ltl ffm u bouncing S TGV If lnekperienced and unrehearsed the girls varsity basketball squad opened their first season with a 37-36 victory over the Spring Branch Bears. They maintained their lead and dropped only once in a close game against Westchester Wildcats to wind up their season 6- I. Unfortunately the freshman team also held the starting gamels title and finished the season OV7. Although both teams had little experience or practice their enthusiasm and close scores drew larger crowds than the boys basketball team contests. lt was a lot of everything: Our defense was good. but we also had a lot of girls who could dribble and shoot H senior Caryn Perkins said. The freshman team played several hard fought games but were hampered by their lack of team unity thus. they never managed a win. Most of the girls had never played before. freshman Kim Ehrlund said. 'land we had to learn to work together. towards the end our offense started really shaping up. Because of the districts late start into the all feminine sport and unofficial rules. the top squad, made up of sophomores Paula Ng. Felecia l-toneycutt. Kelly Thomas. Rhonda Conley. Terri Oates. Karen Burns. iuniors Ann Greason, Helen Kim. Micky Mathis. Felecia Farringer. and seniors Patti Alsmeyer, Caryn Perkins. Lezlie Noble. Christina Martinez. was dubbed a non- honors team. Yet. playing Hiust for the fun of it provided players like Perkins with a personally rewarding and physically great season. We had fun practicing for the games, we had fun at the games. and we had fun after the games . . .And the best part of the season was that we all became really good friends. Perkins said. At 5'l l Mickey Mathis was the non-honors teamls tallest player. She was also one of their highest scorers along with Caryn Perkins. Meanwhile. Ehrlund added points to the scoreboard and needed height to the freshman team roster. consisting of Ehrlund. Carrie Flanagan. Teresa Overby. Karen Fotenot, Janet Phillips.
