Under the direction of Coach Carl Brantley, the 1986 girls A team had an impressive record of 10-5, and the B team, which was coached by Miss Emily johnson, posted a 6-5 rec- ord. This is a chance to show the world what you can do, come on Wildcats, let's go! With this in mind the girls used their enthusiasm to conquer rival schools. The highest point of the A team's season was their battle against Fort Osage. Coach Brantley felt they were their toughest opponent and that the girls handled themselves and their actions admirably. He also felt that the strongest points of the A team were their skills in shooting and their sense of teamwork that developed as the season progressed. fwfwa MAKlNG A BREAK FOR THE BASKET, LaShawn Townsend helps split the Tiger defense.

The peak of their success as expressed by Coach johnson was com- ing back and winning six games after a losing streak that was damaging the morale of the team. She felt the morale was important since she not only taught fundamentals, but tried to teach the girls to play physically and mentally on their level. Coach johnson remarked that she enjoyed seeing the transforma- tion in the girls once they realized what they could accomplish as a team. The entire team agreed after the season's end that they enjoyed being part of the action. Amy Snell expressed her feelings by saying, l think we were a great team and next year we're going for it all. Although these comments were all true feelings, one that sparked the most emotion seemed to be when Marci Gray said, Watch out, Pleasant Lea! 69 it Els in l fi ill iq, 'll .J -,1 l 51 1 1 i l 2 2 iz 3 Ll 3 A :Ln-. fi l
