During the summer practices, the team was up and running at 6:30 in the morning. In league, the girls ran a three mile course in both extreme heat and rain.

SIHS PRESS y SJHS BASKETBALL DRIVES FOR THE HOOP! LAKEWOOD- It is not often in such a competitive sport, that one finds the motivation and enthusiasm that was evident in the 1987-88 bas- ketball team. As they were ranked tenth preseason C.I.F., the team had to live up to expectations that were met by a dedicated group of terrific sports- women and two tremendous coaches. Propelling the team through a rig- orous pre-season schedule required that the girls define their roles and incorporate these roles into their play. DeDe Mosman and Pam Jones found these roles second nature, as DeDe ex- celled by becomin the physical lead- er on the court, while Pam ossessed the positive attitude and diedication needed to inspire the team to victory! Seniors Kate Hertzo and Andrea Lo- piccolo also added Enesse as well as experience to this spirited team. Their contributions, as well as that of youn- ger players such as Lisa Fernandez, undoubtedly contributed to the team's winning season. With the demise of the Monarchs of Mater Dei tending a 57 game winning streakj, the Iester's secured the Angleles League Title ending with a season record of nine wins and one loss. Complimenting the SJHS Varsity program, the J.V. squad also per- formed to the best of its ability. The team progressed steadily throughout the season dis laying the strong drive needed to perfporm at higher levels of competition. J.V. team point guard, Barbara Paluska, ran the team's of- fense with an unshakable positive at- titude. Teammates Ana Fuentes and Bev Stigebaur also were the rnodiva- tional leaders on the court. Adding dimmension to this year's winning squad, was the new frosh team. Although youn and inexperi- enced, the members of this team had the fundamentals and basic drive that will develop into the level of excel- lence that the SJI-IS basketball team has become famous for over the past years. 5 . .3 .5 ui 'ua 4 qi.
