It was the first year for their new coach, Mr. Archie Flood, and his assistant, Elaine Nickerson. The season ended with the girls in fourth in the Far West League and an over-all record of 5 wins and 7 losses, a percentage of 41.6. The team was made up of 4 seniors, 5 juniors, 4 sophomores, and one freshman. Even though there were bad times, the season concluded with a spectacular win over Reedsport. Some players wrapped up their high school careers with terrific achievments included senior Cammy Altree, who made second team all-league, and senior Lori Leri, who was named honorable mention. The girls were pretty well behaved on the court, keeping personal fouls quite low. However, a few times someone got out of hand. I punched Becky Willis (a player from Brookings) just before the game ended,” reported junior guard Teresa Capps. All she did was yell 'Foul,' but the game was over. I felt a little guilty after the game, though,” she continued. With a losing season, the girls kept using their well-honed basketball skills. The opposing teams did not stand a chance when Becky Capps, Collen McCue, or Teresa Capps moved in for the rebound. However, when all else failed, the team still had their hustle.
