1423 LO 1358 The Jones Junior College Lady Bobcats had a tough season with a 6-14 record, but the wom- en's season was not without its share of excite- ment. The Lady Cats were outscored for the season only 1,423 to 1,358 which called for many close ballgames during the season. As a matter of fact, the Lady Bobcats could have had a winning sea- son if the last five minutes of a few games had come out differently. At times the Jones women displayed a high cal- ibre of play. There was the time during the year when the Lady Cats exploded for 105 points against the CO-Lin team that had beaten Jones earlier. The Lady Cats also lost games they should have won, as to Pearl River on Jones' home court. Jones played south division powerhouse Gulf Coast three close games, losing to Gulf Coast at Gulf Coast, but the Lady Cats played Gulf Coast into overtime here in Ellisville and in the south division tournament the Lady Cats lost to Gulf Coast by two points, 5856. Although Jones started the season with 11 players, after Christmas they were down to 8 players, and because of injuries, Jones played a few games with six players. Surely the limited bench of Coach Richard Rivers affected his team place. Jones finished the season with eight players which included Karen Myrick, Nlary Joyce How- ard, Karen Cooley, Lisa Fleming, Sharon Barnes, Vickie McDonald, Candis Trigg, and Madelyn Folkes. Both Nlyrick and McDonald finished the season in the top 20 in scoring in region seven CNliss., Kentucky, and Tennesseej Barnes led the team in rebounds. Rivers lost only two players because of gradua- tion, Cooley and Howard. i l Karen Myrick, in a crowd of defenders goes up for a shot.
