What could have been a victory was not. The young ladies played hard and worked hard. They never felt the championship was out of reach, Coach Leta Andrews said. As the game progressed, in the second quarter the Level- land coach committed a person- al foul along with one of her players. That gave Calallen a chance to catch up. Shelly Brown, junior, ap- proached the line, bounced the ball some more. The crowd, in the back- ground, silenced in their antic- ipation. Finally Shelly shot, again and again. She had made three out of three baskets so far. l was really scared, espe- cially on the first one, because I had not made a shot yet. All I thought was, shoot like it was practice. That relaxed me a lot, Shelly Brown said. The crowd roared in excite- ment. Shelly paused, looked at the basket, bounced the ball, then looked back at the basket and shot. She made the fourth shot. fCopy continues on page 1021 I O I Girls' Varsity Basketball 'YQ .. fa l ,J . X! .1

I su-v-'X' State CCopy by Lori Stewartj The last shot was really scary, because we needed it to tie the game. The pressure was really on, Shelly Brown said. The crowd went crazy. Now the score was tied. The Lady Cats seemed to have a whole new outlook on the game. They became more aggressive in their plays and movements. Shelly's free throws really made a turning point in the game, Alicia Williams said. In the last three minutes of the game Levelland made one goal for three points and a one point free throw. 70 0 That put them in a three point lead. Before the ladies had a chance to catch up the buzzer sounded again. With tears in their eyes and sadness in their hearts, the ladies left the court. I felt depressed, but I knew that even though the score showed different, we had won in many ways, Alicia Williams said. Even though the ladies did not win the state championship, it was the first time for them to go into overtime in years. X Q . vi gbgp F J l l 5 3.
