pieoAwett Sti ietdcM Lasi games prove success Freshmen girls basketball team ended the season with a 4-10 record. The success came during the last part of the season according to Coach Paula Power. Gladys Cadena was an outstanding play- er. Her ability to play point guard won her more time on the court than any other play- er. ' ' Coach Power said. The most exciting game was the last game against Judson. the number one team. They lost by 27 points against Judson during the oreuious round but came oery close to beat- ing them this time. There were 7 seconds left and the team was down by four, at this time the girls went down the court and Dawn Bartlett sunk a 3 pointer. Unfortunately time ran out. but the girls felt like they had played a oery fine ball game to the end. The turning point of the season came when we finally got a win under our belt against San Marcos. The girls ' confidence was boosted and they started to win. Coach Power said. The freshman team has a lot of talent and will one day be a great asset to the Varsity team, she added. Some of the freshmen are ready to make their step towards Varsity.

This takes a lot of fast movement to be able to steal the ball and make your way down the court. ccKcte a f Thie slep up from Junior high level to high school leuel was a major step for most freshmen. In high school basketball there was a totally differ- ent environment, Lisa Gutierrez said. There are not as many plays. There were longer hours and many more skills that needed to be remembered. They had to com- bine two skills to make one — the one that made them winners. Todd Cfelenctri Todd Clelencki TEAMWORK. The girls show their togetherness by working together as one.
