Sally has scored almost 2500 points during her high school career for an average of over 20 points per contest for four years for a total scoring record unequalled by any other player. Mary Dan scored 968 markers last year for the official single season scoring record. She has scored almost 2000 points in three years. Both girls love basketball and work hard in practice sessions. Sally was the only junior forward selected for the ALL STATE team last year and should repeat this year. Mary Dan should make the team this year also. Bob Lamm, the team mascot, is shown with them standing beside the county championship trophy won by the team this year 28 O
