SPECTHCULHR SEHSON FOR SUPER SENIORS USO close, and yet so far could de- scribe the 1981-82 girls' basketball team, who ended their season with a history- breaking record of 21-6. A lot of history-breaking events highlighted the season. Many team and individual honors were achieved. The greatest accomplishment was making it to the semi-finals of the Regional Tour- nament. All hopes of going to the State Tournament were abolished, however, as the Panthers were defeated by Ohio County, 54-47. To reach the Regional Tournament, the Panthers had to make it to the finals of the District Tournament, a task which had never been accomplished in the past. They were runners-up, losing to Apollo, 46-36. The tournaments didn't come out as well as expected, but regular season play did. The Panthers captured the Big 8 title going undefeated to all eight teams. Coach lim Duke was named Coach of the Year in the Big 8 and Kyna Carlton led the All-Big 8 team. Coach Duke was also named Coach of the Year in the All-City-County poll. The Panthers defeated the three area schools and were named City-County champs. Diana Chalfant, Chris Barron, and Kyna Carlton were named to the All-District team. Ms. Carlton was the only player to be named to the All-Re- gion team, she also obtained an All-State Honorable Mention for the second year Below, Chris Barron attempts to steal the ball from Breck County. -.-v-v Diana Chalfant Kyna Carlton f A lll P ei X ' 'G' I e Vx if im ' 2- melanie Brown Stacey mobley 64!Basketball Ct, QQ: I i1 Hn rdin 'Vi' g
