( Co xc we teat Blair’s varsity girls basketball team got off to a quick start by beating a tough Fremont team and then winning their own holiday tournament. But they didn’t quite have enough in the end to win the close ones. Blair ended the season with an 8-11 record, being beaten by a traditionally tough Omaha Mercy team in the district semifinals. Injury and illness may have played a big part in the season as many of the starters were out for games. This gave some of the younger members of the team the experience and background for next year — as a result nine girls lettered in basketball. Blair was led by junior Karen Walker in both rebounding and scoring with 8.7 rebounds per game and 13.8 points. Karen was chosen all-conference, all-area, all-state honorable mention and most valuable player. Senior Lori Vogt followed in total points while being limited to play because of a knee injury. She shot an outstanding 47 percent from the field and 68 percent from the free throw line. Lori was chosen all-conference honorable mention and all-area honorable mention. Sophomore Angie Bennett, who throughout the season became more and more impressive in her playing skills, was voted most improved player. Lori Vogt grabs the ball at a home basketball game.
