ILE? l I I 'i District Domination When the '87-88 basket- ball season was over, the teams in district 11-AAA didn't know what had hit them. For the second con- secutive year the varsity girls' basketball team posted a 20+ win season. The Cow- girls also had what many be- lieve was the longest winning streak in school history, which reached twenty games. lt was a great season, said Head Coach Laura Springer. We won all three of our tournamentsg we were very competitiveg we played team oriented ballg and I've got three of my starting five back for next year. The team placed first in district with a 14-1 district re- cord. They were eliminated, VARSITY GIRLS' BASKET- BALL: lFront Row!

The players also received many individual awards. Sophomore Jodi Burton was named the District 11-AAA most valuable player. Seniors Tawni Burton and Jennifer Jadlot were named to the dis- trict's first team. Sophomore Melanie Ferguson was named to the second team while sophomores Tracie Hunni- cutt and Lisa Monkress re- ceived honorable mentions. Coach Springer was named the district's Coach of the Year. We had a good season and we all worked well to- gether, said sophomore Lisa Monkress. This year we won district, but next year we're going all the way to state. Most cited the team's to- getherness and closeness as a team as the dominant factor in their success. We all played as a team, and by doing that we won the district title, said sophomore Melanie Ferguson. Many also felt that the play of the two seniors was a large part of the team's success. Tawni lBurtonl and l have seen the Cowgirl basketball team improve 100 percent! said senior Jennifer Jadlot. I couldn't ask anything more from the sophomores this year. Knowing Tawni and I left as district champs makes me proud to be a Cowgirl. Copy and design by Alem Boukadoum Sports Co ed

Thinning Ranks It was the same old story. Again, there were not enough girls for both a freshman and a JV team in girls' basketball. With a team composed of one junior, one sophomore, and nine freshmen, the Cow- girls ended up winning only a few games. It was very hard playing with just a few girls because you aren't used to most of the people you play with, 102 sports said sophomore Jennifer Or- man. They are always being moved up from the freshman team, and you don't get to practice much with them. Even though the JV lost many games, they managed to pull together and squeeze out a few wins. I don't remember who we were playing, but we were be- hind and came back and won by two points, said fresh- man Stacey White, vaguely remembering one of the few highlights of the season. The JV's record may not have reflected many accom- plishments, but most players felt that they really learned a lot from their experiences. I learned this year that you have to play as a team to win, said freshman Sara Freeman. i firms, N I .sg ar mi- at ..- .RQ X. X M9 gms S mira Q Q- li E Wi!
