GIRLS B BASKETBALL This year the B Team was coached by Paul Ekern from SDSU. The B Team was inexperienced be- cause the B Team members last year had moved to the A team. The team got along well, which helped them establish great teamwork. The team earned every game that they won. They had drive, enthusi- asm, and fun even if they did lose. There was vast improvement since the beginning of the season. By the end of the season, they were going strong. Back row: Teresa Moore. Irene Gebhart, Joan Gebhart. Amy Smallfield, Tami Zink, JoAnn Broderson. Front row: Brenda Buus, Lori Kruger, Jeanette Gebhart, Jennifer Bauer, Jody DeZeeuw, and Kim Gerry. Cheerleaders were: Paula Hansen, Patsy Kramer, Tiana Adams. Kristi Anderson and Amy Swanson 10

With the only senior being the only returning starter, it was a year to gain experience for the team. The girls showed a great deal of improvement and character as the season progressed. Although their record was very competitive in most games, it was our lack of experience late in the game that allowed many teams to win close games with us. The year provided valuable experiences will help shape the teams for the follow- ing years. The team showed qualities of leadership, dedication, and determina- tion by sticking together and working hard in spite of the losses they endured. by Coach DeBoer 9 Back row: Erin Sullivan, middle row: Lynnette Vaske.

This season was a very educational and fun experience for the seventh and eighth grade girls. We had a shortage of eighth graders on the team, but it was overshadowed by our abundance of enthusiasm. The girls played with extreme dedication and desire. We all gained lots of valuable experience and saw the areas we need to work to improve. This was a great group of athletes to work with. They have a great desire to work hard and to be their best. I think they have a very bright future ahead of them. 11
