laying for iun and winning some Some outsiders may not have thought that the girls varsity basketball team was successful this year, but the team believed differently. This year was new for me. It was my first year of coach- ing the girls varsity team, explained Coach Tracy Fri- day. Even though we didn't win a whole lot of games, we did have a good time playing. The year gave the girls a chance to gain experience. It was an excellent opportunity to grow. Sophomore Kara Mulkey agreed with Coach Friday. We didn't win very much, but when we did win, we de- served it because we played a good game. The best thing about this team was that we all liked each other - we got along together and we en- joyed playing together. We love basketball, Jun- ior Staci Gildenblatt ex- plained, and that is why we played. It didn't matter that we lost as long as we had fun. We all loved Coach Friday, too. She's that greatest! We fthe teaml would just like to tell her that we're sorry that her first year of coaching the girl's varsity basketball wasn't the best - and we promise that next year will be better.
