I1 We were lea' by Soplzs Lori Campbell, Karen Miller, and Shannon SpangIer, according to coach Gary Kibby. The team won the J.V. championship with a 9 and 2 record. Shannon Spangler commented, As a member of the Lake Orion J.V. girls' basketball team, I think we had a great season, winning the cham- pionship. Mr. Kibby brought the team together and was behind us all the way. Daleann Blythe replied, This year's team had different goals from the year before. Last year no one really cared about bench warming. But this year, it seemed that people on the team' wanted to improve for themselves, not for the team. This year's MVP's were Lori Campbell and Judy Scribner. Shan- non Spangler was the most im- proved player, and Karen Miller was the best defensive player. . 68 J V Girls' Basketball!Cross Country THE OAKLAND A J.V.

1 ' I ll The 76' team dm' not meet expectlons, replied coach Dick Valentine. The team record was 8 wins and 3 losses in league competition. Junior Lori Olson summed up her feelings of Cross Country in this way, Beyond the shadows of L.O.H.S. lies a solemn field with whispering trees and waving weed stalks. This is a place where anxiety reaches its zenith and the nightmare of physical torture haunts the mind. The starting blocks reveal the start of the long and treacherous route. The L.O.H.S. course is well planned and is one of the toughest in the state of Michigan. Junior Steve Samosiuk com- mented, Cross Country is hard, physically and mentally, so much that sometimes when you're running, you picture yourself in ridiculous situations. One reward you can get from the sport is physical conditioning. I had a knee operation last year and cross country built up my knee like weight never could.
