«e Expectations The girl’s varsity basketball team, led by 4'11 senior Darlene Camp- bell, spent many hours conditioning and training for the next season. Because of the fact that the team had lost most of its major players due to seniors graduating, the team's inex- perience placed a major obstacle in the Lionesses' pathway. However, the mighty Lionesses were not down and out of the picture. Team members planned to perform more successfully in the following season. Coach Wilds had this to say about his team: A lot of people were ridiculing the Lady Lions for their performances. They do not realize that I am working with a lot of first year players. The Lady Lions were made up of a young, inex- perienced team with a lot of talent that needs to be matured. I have high ex- pectations for my team. I'm almost cer- tain we will do better in the next season.” Some of the most outstanding re- turning players will be future juniors Tara Williams and Trina Andrews are excellent examples. There will also be Monique Minor who led the junior high basketball league in scoring. With players like these and a little improve- ment. the Lady Lions cannot help but do better in the following season. With all the support of all the students in the Lions' Den, the basketball team's high expectations are bound to come true. Kimberly Crompton Row 1: Shannon Waters. Jackie Tucker. Tracy Reeves.
