Bowie, and Burleson, a 28-27 victory over Richland became the one highlight for the girls' junior varsity roundballers. Without fundamental knowledge of shooting, dribbling, passing, the team con- sisting of sophomores Glenda Frady, Mickie Adams, joy Fisher, Sondi Crawford, Dee Dee Griggers, Sue McDade, Kim Parton and Cindy Stegall suffered a discouraging 1- 11 district record, Even though the win-loss record was discouraging, the girls' team work was very encouraging, Coach Authur Tribble commented. Defense improved throughout the season and became the better part of the JV round- ballers game. To have a strong team next year, everyone that played this year needs to play again. From the looks of the junior high players coming up, next year's season looks encouraging. ' A, JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL 1win, 11 losses HHS OPP 15. 26 Lamar 41.

K Bending into shape 'We set out to be u tough competitor' by Christy Angle By Christy Angle District was a series of stepping stones to improvement for the girls basketball team. 'l'he roundballers season was full oflclose, in- tense. up and down competition, After beginning the season with two disappointing losses to Lamar and Sam llouston the team came together against Richland to chalk up their first district win, Defeating Richland instilled in the team a sense of confidence to build on as they closed district with a 5-7 record. A big step for the team was merging the boys and girls money making projects. and joining girls with the boys basketball team booster program. Clip Off' Clubl This allowa ed recognition and a little prestige that had been lacking in past teams. Candles. candy. and candy dishes were fund raising items that made possible a basketball banquet and video machine. Video taping the games helps me con- siderably. It helps me see adjustments the players need on the floor. Coach Der- ryberry explained, Derryberry set his goals for the team one step at a time. lfirst. beat Richland. Second. win the second half' of season. As l watched the team improve. I had confidence that they could win it. I was disappointed when we didnt play to our potential. Derryberry said. Having only seven players, the team con- fronted constant pressure nor to foul-out. Bowie and Arlington were two games plagued with foul trouble. Though there were negative points to having a small team. one positive point was the teams unity. The players progressed all together, They are doing more things defensively and offen- sively, and molding into a class A team. District had a special ending for Carol Porter.
