JV Girls Basketball The season for the JV Girls was a very exciting one. Even though the girls didn’t finish the season with a winning re- cord, they gained great exper- ience and showed a lot of en- thusiasm. The girls never gave up during a tough game, but in- stead they fought with a great deal of desire. As the season progressed, the team members who showed the greatest potential were playing on the varsity squad. While this may have detracted from the JV program, it added depth to the Varsity team and was a bo- nus when the Lady Kats were hurt by illness or foul trouble.

The team beat their arch rival Thatcher two out of three meetings. They were also scheduled against the Animas varsity squad and made a re- spectable showing there. The highlight of the year was scoring 100 points against an inexperienced Clifton ball club. Composed of 9 juniors and 2 sophomores, the JV team was coached by Max Lunt. In action shown here 1) one of Lonnie’s classic jumps; 2) Charlie and Cody are set on defense; 3) Brad makes an easy shot; 4) Paul goes up for a basket. 20 Duncan Opponent 38 Pima 46 61 Lordsburg 56 55 Animas 34 58 Morenci 66 58 Lordsburg 38 68 Animas (v) 86 45 Morenci 43 49 Pima 63 63 Benson 36 100 Clifton 28 70 Valley Union 33 49 Thatcher 45 52 Baboquivari 29 73 Tombstone 59 53 Thatcher 47 74 Clifton 29 51 Thatcher 57 43 Thatcher 50

Freshman squad members included, Row 1- Micah Sweany, Shawn Laney, Ricardo Gonzales, Scott Williams; Row 2- Don- ald Crockett, Rick Weathers, Pat Sexton, Curtis Peeler, Robbie Elmer and Coach Kilmartin. Freshman Squad The highlight of the young freshman basketball season was their win against Thatcher late in the season. Although the team lacked depth, they showed a lot of hustle and spirit. The team came very close to winning some very tough games against teams such as Class A Morenci and Lordsburg and the Animas JV squad. Under the leadership of Coach Kilmar- tin, these young players got in a lot of playing time and show promise for the Wildkat teams in the future.
