l Revenge was what the Girls' Varsity basketball team was looking for in their second meeting with Flio Americano this year, and revenge is what they got. After a disappointing loss away, Del Campo added home court advantage and the power of psych together to beat the Raiders, 50-40. The game handed Rio its only loss of the season besides those to conference leader, Bella Vista. Co-coaches Jo Talcott and Val Ruszovan agreed that, because of a height disadvantage, it required a Super Effort by all to win this year. The team's 3rd place standing in the C.V.C. illustrated that effort. The accomplishment of a 9-8 overall and 7- 7 league record was attributed, Coach Talcott said, to the fact that the team worked hard all year Iong. Nancy Pettit and Belinda Martineau were the co-captains of this year's Varsity and, along with Laura O'Donnell, made up the top three scorers for the season. Outstanding defensive players were Nancy Petitt, with the most rebounds, and Belinda Martineau who had the most assists. Freshman Madelyn Bradfield was the Most Improved Player of the year. Voted Most Inspirational was Belinda and the Most Valuable Player on the team was Nancy. sszzimmg sseytwm .sw WMM ' ':' ,, A wx sims is R N S s. .... ..,.

Made up, for the most part, of Freshmen, the squad steadily improved throughout the season and ended on a winning note. The last game of the year was against San Juan away. Both teams wanted a victory to finish out the 75-76 basketball season. But, the tension proved to be too much for the Spartans. At half-time the score was 31-0 in favor of the Cougars. The final score in the J.V.'s rout over San Juan, 45-26. Referring to the San Juan game, Coach Jo Talcott commented that the girls finished the season as a team. Their 6-8 league record was good for a share of third place in the CVC. Team captain, Denise Westburg, was the top offensive player this season scoring 104 points. Tops on defense was Sally Van Matre. Voted M.V.P. on J.V. was Denise Westburg and Cydney Tiff was the Most Inspirational.
