Churchill game tests character Of the twenty eight total ball games we played, the point spread in sixteen of them was five points or less, said Head Coach Marilyn Am- mon as the girls basketball season came to an end. This season was certainly ex- citing, because practically all of our games were thirty-two minutes of tough, physical battles, until the buzzer sounded, Coach Ammon said. Even though the girls showed desire and determination, they could not pull out a better record than eleven wins and seventeen losses. Coach Ammon added, They seemed eager to improve and im- provethey did! ln the first round of District play they defeated only Churchill forty to thirty-five. This was a true test of character said Coach Ammon. They came back in the second round and won four out of eight games, defeating Churchill, Sequin, Clemens A-mr! :Inq F Alter lighting tor possession ofthe ball, Patti Hahn iumps to tip the ball to a teammate. and Madison. The only weakness of our team to their disadvantages was the obvious lack of experience. The girls started the season with only two returning lettermen, Diana Stumberg and Terry Saunders. By the end of the season the girls had developed into an experienced ball club - who learned how to win - and are planning to do so next year! concluded Coach Ammon.
