Holt players wait out the first seconds of the home game against Jackson Northwest. The season was tipped off by winning the Williamston tournament and seeing Sue Kukulka and Teresa Glynn named to the All-Tournament team. As the Girls ' Varsity Basketball season progressed, injuries were directly reflected in the 13 win and 9 loss record. At one point, three starting players were out. Sophomore guard Dawn Harbach said, Our season was successful because of the team unity and the way we worked together. The season had its ups and downs, but as a whole we all learned something, said senior forward Margaret Baker. Kukulka set a new school record scoring 31 points against Grand Ledge. The season grew to a close, and the team went out with a bang, winning Districts against Grand Ledge and moved into Regional action. The season ended with a loss to Swartz Creek. Honors were earned by Glynn who received All CAC and Kukulka, honorable mention. Kukulka also received All State Journal honors. Ms. Lila Guenther concluded, I feel we were successful in our season, I enjoyed our teams defensive growth, we became a team to be respected for our defense.

ROW I: Head Coach B. Simmons, Assistant Coach B. Lamer. ROW 2: C Thomas, E. Medina, K. Holt, T. Doll, E. Trojanowicz, B. Eitnier, S. Tropf, J. Jordan, T. Pennell, D. Dodson, D. Harbach, P. Kruger. T. Lounds. NO GOl Forwards Scooter Tropf and Troy Pennell make it tough for a Waverly player to score. The season started out on a good note. With a record of five wins and one loss, six games into the season, the outlook was very opti- mistic. Things didn ' t go as well as expected and Holt ' s Varsity Bas- ketball Team ended the season with a disappointing record of seven wins and fourteen losses. One of the best games of the whole season was against Waver- ly, stated Phil Kruger. The sup- port of the fans was great and the players performed to their po- tential. The title of captain was held by seniors Scooter Tropf and Chris Thomas. They both demonstrated leadership through the tremen- dous effort they put forth to make their team successful, re- marked Coach Bobby Simmons. Holt received three transfers (senior Jeff Jordan and juniors Kevin Holt and Eric Trojanowicz) who greatly enhanced the teams playing power. I really believe that the players on the team will look back on this year as a very positive exper- ience. We all had the opportunity to improve our skills and grow as individuals. This year we played more as a team and worked harder to achieve team success, summarized Coach Simmons.
