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.
