The Lady Hounds fin- ished their basketball sea- son with an 11-10 record. The players, showing ex- ceptional team work, av- eraged 48 points a game while holding their oppo- nents to 39 points. The La- dies were led by senior guard, Kim Saltis, who av- eraged 20 points per game. The teams we played were much bigger and stronger than us. but we were quicker than them, said Shannon Saltis, cen- ter. With the size of the other teams the Lady Hounds had a hard time getting to where they did. With a good showing of basketball skills and good coaching, they achieved an impressive victory over fifth ranked East Preston. We played well as a team and was able to pull the victory through, said Brenda Wil- liams, guard. The Lady Hounds were defeated by the Trojans of St. Francis in the sec- ond game of the section- al tournament after de- feating the fighting Irish of Notre Dame. The Hounds gave both teams a run for their money by com- ing back from a 17 point deficit during the Trojan game. With just minutes to go, they pulled within five. All-Tournament team members were Kim Saltis, guard and Kristy Ross, freshman forward. Left: Handling the boll Vickie Ball doesn't let anyone get in her way as she goes for a basket.

Life with a jock is not al- ways what it's cracked up to be. It takes a lot of hard work and often it takes neglecting other things. Being a jock takes a lot of hard work and sweat, said Tom Spen- cer, junior. If you want to achieve something, no matter what it is you have to give it your all. Mike Olivio, senior, agrees. He and his team- mates practice two hours a day, six days a week. Add the extra pressure of school work and home life and it can be difficult. Mike added that he could not handle all that extra pressure without the sup- port of friends and family. Support and cheer is what keeps me going, stated Matt Dillon, senior, who added, that no mat- ter if the team was win- ning or losing, people are always cheering the play- ers on. These could be the most important words to a jock, agreed Bub Wiseman. Without them, there's no use in putting in all that extra time and work. Although jocks seem to thrive for support and cheer, they also hunger for satisfaction. You have to satisfy yourself before you can satisfy someone else, said John Hardesty. It may not be easy, but it's living.
