Building on the basics Basketball is a chal- lenge to me, I like com- peting, said sophomore Kelly Ware. Why do they go through the two hour practices and the sore muscles? Because I like repre- senting my school and winning for it, said Twyla Edwards. Basketball is my life, responded center, Bobbie Jo McCloy. Guard Kim Ross agreed and added, I love basketball. To me it's well worth the effort. I just love to play. This year we learned a lot and gained playing time. Next year the team will be tough. I only wish I was a part of it, said sen- ior Sylvia Upton. Cindy Trimble, senior, felt posi- tive about next season for her teammates. They now know what it's like to win and they know it feels a lot better than losing. First year head coach, Mike Carey, looked back on the season: We had to teach the basics and once we learned them, we started to play better. I'm sure we will be ready to go in September.

Rebuilding a skyscraper The 1981 Girls' basket- ball season began a new era in the program. Gone were the 17-1 and 20-1 seasons. In came the 2-17 season. Gone were the experienced all- staters. In was a new crop of young inexperienced players and a new coach, hopeful of a winning sea- son. Students were not used to seeing the team lose or to have so many new play- ers. However, with these changes came some bright spots that will lead to a new foundation. Leading the way in the attack were senior Cindy Trimble and sophomore Bobbie Jo McCloy, both averaging eight points per game. Guards Kim Ross and Twyla Edwards, aver- aging five and six points, learned while playing against some fine guards. Vickie Wiseman now knows what it is like to go up for a rebound. Sylvia Upton provided the steady play for the team. Ready to fill the gap were players: Linda Knotts, Lisa Vincent, Kim Turnbull, Kelly Ware, Julie Vangilder, and Cheryl Palmer. These players know what they have to do next year. Drawing the foul from a Coalton de- fender was Cindy Trimble. Center: Cindy Trimble made a sound bounce pass to Bobbie Jo McCloy. The fans and cheerleaders watch as the team tried to make a comeback. 17
