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.

ft S u4€tuee R learning enpepience The JW girls basketball season had many ups and downs. They had games which they played great, and games which they didn ' t play uery well. Overall the athletes improved due to expe- rience gained throughout the season. Coach Irene Holbrook ' s main goal this sea- son was to grow closer as a team. More consistency and dedication from the players would have been a big contributing factor. Ms. Holbrook lost some girls to track, some to grades, some to the holidays, and some to injuries. These complications did not help the team ' s season outcome. Everyone could have helped each other and given a little helping hand. I think we needed more leaders or more leadership. It seemed everyone was always bossing one another around. We needed more moral sup- port from the teammates when we were go- ing through the rough times. ' ' sophomore team member Brooke Lee said. A big strong team with good leadership and experience is expected for the following year. Tonuny Moxt€y Todd CielencM REACH FOR THE SKYI With an tntim- idating look on her face.
