The Elkton girls' basketball team had a 15-6 season record. They finished third in the EDC tourney for the third straight year. The girls had a fun and very successful season. They were led by four senior starters - Sue Kramer, Deb Stein, Sue Thielen, and Shelley Twamley. The Elks were a very exper- ienced team this season with this many seniors. The girls worked very hard through- out the season and their performance was much better by the end of the year. They were able to win their last eight regular season games. The girls also played good basketball in the District Tournament, but were beaten by Deubrook and Egan in close games. These girls can be proud of the season they had. They worked very hard and played competitively in ev- ery game. We were successful because we learned to work for a common cause, sacrifice personal goals for the good of the team, accept defeat with pride in our effort, and to win graciously. Be- cause we gained this invaluable knowledge about ourselves and others we have experienced great success.

JR. HIGH GIRLS BASKETBALL The junior high teams had a learning season. We had a shortage on numbers be- cause the seventh grade class was so small. This did pro- vide an opportunity for ev- eryone to get a lot of playing time. Although we lost more games than we won, 1 feel the girls gained a lot from the season. We developed some team skills and im- proved on our individual skills throughout the year. We feel the season was suc- cessful in many ways. The overall record for the 7th grade was 5-11, and the 8th grade was 4-6.
