Star shooting When the '80 girls' basketball season got underway, there were a lot of high hopes and expectations for the experienced team. These hopes and expectations came true for the Flemington fans as they watched their team com- pile an undefeated 18-0 record, while coasting to most of their victories. The Greyhoundettes won their first three games in an easy fash- ion, by defeating Rowlesburg, R- W and Notre Dame. In these first three games the character of the team was shown. Against Rowlesburg, they showed their capability of blowing a team off the court. In the R-W game, they got in early foul trou- ble, only to pull it all together for the win. The victory over Notre Dame showed their talent. The 'Houndettes did not play well but came away with a 65-37 victory. In the fourth game, the girls proved that they could keep their composure on the road. They de- feated Doddridge County in what was their closest game of the year, 44,-42. After that, The 'Houn- dettes breezed through their schedule, winning the remaining 14 games by 15 points or more.

Sports - star studded The winning tradition of bas- ketball has returned to the Grey- hounds. Both varsity teams com- pleted a star-studded season with spectacular records. However the important part of the story is that both teams are coached by the same man, Greg Zimmerman. Flemington is not the only small school in the state, but chances are not too many others have the same coach for both varsity teams. Coach Zimmerman has performed this duty for the past two seasons. This season he has a combined boys and girls record of 37-5. Coach Zimmerman has been the main ingredient in the turn-around of Flemington athletics. Congratu - lations to the Greyhoundettes, the Greyhounds and their star-stud- ded coach for a terrific season.
