90lVarsztx Basketball YOUUI and o Ex erlence Hard work leads to an inspiring season This years Varsity Basketball team was made of five sophomores, just waiting to show their talents. We are a young team, all sophomores and lack much playing experience, said Varsity player Debbie Baggett. Although a young team, they played to a 9-15 overall season and a district record of 5-10. This new team had some good games: Beat Austin High in the second round,held Johnston to 5 points, and took second place in the Lago Vista Tournament. 'K Our main strongpoints are defense and rebounding, said Debbie Baggett. Maybe the greatest strongpoint of all is that all five starting players will return next year. Plus says Coach Lester There are some good freshman coming up to Varsity status. On thing that really helps this team is concentrated teaching by the coach. FW' t. Coach Lester likes to get in and work with her players to get a better under- standing of the game. 'tlf a picture says a thousand words then a demonstration says at least two - thousandl' said players. With only five players it is easier to give one-on-one attention to each,'l said Coach Lester. The team went through long practices, wind sprints, and suicides to gain endurance for the season. The team gained alot of player experience this season and got a head start on next year, said Lester. We all have talents in certain ares, we just need to put what we know into action. said Debbie Baggett. Once they have learned the basics, they can put all their talents to use. With added experience on their side and a good coach, look out south Austin the Lady Coogs are coming.

Size and Strength Young Teams give Outstanding Effort A young Freshman team and an ex- perienced JV team both gave good ef- forts this season. The Freshman had a 10-5 overall season with a district record of 6-5. The JV team had a 4-7 season and a 4-3 district record. We have all worked hard this season and expected to do well . Both teams lived up to potentional this season and had above 500 winning seasons. The old proverb, Strength and height combined make a perfect athlete is true in this case. Many of the players on the Freshman and JV teams are close to or over 6 feet tall. Both teams combined strength, height, and many unique playing styles to achieve outstanding seasons. Those of us who are not quite as tall make up for it with extra hustle ,said Freshman player Ginger Adams. Both Freshman Coach O'Neil and JV Coach Lester believe in the fundamen- tals when teaching basketball. With the size of the Freshman team being so great, 14 players, it made teaching dif- ficult, players said. To make up for it we all practiced hard and paid close at- tention,', said freshman Jennifer Smith. All season both teams practiced hard to prepare for rugged seasons. The prac- tice paid off with good seasons for both. by Bobby Lesefka above: Maria Cantu f23J out-runs her op ponents on a fast break for a quick score Her opponents follow closely intent upon catching her.
