The team was not big, wide, ugly, or tall like some other teams, but they played big and played like basketball players. The team included seven returners from last year: Britta Kilpatrick, Tanya Poslik, Londa Andrews, Robin Faux, Michelle Johnson, Melissa Meyer and Laura Kuppich. Patty Beardon, returning from Mannheim and the two freshmen, Celena Slade, and Kristie Zim- merman finished up the roster. What made the Lions so good? They had a well- balanced team with talented players. Any one of the starters could score in double-figures which was prov- en in many games. The lions were a close team and it didn't matter who scored because all the players get satisfaction from making an assist or a good pass. Every practice, the starters had to play against one of the toughest teams in the conference - their second string. Most importantly, the ladies were very aggres- sive and full of hustle. The Lions set three records for Heidelberg High School in their game against Ramstein on January 24th. The team scored 73 points, which was the most ever scored in a regular 32 minute game. Twentyeeight of those points were scored in one quarter which made another record. Londa Andrews dished out 13 assists which was the most in one game. When asked if he would be disappointed if the team did not take first place at the tournament, Coach Sis- son replied, HNot if they played well. 76 Sports
