RECREATION '1 63 GIRLS' VARSITY Champs remain undefeated History repeated Slipping by with another win, the Lady Eagles ended their season with a perfect record. For the second year in a row the varsity basket- ball team came away with twenty-five wins and no losses, sweeping another state championship. But, was their record fifty wins or fifty-one wins? During the season the squad beat a ju- nior varsity team. Coach Loren Ziegler explained, You aren't allowed to count games unless played against varsity competi- tion.

1 I RECREATION -I GIRLS' VARSITY Schedule made Ziegler helps team prepare for state After experiencing a state tournament last year, coach Loren Ziegler knew exactly how to plan the weekend schedule. Ziegler planned activities for the girls to a tee. Discipline and organization are two important keys to suc- cess, Ziegler said. Receiving a list of events for the weekend, the girls followed the times by the minute. Everything from wake up to practice times were regulated. Each day included at least one trip to Furrs' Cafeteria for what Ziegler called a balanced meal. There was no schedule for the girls after they won the championship. Every- one was allowed to swim, sleep, or socialize. Al- though the bus went back early Sunday morning, all of the girls stayed with their parents and took their time Sunday. ...,..

They are just as great now as they were then. They are just great girls-they did not give up when they had to fight hard. -Marilyn Blanding. My most thrilling mo- ment at the state tourna- ment was when we were down ten points in the championship game and we came back to win. I will have to admit that I lost some hope for a while, but they did not lose it, and that is what counts. -Treva Martin. This particular group of girls has been so successful because of four things. They had lots of hard work, dedication, good coaching, and the last reason is sim- ply all the individual talent. -Gerald McClure. I have been to the state tournament for five years in a row and the most exciting moment ever was when the girls won the championship this year. I thought they could do it, but I was really concerned. The pressure was so great and it is really hard to play 'catch up, '. - Elaine Mohler.
