Wi li Lady Jackets But Fall he girls' baslsetball team made to the state playoffs for the second year in a row. The team bear East Saint John in the first round, then John McDonna High in the second. I thouhgt it was an honor. I thought the girls were capable, deter- mined, and talented, said coach Nilslsi Leader. To be one of the top eight Quad A teams on Louisiana is an honor and accomplishment. Credit has to be given to the players for their hard worls, dedi- cation, and ability to overcome all odds, said Coach Spangler. The girls made it to the regionals before being suprisingly defeated by Hahnville, 47- 41. Denham was outscored by Hahnville in the regionals and suffered a heart-breaking loss. Four of the players received honors, Sen- GirLs Basketball Playoffs -150- Sports itil E75 Ewa T1 Come Close Short ior Paige Satcher was named district most voluble player and made the first district team. Paige played excent ball. She shot well and rebounded well throughout the season, said coach Nilslsi Leader. Sopho- more Tia Meadors also made the first district team. Junior Veronica Haynes made the second district team and senior Susan Wil- liams was an honorable mention. Being in the playoffs brought the team closer. They worlsed harder and were more determined. I thinls we will have a good team next year, just as good as this year's, maybe even better, said coach Nilslsi Leader. T hey had a good press and we just weren't patient enough to get the ball down the court and run an offense. Even though it didn't end up like we planned, in the long run know we came out on top, said senior Susan Williams.
