Steadily Improving fam a This year, the 1980 Girls Varsity Basketball team had one of its best seasons, ending up third in the district with a 6-9-0 record. With the help of Irma Trent who made all district first team and Diane Trent who made all district second team, the team vastly improved from a 4-10-0 season to 6-9-0 season. ‘We played as a team most of the time and the girls worked hard all year,’’ Coach Bright said proudly. The team started off the season with winning as they de- feated Randolph Henry twice. Then came a turning point in which the Dukettes were the defeated team. The District Tournament was an exciting and an important game as the Dukettes played against Goochland. The defeat in the District game ended the 1980 season.
