Girls Basketball Experience More Depth From The Bench This Season V This year's girls' basketball team had more depth from the bench, and more experience. They dis- played a lot of effort and individual improvement. The most exciting and challeng- ing game was against Judge Me- morial ending in a 1 pt. victory. Per- haps the teams most disappointing time was the game played at Kearns, with Kearns soundly defeat- ing the girls. Team meetings were held Mon- day nights for going over the of- fense and defense on paper, men- tal positions on the court, and plan- ning each week's schedule prac- tice, the game, and some time for homework and a social life Much planning went into the games this year by the team and the coach. The teams participated in many outside activities. They often went to the womens collegiate basket- ball games whenever possible, and celebrated with ice cream after- wards. They also had their Mondays team meetings at a different girls house each week, with a presenta- tion of a skit by the seniors, juniors, and sophomores. This year the girls basketball team tried to get more students to attend the games, and to recognize their sport, by having Vicky Sieverts an- nounce up-coming games the night before. They also had the cheer- leaders and songleaders come out to the games to lend support. The girls' basketball team really worked hard on improving their ba- sic skills, ball handling, passing, drib- bling, and knowing their offense and defense, and where to be on the basketball court at all times. Nancy Larsen and Jeanene Mow- er stressed strength building before practice with the girls this season. Her exercise program consisted each day of running one mile, sprints and jogs for 5 miles, 500 jump ropes, and lifting weights. This program really put the girls in good shape for this year's season.
