, it became a contest of endur- ance. Outstanding in the team's season was the two- point victory over Eastside Catholic. Coach Dave Larsen predicted the freshmen program will grow stronger as the league becomes more experienced and will become a valuable feeder into the varsity teams. 152 Back Row Erin Bymes, Heidi Hughes, Traci Ceregino, Elyse Pangbom, Mary Robinson, Coach Dave Larsen.
