1973 Brings 5-8 Season, Fourth Place Finish To Varsity Basketball Girls Hopes that largely failed to ma¬ terialize marked the 1973 girl ' s bas¬ ketball season at Brunswick Aca¬ demy. A 1972 record of 10-4 and a second place finish, combined with the fact that only one player grad¬ uated, had fans hoping for even more. However, this was not to be. When the season began, several other players were missing as other interests took too much time to al¬ low them to play. In the first game, at Amelia, the Lady Vikings got off to a slow start, but pulled ahead in the second half to trounce the Patriots 50-31. Kenston Forest ' s visit to the BA gym left the girls with their first defeat of the season. Following this, the ever-long trip to Rock Hill pro¬ vided an 18 point victory bulge for BA. Mecklenburg proved to be an un¬ kind host as they prevailed in a foul filled game. The BA girls quickly got back on the winning track, though with a 43-32 win over Prince Edward. Following this, a visit to McKenney for a game with old nemesis Kenston Forest left the Kavaliers with their second win at the Vikings ' expense. An Amelia visit to the Vikings ' home court provided another vic¬ tory to bring the Lady Vikings back to the .500 mark. Huguenot ' s height proved too much for BA as the Rebels picked up a win on their floor. Against Rock Hill the story was different. The BA team triumphed, 34-17. Rival Meck¬ lenburg proved a stumblingblock once again as BA lost 52-36. Last year ' s visit to Prince Edward ended in a flood, but the 1973 trip was even worse for many Viking fans. The Wolverines pulled out a one point victory in the final seconds of the game, and simultaneously pulled out most of the Lady Vikings ' spirit for going into the VAAC tournament. The defeat overshadowed what was the best individual scoring perfor¬ mance by a varsity girl in 1973 as Donna Gregory dropped in 23 points. The loss to Prince Edward gave BA a 5-7 record for the season and a fourth place finish in the VAAC western division. Opening round tournament play saw the Lady Vikings travel to York for a game with their first place eastern division team. BA never seemed to get untracked as they closed out 1973 with a loss to the Confederates. Amelia . Kenston Forest Huguenot Rock Hill .
