New Coach predicts fun, winning season by Nora Bremser Many of the members of the Varsity Girls Basketball team were returners for a second season. They included seniors Brenda Kobernysz, Georgeanne Soberay, and Kelly Fulmer, Coach Mike Franovich said Horizon would be their toughest opponent. To help the team do well against tough opponents, the coaches planned to obtain detailed scouting reports. Using these the team could prepare effective offensive and defensive plays. Franovich said, We're looking forward to a good season, we will have some tough opponents, but I think we will win more games than we lose. Franovich predicted the team would be strong offensively and defensively and that they would center on a running game. Although this was coach Franovich's first year as Varsity Girls Basketball Head Coach, he coached JV Boys Basketball for 8 years, assisted Coach Burke with the Varsity Girls team for one and has been the head Swim Coach for two. Alexia Sgrillo, a player on the Varsity said, The Varsity Girls Basketball team is going to be great this year and Pm looking forward to our season. The team intensity is great and we hope to have a winning season. -M v Opposite Top: Kelly Fulmer practices passing the ball to teammates.
