I' 'X 1' T , it 'QW Ilfffflll 38 ii lffl I Lad Generals Strive for Improvement The girls' varsity basketball team began the season knowing this was a rebuilding year. Graduation had claimed their prized players and lack of experience seemed to point to a depressing season for Lady General fans. Yet, the team played with emo- tion and hustle as they achieved a 6-23 season record and a 3-7 record in district. The team was faced with many setbacks before the season started. The destruction of the gym forced them to practice at any available spot. The parking lot and pool area became familiar practice spots until gym repair was completed. Once the season was underway Coach Kitty Dillion was faced with player setbacks. Early in the season one of Coach Dillion's top players, Kim Gibson, broke her hand and was lost for the year. Halfway through district competition Renee Tillmond moved out of state. Still the tearr gave 100 percent on the floor, as they kept up their hopes for nex year's dream. This team will be awesome nex year, exclaimed Benita Hill. Tearr work will be the key. Coach Dillon agreed. The ex perience should put MacArthur nea the top in the district in next year's rankings. dpsby
