The Lady T-Birds . . . The Girls' Varsity basketball team improved their playing skills as well as their season record from last year thanks to the com- bined efforts of both coaches and players. This year's team was pretty young and inexperienced and most of the season was spent learning plays and building up for next year. I've enjoyed coaching this year's team- they have improved quite a bit, says Coach Ed Bragg. Bragg, who volunteered his time at practices and games, was new to West basketball. As coaches we've learned what to expect and the players learned to play better. Led by senior captains Jennifer Brown and Jill Hurt, the Lady T-Birds suffered some dis- appointing losses against rivals Bellevue East and Papillion. They were, however, able to beat quite a few good teams thanks to the scoring potential of junior forwards Jenny McNichols, Desiree Evans and Natalie An- derson. Most of the varsity team consisted of soph- omores and new students, so this was the first time that the girls had played together as a team. lt took a while for everyone to get used to how the other played, but towards the end of the season we began to play as a team, said Brown.
