arsity girls b-ball team works hard to achieve season goals During the 1987 season the var- sity girls basketball team worked hard everyday in practice to achieve their goals on and off the court. Some of their goals were to make the state tournament, which to do that they would have had to finish in the top three in their divi- sion. Over the past 10 years at Corona, the girls have made it five times into the state tournament. This was another hopeful year. Coach Larry Hughes often stressed the importance of de- fense throughout the season. Ac- cording to Coach Hughes, To win a lot of games they had to play good defense . All of the girls worked hard, but according to Hughes there were some stan- dout players. They were Tessa Lo- gan, who was a senior and a four year starter. Also, Tricia Phillips and Brenda McClenden were sen- iors that had started for two years. Additional help was given by ju- nior Erika Malone and sophomore Jennifer Helfrich. This defense oriented girls bas- ketball team consisted of six sen- iors, three juniors and two sopho- mores. These 11 girls bounced through with an outstanding sea- son.

b-ball prepares for valrsity leve If the girls work hard they can accomplish anything they want , stated Coach Adolph, coach of the JV girls basketball team. According to Coach Adolph the girls often worked hard to accomplish their goals. Their goals were to learn the basic basketball skills better, to prepare for the varsity level and to have a winning season. Coach Adolph often stressed defense throughout the season to his JV team which consisted of 11 sophomores and two juniors. Ac- cording to Coach Adolph it has been a tradition at CdS for the girls basketball teams to out hustle the opponent. This hard working group of girls kept the spirit alive with bruised knees and all. A couple of girl's talents shined throughout the season. They were Laura Southern who was the team's best re- bounder and floor leader and Amy Cald- well demonstrated her shooting and ball handling skills.
