1974 Season Reveals Promising Potential, Above: Finding a break in Amelia’s defensive set up, Sonja Slaw drives down the key to the goal. Below: Straining to go higher than her opponent, Beth Bark- ley tries to tap the jump ball to a teammate. The Lady Vikings began the 1974 sea- son with higlt hopes but only three re- turning players. With an abundance of youth on the team, there were great ex- pectations for a productive year. After a long summer training season, the girls started off in fine form with a romp over Amelia. Kenston handed BA her first loss in a game filled with fouls. A major stumbling block was the fact that, of 57 foul shots attempted, less than half were made. The girls displayed their cool in a 39-38 upset over Huguenot. With three minutes to go, Cathy Frazier tied the score at 33-33, and put BA ahead with another free shot. Field goals by Terry Slaw and Donna Gregory padded the lead, and excellent defense kept the Lady Rebels from scoring at the buzzer. Following a massacre of Rock Hill, the team suffered a defeat by Mecklenburg, as fouls and lack of teamwork hurt them. The girls were back in form at Prince Edward, where fast breaks and all-out team hustle gave BA the victory. Falling apart at Amelia, the Lady Vik- ings suffered an upset loss to the Patriots, as four of the starting five players fouled out. Spirit was back in the air as BA met arch-rival Kenston Forest. Passing and good defensive hustle topped the Lady KavaJiers for the first time in five years. with the help of 34 points from Terry Slaw. After the victory over Kenston, in- juries and poor foul shooting played a decisive role in a loss to Huguenot. The long trip to Rock Hill ended in a slow game. Everyone was losing their en- thusiasm over the long season, but the girls were still easily the victors. This game was unique in that every Lady Vik- ing played and scored. In the closing minutes against confer- ence champ Mecklenburg, “Boo” Clary and Terry Slaw hit the basket for two points each, as BA opened the Lady Knights, 37-33. At home for the season’s last game, the girls played well against Prince Ed- ward, and the game ended in a 52-52 deadlock. But during the overtime, the girls got into foul trouble (four players fouled out), and lost by three heartbreak- ing points. Finishing fourth in the Western Divi- sion, the Eady Vikings traveled to South- ampton for the VAAC Tournament Play- downs. They never put things together, and surprisingly did not give South- ampton a contest. The team had hoped for a better sea- son-but with only three players graduat- ing, plus upcoming JV’s the expectations for 1975 look most encouraging.
