For most of this varsity team that was their last chance, but Coach Kyle hopes that the remaining varsity players as well as new- comers to the team will prove as deter- mined as these fine players were. The young members of the varsity team also contribut- ed to the teams' success, by being there when they were needed. They knew that as they intently watched those players out there that next year it would be all up to them and they would be those players con- trolling the game. The varsity team did in- deed have a memorable season. They prac- ticed hard during the summer and they pushed themselves in practice. They were a team. They won as a team and they lost as a team. They were all for one and one for all and they came very dose to being number one. And as for Coach Kyle, all of the mem- bers of the Lady Mt. Lions respected him and believed him, just as he respected and believed in them. Driving toward her goal. Tammy Maxwell succeeds in showing the Falcon's how it's done. OH NO!

Building for next years varsity The Tucker County JV girls finished the season with a winning record of nine and six. They played a tough schedule but proved that they could compete with some of the best. The vast majority of the JV squad consisted of Freshmen and Sophmores, thus creating a more experienced team for the future. They tacked in experience and also in size, however, they made up for it in skill, speed, and determination. An important quality they posessed was that they never let up, whether they were ahead by twenty, or down by twenty, they kept right on hustling until the final second ticked off and the ending buzzer sounded. Although the team was relatively young, they were very advanced in their athletic abilities, plus there is ample talent returning for next year's JV team, as well as many hopefuls for next year's Varsity line- up. These are just the kind of athletes it takes to build a good team. They knew the meaning of hard work, having practiced against the Varsity team all season. They realized what it took to succeed, and they were willing to give an all out effort to do just that. E. Preston 48-20 Hampshire Co. 40-34 Pocahontas Co. 51-39 C.
