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.

Denise worked hard throughout the games and was mooed to the Varsity team during mid-season. 4ct(Aa«tcef The Varisty lost some key players that really helped the team out. The Varsity coach, Langston Williams, felt that there were some experienced and motivated girls he would like on Var- sity. There were a lot of changes on Var- sity, the girls en- Joyed playing and being a part of the Varsity team. Coach Williams moved Denise Franckowiak who played a wing or ball handler on J.V. Then he mooed Brooke Lee. which played post on J. V. These girls did help the Varsity over- come some rough spots.

la Allison Rogers THE HEAT IS ONEt Donna Craig tries to dribble past a Lee Volunteer as she puts the heat on her. Being a star player on the team is very hard work, and i( (aA.es much dedication. JUMPIN HIGHI Edwina Miller pushes the ball with all her might to get the ball to her teammates to start the game off to a good beginning. AlUaon Rogers S( iA «Ho te A chance of a life- time. that was the phrase that ran through Edwina ' s mind when Coach Langston Wil- liams mentioned to her that she was a prospect for the Varsity team. It was an exciting thought! She was the only sophomore on the team, and on top of that she was on the starting lineup. She played on the Freshman team the year before, and she started out on the JV team earlier in the year. She has improved tre- mendously and has the power and determina- tion needed on the Var- sity team. Ill . . . Sports
