The . girl's team ccessfully breezed rough district with gh wins, except for ese 39 and 35 point ses to the Bears. wever. these losses jn't compare with e victory of the season - a 44 point win over Memorial. Sophomore Karen Belson commented with a smile, “It was a great moment and we did it together as a team! Belson also thought this season's team had improved. “Overall this season was better due to better skills as a team and with myself.” she explained. Some of the better skills include, as Junior Bizzy Deckard stated. “Hard work to prepare us for games and lots of dedication.” To get players prepared for a game, each works on their plays and avoids being overworked to save all their strength for the game. Right before each game a prayer is said to ease the players and hope for a safe game to all. Coach Schroeder decided that Bizzy Deckard earned the honor of being chosen MVP of the season because she had leadership, good ball-handling skills and outside shooting. Deckard's skills had her playing on the varsity team at times. This was one of her dislikes about this season because she didn't like being moved around so much. Coach Schroeder commented. “Some of the players have the potential for varsity spots next year.” By N. Miller. Reporter Girls J.V. Basketball 87
