JV finishes season strong Junior Varsity ended their season with 18 wins and seven losses. The JV team had such players as Kelly Armbrustcr, Sherre Barrett, Donna Boyne, MaryKay Chambers, Deborah Collier, and Tammy Collier. Also on the team were Diane Dang, Lisa Kruse, Kay Mart ., Laurie McCoy, Teri Packard, Wendi Pena, Carolyn Slay, and Michelle Sumlcr. “I think we had a good season this year. We were strong and had a lot of optimism ’ commented Wendi Pena. Next season will most likely be a good season for Varsity, since some of the Varsity players will be returning and most of the JV members will move up. “With some of the strong Varsity players returning and hopefully those of us on Junior Varsity will be moved up, we should be a good team,’’ said Going up for a block is Michelle Sumlcr.

The record for this talented team speaks for itself. Everyone knows it takes the effort of the whole team to do well, but “it also takes someone who is tough, but understanding and easy to relate to . . . such as coach Glaser,” said Bizzy Deckard. by Rulhanne Mullins Carolyn Slay smiles after a good shot.

Varsity falls short After coming off a 25-9 season (11-5 in District), the Varsity Boys Basketball Team kept up the winning tradition. Bringing home a 22-10 record is not bad, but it was only good enough for a 3rd place finish in District. According to Varsity Coach Jerrel Hartfiel, “Winning the District was our number one goal. This year we had a lot of good high points.” How could a coach go wrong with outstanding Senior players like Karl Yust - 1st Team All District, Jay Stricklcn - 2nd Team All District, Oscar Moreno - Honorable Mention All District, and Robert Middaugh - Honorable Mention All District. Says Coach Hartfiel, “Our Seniors showed great leadership the entire year. Elsik High School has great students to work with.” When asked if he could compare this year’s team with last year’s, Coach Hartfiel replied, “It’s hard to compare teams. Both teams’ strength was team play. And both teams had great Senior players!” Breaking away, Maurice Brown. Photo by C. Duplain
