Girls win district title with undefeated record. Team and individual recognition make them the Best in the district UOur goal for this season was to win district and we succeeded in doing it. I am extremely proud of them, Don Derryberry, coach of the Girls Varsity Basketball team said. In winning district, the girls set records which, according to Coach Derryberry, will not be broken. Their district record was 16- O, with an overall record of 2542. They clinched the district title in a double over- time game against Sam Houston, 'Alt fthe gamei was the best game because it clinched the championship, Senior Kathy Anderson commented. The team also succeeded in winning the Birdville and Cleburne tournaments. This was the first time in the schoolls history that a girl's team has ever placed first in any tournament. The teams road to state however, was ended with a one point loss to Irving Nimitz. The top players on the team were Cap- tains Joanna Hooker and Kathy Anderson, seniors, both three year lettermen. They were leaders, there was no doubt. They were well-versed ball players. No matter where I put them offensively, at post, point or guard, they would perform and play ball, Coach Derryberry said. Another key player was Junior Susan Mclvlurtray. She had a good year though she was held back by a knee injury. She made an immeasurable contribution to the team and we could not have won without her, Coach Derryberry said. Seniors Joy Fisher and Mickie Adams both contributed to the team with quickness and good defense. The winning season brought on individual awards. Anderson and Hooker were named as the top players in the district. Hooker was named Most Valuable Player and Anderson Offensive Player of the Year. Hooker was also named to Third Team All-State. Sophomore of the Year was won by Roe. This was the third year in a row it has been awarded to Haltom. Not only were players recognized, but Coach Derryberry was named District Coach of the Year.
