Team Based on Defense econd year Girl's Varsity Basketball Coach Dave Lynch felt that the team's main strong point was defense. This team is not very tall, so we talk about stopping the other people from scoring said Lynch Other strong points of the team includ d speed and quickness which helped both scoring and in defense To go with that we have some fairly good shooters on this team stated Lynch xg Ll.ani Safford guards Michelejohnson as she puts up a shot. Qtr The team practiced about an hour and a half each day after school, with some work on Saturdays. They worked on the basic fundamentals of the game, such as passing, dribbling, and shooting. They also had ball handling and passing drills, as well as three-on- three full court scrimages. junior Paula Pyers felt that the most important aspect of basketball was a good attitude. You have to be good, have talent, and practice hard, but have attitude to put it all together, stated Pyers. You have to have respect and ad- miration for your teammates, otherwise you wouldn't have a good team. I also think it's important to have a whole team, not just one superstar , she concluded. The team goals according to Senior Kim Kelly were to have a good record, take it one game at a time, and end up in the State Finals. I feel that Coach Lynch is the best women's coach in all of Southern Arizona. He can really relate to the players and he has taught me a lot , she said. Diane Lindflott felt that in order to have a winning season you needed peo- ple with enough character to never give up. She concluded by saying team- work and talent are also essential.
