Sarah Jones. Duchesses — Consolation Champs of Dixon’s Christmas Tourney The Dixon Girls’ Basketball team en- joyed the limelight during their 14-13 season, and they deserved it. After school, before school, and on Saturdays they turn- ed their athletic skills, sacrificing their time and energy. Leslie Spencer returned to coach the varsity girls' team for the second year. There were some brilliant moments: when senior Lisa Adams gave the Duchesses a 52-51 victory over Sterling in the Dixon Holiday Tournament; and the Thursday night when Sherri Dixon came through with 10 points, including the game winning shot to beat Rochelle 38-36. Then there was the consolation game of the Dix- on Tournament when Lisa sank 2 free throws with 7 seconds to go to give the Duchesses a 52-51 victory over Sterling. Defense was the key for the 52-36 victory. The Duchesses rattled off a 78-56 victory over Rochelle in the 1st round of the Class AA Regional against Rochelle, but lost to arch rival Sterling by 54-51 in the finals. Lisa and Justine Odenthal were the 2 seniors who returned. Sophomores Juli and Jody Yount moved up to play great varsity ball. The new face on the team was Jill Messamore. In game after game Lisa Adams was high scorer. SCOREBOARD Mt.
