Gi'rIs' Team Faces STiffCoMpEm;oN Coach Harper plans new team strategy. Becky reaches high to secure a tip in. Everyone has their eye on an important tip. Lynette goes for two points. The girls' team started off the 76-77 season on the right foot, winning their first two games. They defeated Scandia 41 to 40 and pounced Sacred Heart 46 to 20. After the second game the Trojans ran into bad hick, losing the rest of their games. The girls showed that they could put the ball through the hoop, scoring up to 46 points in a game, but it just wasn't enough. The Trojans had three girls average in double figures; Becky Farmet l3.3, Holly Hartman-12.5, and Lynette Terry-11.2. They were followed by Chris Peterson-5.7, Deann Cox-1.6, Kathy Drake-1.2, Brenda Poulton-.8, Tammy Larsen--.6, Pat Jenkins-.08, and Mary Lynn Hodgson-.04. The girls will be strong next year, losing no players. Coaching the team was Head Coach Paula Harper and Assistant Chuck Hessenflow. ,
