Gail was hampered by injuries d u r i ng much of the season. Girls Basketball The Eaglettes won six games while dropping 12, but showed constant improve- ment over the season. Claudette Hettwer was the only veteran forward returning this year, so the Eaglettes lacked experience in the front court. The guard court made up of JanethSindt, Carol Hargens, Dixie McCaw, Wanda Reyman, and Janice Shever held the opponents to a 44.1 game average for the season. All of the starters except Claudette Hettwer will return next year. The Eagl- ettes should be much improved in as much as they have a year's experience behind them. Judy Grfoepper led the scoring this year followed by Claudette Hettwer and Gail Brosamle. Loretta Ehlers and Dixie Whyte were capable replacements for the starting forwards. E.. -5
