' . N ew coach . . . continues C.I.F. success New Coach Mike Lukens moved into what looked like a coach ' s dream. Tak- ing over a C.I.F. team that had 7 return- ing players plus 3 from an undefeated JV team. They started out the season with a 3rd place in the difficult Etiwanda Tourney and a 5th place in the Eisenhower Tourney. Beating Tustin in the Etiwanda Tour- ney was a great achievement because they were ranked 4th in the 4A Divi- sion. Some tough games were played against Norco, Fontana, and North. Coach Lukens said, We played real well against Norco and North in one game, but in the other we didn ' t play up to our potential and it cost us. The team lost starting point guard Kris Kuziomko for seven games due to pneumonia and starting forwards Kerry Moyer and Lisa Goforth for two games due to ankle injuries. The bench did a good job of replacing them. Even with the injuries and illnesses the team pulled out a second place finish in Ivy League, and a spot in the playoffs. They lost to Walnut in the first round. The leading scorer, averaging 14 a game, and rebounder was center Girta Shaw. Forward Kerry Moyer led the team in assists. Varsity n®n Sports

How- ard Lyon took over the team when Mrs. Davis decided to call it quits. Coach Lyon had his work cut out for him with only one returning player, Audrey Crawford. They didn ' t get off to a good start, losing both of their preseason games. However, they improved at the begin- ning of league winning 2 out of 3. They played a strong defense all year long. Their ball handling and passing were very weak. Coach Lyon said, They came a long way and did very well be- cause they had no experience to begin with. The leading scorer, Stacy Pipes. moved and missed the last six games of the season. Valerie Hervey did an excel- lent job of rebounding. Stephanie John- son stated, It was a very good exper- ience and a big challenge and I had a lot of fun playing. Audrey Crawford was given the Coach ' s Award, Valerie Her- vey was named Most Improved and Au- tumn Gilbert was Most Valuable. Jr. Varsity Sports
