The girls learned that to work as a team they had to push themselves, and each other. Often times without actual coaching or instructions the girls forced themselves to do hard, strenuous workouts. The girls got help from Marcy Ockert who coached them occa- sionally. The improvement of the team as the season progressed was obvious. They learned through their coach, Mike Paguia, that the scores didntt matter as long as they put every- thing they had into their playing. How many games lost and how many games won didnTt matter, for these girls it was the lessons they learned, the friends they made, and the exper- ience they shared that mattered. The MVP was Tracy Brown, MIP went to Sonja Entrekin, and Vicky Maxon. 68 Sports icky Maxon, T acey Dionne, Tracy Brown 3rd row: .
