Freshmen Win District The freshman team finished an outstanding season placing first in district along with Hastings. Sharing the title as co-champs is a definite im- provement over last year's standings. The key to their improvement was stated by Coach Bodine, We spent more time on conditioning and emphasizing defense. Each of the girls has improved in- dividually. Coach Bodine felt that Karen Belson was the most outstanding player by im- proving her shooting, free throws, and hustling. The team experienced many highlights during the season. Coach Bodine stated that the most outstanding game was against Spring Branch. With seconds left, Karen Belson shot from 15 feet out and made two points to win the game. Most of the girls plan on playing basketball next year, which will make stronger teams in the future, jimi Leigh Knous is excited about next year and says, I love basketball and it is very rewarding. Coach Bodine adds, If these girls continue to improve, they will be winners all through their high school years. Susan Lawrence and Elaine Torres attempt to trap their Stratford opponen Photo by A.
