The Best Ever This year's girls' varsity basketball team proved that they were a group to be reckoned with for the district title. We were competative in every district game, said coach Bobby Kramer. The girls never quit fighting for the win which they proved in their overtime loss to South Houston and the two point loss to Baytown Lee, the most controversial game of the season. The team worked and fought hard in every game, but what seemed to be their downfall was the fact that they had a shortage of woman power for most of the season. With one girl having to be out of state for two or three games and two other girls being ineligible to play due to low grades, the team just could not be brought together. We never had the whole team together, Kramer said. Even with ineligible players the team showed a great deal of talent and versatility. Kramer had to go to the bench in midseason but it really did not make that much dif- ference. Kathy Lane, senior, came in and showed her ability by filling the position of Linda McDonald, senior, post. Precious White, junior, also came off the bench and was able to contribute speed and agility to help the team in some tight situations. Talent was not the only thing the girls had that was impressive. They showed a great deal of spirit and good attitudes in practice as well as at the games. The team spent a lot of time helping each other prepare for the games emotionally as well as physically. On the court they were very com- plimentry of each other and con- structive criticism was accepted well. The girls grew emotionally as well as athletically and could be proud of their season.

Working To Achieve Oualifications for the girls' basketball team were a desire to play and a 2.0 grade point average. The team members could all run, jump, dribble, and shoot, but they had two things extra--the desire to play and a willingness to work together. The girls' team did not have as many people attend their games as the guys, but the people who did attend were very special because they were the parents who were very supportive. They traveled to games even in bad weather and shared their daughters' emotions at the wins and losses. According to Bobby Kramer, coach, the girls were very respon- sible and dependable young ladies. 220 Girls Varsity Basketball They showed a great deal of dependability which I find hard to see in young people, Kramer said, Many people on this year's team won honors for their outstanding achievements.
