Basketball (bas-ket-ball -bol n) A usual court g-ame in which each of the two teams tries to toss an inflated ball through a raised goal; also the hall used in this game. Lady Wolves Continue Winning Ways The Lake Hamilton High School Lady Wolves have incorporated the rules to formulate a game of their own. The Lady Wolves are a combination of experience; practice, and ultimate enthusiasm. Two strong seniors, Tippi McCullough and Donna Thornton, guide the Lady Wolves, leading the scoring and rebounding efforts. Juniors Mary Cearly and Sherry Brown also stand out in scoring abilities combined with the outstanding defense of sophomore Tamra Barrett. Juniors Shannon Merriott and Mechael Walls also contribute to the team ' s success. The size of the Lady Wolves is a contributing factor to the success of the team. They have developed a good defense, are prone to start slowly, but come on strong towards the middle and end of the games. You could say they build to an exciting climax, a sure guarantee for an action filled basketball game. The all-summer practice from 9-12:00 plus night practice from 6:30-8:00 has definitely paid off for the Lake Hamilton Lady Wolves. The Lady Wolves display a sound ball game with a fine shooting perfor- mance. Coach Boley is a well respected coach from the girls point of view. They also think he has sexy legs and really cute knees!! He is a friend who works with them, and for them. Although he is said to yell a lot, he also gets very excited about the team ' s successes and down fallen, but determined at their losses. He is a strong coach to direct a strong team. Donna Thornton talks about the team: We as a team, stick closely together. We become really excited and anxious about each game. Something that helps to loosen us up is that before each game, we sing Father Abraham in the dressing room, a short song with limbering exercises. It reminds us that it ' s not whether we win or lose but how we play the game. We also say the Lord ' s Prayer before and after each game. We really enjoy playing basketball. That ' s what makes it special and fun to us. Sometimes, it ' s hard, making the body go that necessary extra mile. It ' s really hard to develop and keep a good mental attitude when we are behind. That takes a really positive mind, and Coach Boley really helps us to stay positive.
