The Joy of a Successful Year This year’s Varsity Girls’ Basketball team was on one. The girls started the season with a loss but bounced back to win the next two games. They practiced many hours to give their best performance on the court. Head coach Mary Bright also worked hard with the team. Together their ef- forts ended in a 14-6 record for the Varsi- ty team. They had a few problems with the defense but offensively they were great. They had enough spirit and team pride to keep them going. They mentally as well as physically psyched up. As a result of their efforts, the team made it to the district tournament. Throughout the season there were sev- eral players who performed well. Among those were Diane Trent and Irma Trent who were the season’s high scorers. They were also the leading rebounders for the team. This year’s team had the best re- cord out of many of the girls’ teams that Cumberland had. They ended the season third in the district. 1. At the foul line, Irma Trent shoots the ball. 2.

Experienced The Junior Varsity Girls’ Basketball Team had ‘a good year.’ They practiced hard and through the direction of Miss Kempy Tillerson they had a relatively successful sea- son. They won four out of seven of their games. Many schools did not have a junior varsity squad this year — only a varsity team; there- fore they did not have as many teams to play as usual. Often they accompanied the Varsity players, trying to benefit from watching the older players play. They used the knowledge they gained through these trips to help them in their efforts on the floor. Some of the girls will be back next year on the Varsity squad and this year’s experience will prove to be helpful. q Dui 4 1D 12 1.
