Varsity Girls' Basketball STATE CHAMP AGAI !! The defending state champion Marshall Minutemaids faced a big challenge in the 1981-82 Girls' Bas- ketball season. With only three re- turning lettermen, the team started the year with young enthusaism and determined spirit. Led by Senior Co-Captains Jenifer Freeman and Kathleen Sherman, the M-Maids answered the challenge with li victories out of the first 12 games. Coach Ken Trapp said of the team's performance, Having the opportunity to coach athletes who have the desire to excel is a true pleasure. This drive and team play earned the girls a second place state playoff berth with their only two season losses to Jackson. The Maids beat Sunset, 49-32, to advance into the AAA state tournament in the Salem Armory. Entering the tourney with an 18-3 record, the defending champs faded into the shadows of such competi- tion as number one-ranked St. Mary's and undefeated Churchill. But in the first round, Marshall rolled over Oregon City, 56-46, and then ended Churchill's season with a 46-34 victory. D'Ann Cecchini, the team's most inspirational player, commented on the M-Maids' success, We played as a team in the tournament and I think we improved with every game. This success continued in the semi-finals with Jenifer Free- man, who by averaging 28.4 points in league play, set a new state re- cord of 34 points in a game to lead the Minute maids to an awesome 65- 37 win over Barlow. Marshall had made it. The cham- pionship game. Yet they were faced with the biggest challenge of the season-to beat Jackson. The crowds were rowdy, the play- ers were aggressive, and the M- Maids, who had been down at half- time, made a third quarter rally and held on to capture the victory-their second consecutive state champion- ship. 24 Varsity Girls' Basketball

JV 0 Frosh Girls' Basketball w coaches add spark to year The JV M-Maids finished the sea- son as undefeated league champs. JV Coach Don Francin was satisfied with his team's performance and felt that the girls really worked hard to improve their game. He also noted experience as a key contributing factor during the season. Juniors Lorri Shepherd, Allison Hortsch, and Tina Johnson were three team members with two years of experience behind them. This ex- perience exhibited itself during games in the form of aggressiveness and decisiveness. ln certain situa- tions during a tough game, it helps a great deal to know which kind of play will work best, explained Hortsch. All of the JV girls played together consistently, and their efforts paid off as they posted a season record of 18 wins and 2 losses. The defeats, pre-season games against Lake Os- wego and Evergreen, were lost by a total of three points. Francin, who had coached basket- ball before during his career at Mar- shall, commented, lt's been a long time since I've had the chance to coach JV girls. This year has been very rewarding for me. Team .meme bers appreciated his return. Coach Francin really worked with us on an individual basis, noted Sophomore Carol Carbus. Linder the direction of another new coach, graduate Chris Ritsf Chard, the Freshmen Girls' Basket- ball team enjoyed their first year of high school play. I liked our coach because he was enthusiastic and taught us basic skills, and we had fun at the same time, explained Terry Palmer. The team concentrated on the theory of good offensive strategy and consistently strong defense. Working together and learning the game of basketball helped them more in the long run than winning, Ritschard remarked. We kept up the tradition of great girl's basketball at Marshall by prov- ing ourselves this year. The girls really worked for their wins and had pride in their sport. They were fun to coach, Francin concluded. ...t .wma -so ., .. who also Health. Gay Woig defense. The team JV ' Frosh Girls Basketball
