1982-83, Bad Year for Kittens In a sense the ’82-'83 year was a disaster-ous one for the Wildkittens. Having played in Semi-final action Division II playoff action. great things were expected from the kittens. An early season loss to rival Mercer, served warning to Wildkitten fans that '82-’83 wasn’t the year for the kittens. The Wildkittens struggled thru '8’2-’83 without being able to put a multitude of talent together. FVSC’s kittens finished the season with 14 wins and 14 loss record. Bright spot for the Wildkittens was the play of freshman guards Shoundra Crafter and Angela Thompson. In '83-'84, the Wildkittens should mold into a contender for SIAC Women crown. Returning starters Jackie Porter and Sue Grant give the kittens a solid 1-2 punch, and the wildkitten fans something to look forward to.
