Frosh Girls Add to Improving Team Congratulations for losing? That is what Bonanza's JV Girls' Basketball team received after their second game against Pahrump. ln their first game they were beaten by an embar- rassing 61 points, but their second game was lost by only 15 points. After the game, the girls were congratulated by the referees, the Pah- rump coach, and Coach Carter for their vast improvement. The young team gained strength and experi- ence through a challenging season. Coach Jan Van Tuyl from Garside Junior High was pleased with their progress. Beginning with an unknown starting lineup, the team was one of the youngest in the state. lt consisted of seven freshmen, five sopho- mores, and only one junior. They played against teams of sophomores and juniors and even some seniors. In the first game against Gorman, the Gaels used their varsity squad against the team for only eight minutes, but in the second game, Gorman's varsity squad played all but the last eight minutes. Initially against Clark, the girls lost by three points, but in the second game they celebrated with a three point win. The JV girls used the formula of a controlled run and gun offense, and a full court man-to- man press for defense throughout the season. After situating the team, the starting lineup featured Priscilla Kyriakakis 1105, a center who led the team in rebounds, Karen Fish 195, a point guard who directed the plays and recovered mistakes, Pam Koopman C95, Julia Curtis C95, and Dee Williams C95 took positions in the final lineup. L Pam Koopman's high jumping style earned her an aver- age of eight points a game for the second half of the sea- son. 41 Dee Williams had a season high of 10 points in the game against Pahrump. 4 Diana Grabo blasts through the offense to pump in another two points. Diana moved from the JV's to the Var- sity at mid-season. girls jv basketball 71
