Kelly McKay enjoys the pain of playing Varsity Basketball. Varsity Basketball A new game plan was the answer for this year’s Lady Tigers. Coach Colin Curtis took over after an unsuccessful year and coached the team to a complete turnaround. He decided that the simplest was the best. Curtis said, The girls told me the system I used was less complicated than what they were used to ... they knew what they were supposed to do.” It was back to the basics. This year's offense was developed around the Twin Towers,” made up of Senior Posts Melissa Gibson at six-feet, and Cassandra Simmons, at five-feet eleven. Junior Guards Kelly McKay and Kelli Wright provided additional strength to the Lady Tigers. Their great passing led to an average of five assists per game. Next year, the game plan will change. Junior Marcy Underwood will move from forward to post. This should lead the Lady Tigers to another successful year. This year was a sweet success as the Lady Tigers ended the season with an 18-11 record. Thanks to Coach Colin Curtis and his simple game plan,” Commerce finished proudly in third place. WAY TO GO!!!

Basketball Shooting to Success The Junior Varsity girls had a successful season, even with the transition from middle school ball to high school. The Junior Varsity team was comprised mainly of freshmen and sophomores — and they proved they were fighters. Sophomore Alice Buckley was a main contributor to the team’s enthusiasm, but she was moved up to Varsity later in the season. This put pressure on the team to find a new team leader. Well ... all re- sponded. Heather Harzke proved herself with her willingness to work and hustle. Barbara Simmons also showed great potential during the season. The most improved player during the season and off-season was Liz Longshore. Liz showed great en- thusiasm and a desire to work hard. With these great efforts, the team placed third in district, and has a very prospective future ahead. Go, Junior Lady Ti- gers!!! Front row; Heather Harzky.
