Finally, a real basketball team, and with a real coach. Joe Santa led the crusade for respectability and the Cavaliers ended the season playing for the Midland Athletic Conference title. No more run- ning endless laps or going winless. Students actually began to show some support for the team, even showing up for games. The team never failed to delight the fans. Led by Shawn Brooks, high scorer, the team was helped by seniors T. Casaburo, Sean Eviston, Orfej Nadjeski, and John Paflas. The fans were delighted by the excellent season. A last refer- ence must be made to the UNLV-Air Gumby-rim- hugging Banana Slugs, everyone ' s favorite cheering section. ' ».

GIRLS BASKETBALL It had been such a long season, filled with pain, sweat, and hard work. But was it without result? Did any of those courageous young women feel as if they came out of this ' 86- ' 87 basketball season without a single reward? I wonder . . . It had begun with a short gathering in the gym dur- ing lunch. Many veteran Cavaliers were there, as well as one or two new faces. Soon after, practices began, hard practices . . . everyone pulled a muscle or two or at least ached for the first two weeks. One practice, after everyone failed to make a free throw, we ran eleven, may even twelve, sprints IN A ROW! We made it through though, somehow. Then the games began. The first few were hard, but we did our best and played tough. We may have lost, but we ' re cuter than you are! became our motto. Finally, we found ourselves pitted against the dreaded Jennifer Byers, Laura Cross, Jennifer Dawes, Julie Dawes, Heather Debbie Parrott, Suzanne Summers. Marion Bennet for our last game. We played like ladies, they played like mud wrestlers. Sacrificing life and limb to save ourselves and our pride, several brave Cavalettes fouled out. Good job guys! The ' 86 ' 87 basketball season was filled with hard work, determination, sweat, and near victories but, to those involved, it was also something a little more. For our three graduating seniors, Debbie Parrott, Kara Snyder, and Heather Fleck, it was the last season. We salute these three hard-working players — Debbie for her 4 years of dedication to the team, Kara for her first and last season, and Heather for demonstrating what a truly brutal position foi-ward can be. We, as a team, will truly miss you. WATCH OUT basketball fans for the ' 87- ' 88 Lady Cavalier basketball season — we may surprise you! Fleck, Allison Gray, Bridgit Ginty, Anne Hayhurst, Erin Loubier, Allison Gra ' and Debbie Parrott take charge!
