Flying high to number one With a home court win over Harding in January, the junior Bruins completed a perfect conference mark of 4-0 and captured the regular season championship, finishing the season with an overall record of 16-4, the best ever by a junior Bruin team. The squad consisted entirely of freshmen which gave them both depth and an edge in experience over their opponents. 'We had lots of good players, and I expected them to do well, explained Coach Gary Shoptaw. The Junior Bruins started the season a little unsure oftheir capabilities according to Shoptaw. As the season progressed they gained confidence and knew they had the ability to win. The players credited most of their success to the team's unity and togetherness. 'We always played together as a team and cooperated during practice and games, commented Dietrich Maune. All the players respected each other and the coach. With so many players out for basketball it was possible for P.A. to field an eighth grade as well as a seventh grade team. The eighth graders finished their season with a 6-2 record. The seventh grade team finished with an impressive 6-I record which included winning the CAC Invitational Tournament. Crip shot. Although freshman guard Jason Leavitt adds an easy two points in the opening game against Oak Grove, the junior Bruins lost the game, They bounced back, however, to win eight straight. .lunlor High Baietblll.

.ji- ,..f Flying high to number one Winning and losing wasn't the most important thing in athletics. It was the competition and cooperation with the teammates that counted. Although the volleyball team didn't win a single game, they still gained experience. 'This was one of the best seasons P.A. has ever had, said captain Heather Dunn. I really enjoyed being the only senior on the team because the other girls looked up to me for support. I'm sure that next year they will be a better team because of experience. Volleyball was not the only team that had only one senior. The girls' basketball lil team was led by Catherine Bellingrath, captain. 'Basketball is a sport which calls for lots of spirit and ethusiasm. I felt it to be my responsibility to keep the girls fired up at all times even during practices, said Catherine. Sure, we wanted to win every game, but yet we know that you can't win everything. Even though Heather and Catherine would be graduating, they both felt they had laid the ground work and set good examples for future Bruin teams. Follow through. Junior guard Kathryn Krodell finds an opening in the opponent's defense. Krodell ws the leading scorer and rebounder for the varsity girls. Flying high.
