We started slow and built to a successful season, said Coach Steve Clough, whose Spartans completed a 12-7 season plus cap- turing the NEIAC Championship. The Spartans started off with three straight losses. Then they went on to win 13 out of their last 17 games. Sophomore Jean Berning was one of the major factors in the uprise, holding a 10 point average, which was best on the team. Her season's best was 18 points against Huntington Catholic. Bern- ing was also the best rebounder on the team. Coach Clough believed that junior Sue Weimer and sophomore Betsy Johnson were the best fastbreak guards in the state. Weim- er was a good ball handler, and along with forward Cindy Sterling, who averaged eight points per game, made the fastbreak work. Johnson was the Spartan Super Sub, coming off the bench in the NEIAC Cham- pionship to score 12 points. The team leader was senior Sally Van Fossen at forward. With an eight point aver- age, she came up with several big perfor- mances, such as 13 point effort in the NEIAC Championship. Three other outstanding seniors leaving the team this year were Casi Bromelmeier, Jane Dahlquist and Cathy Crooks. The team's strength was rebounding. Berning and Dahlquist were the major part of the team's average of 46 rebounds to help the team. The team's weakness was offense even though the team averaged 48 points per game compared to last year's 40 point aver- age. This year was a turn around for the Spar- tans, who finished the '75-76 campaign 4-11. Coach Clough sees even a better season in store for the Spartan girls next year as the team improves with age. THE BURNING SENSATION, S0phOm01'6 Jean 1 Berning, led the team in scoring with a 10 point average and 296 rebounds. TALKING IT OVER with the girls, Coach V Steve Clough plans strategy during a timeout. EXCEPTING THE CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY as the NEIAC Girls Basketball Champions, sen- ior Sally Van Fossen and junior Cindy Sterling wait with excitement. CLAIMING THE NET, senior Sally Van Fossen cuts the cords after ripping the nets in the NEIAC Championships. 3,-entail -exit' YXl'V'I W2 stifle'
