The girls varsity basketball team had a new coach this year — Dar- lene Zinn. A junior at Purdue, Dar- lene had a lot of new ideas and strategies, which she used at games and during practices. Although CC ' s gym was nearly always being used by another team or organiza- tion, the girls managed to find time to practice at least two hours every day. Usually they worked out from 7:00-9:00 p.m. if the practice went especially well or the team worked extra hard, Darlene would let them off early so they ' d have time to go out. Marilyn Spitznagel soon found out what it was like to have her shot blocked every time she went up for a basket — it happened to her at least once every game. Barb Bon- ner had problems of her own — she hurt her ankle early in the season and had to have it taped for every game and practice. The team finished the season with a 2-13 record. Even though their season was tough, they always fought hard to win. They had a great deal of spirit, too. Before the holiday tourney, the girls decorated Dar- lene ' s car, and went over to her apartment to get her up. The girls gained a friendship with Darlene that they ' ll never forget. They also became closer as a group, and learned to work together as a unit. According to the record books, they didn ' t have a winning season, but they gained a great deal from the long hours they spent together. 1: During a girls basketball game, the sopho- mores form their own block to cheer on the Knights. 2: Faces of hope and prayer are shown as Kim Reifel, Lori Klinker, Sam Gur- nick and Kathy Buntin watch their team- mates in action. 3: Struggling to pass over the outstretched arms of her opponent, Kim Reifel looks for an open teammate. 4: Arms outstretched.
