After their outstanding first half of the season, it seemed like the Lady Raiders couldn ' t go anywhere but up. For a few unpleasant days, though, they were ground- ed by a heartbreaking overtime loss to Lanier, 46-47, but found out one week later that the Vikings had to forfeit their win because of an ineligible player. Five out of their last six games were lop- sided victories with an average 28-point win. The one game to which those statistics didn ' t apply was the battle for second-half championship against Johnston which, though action-packed, handed Reagan a 58-67 loss. The Lady Raiders, who were rated twelfth in state, ended their season with 25-7, the best overall record in the district, and finished with the best district record of 14-2. Reagan ' s lone first-half loss was to LBJ ( who also had a record of 7- 1 , but end- ed up being champs because they defeated Reagan). The Lady Raiders were in the same situation with Johnston for the second-half title. We ' re unhappy with the playoff rules. Even though we had a better district record than anyone, we ' re not in the finals, commented Julie Nelson. Our main objective was constant im- provement, and I feel like we did just that. The girls were intelligent — they understood the strategies. We didn ' t have the height, but we had quickness and good teamwork, said Coach Muddy Moxley of her team. Beth Young and Deborah Wilborn were named to the All-District team, and Coach Moxley was chosen co-coach-of-the-year with the LBJ coach. Sylvia Neal, Nelson, and Wilborn were the team captains.
