YA... ii Determination is key to experience Although the JV girls bas- ketball team viewed their sea- son as a disappointment, the experience that the players gained was invaluable. Playing for a high school team was very different from a junior high team. It took us a while to adjust, but even- tually we did, said Sopho- more Dee Dee Stephens. The team's overall district record was 3-14. The girls were very young. They took on big responsibilities. The team functioned well together and they had fun playing, said Coach Nancy Erickson. Dee Dee said, That's the im- portant part, thaving funj isn't it? Key players on the team were Trisha Grim and Paula Lenard. Their efforts not on- ly showed on the court, but they also contributed by help- ing to keep up the morale of their teammates. Coach Nan- cy Erickson said, 'iOverall I was proud of my team be- cause they never gave up. Leslie Bachand 24 f Girls JV Basketball!Design by Leslie Bachand 'EEE Sei e Q5 .sli- S. fx, ,M K .

A MEETing with s ccess Six o'clock in the morning, sleepy eyes, tired limbs, striv- ing to finish that last grueling lap a Lamar swimmer finally comes out of the pool. Hard work and long hours were familiar to all the swim- mers. We were doing 8,000 yards a day in the morning, but it only benefitted us, said Junior Jason King. Most swimmers didn't seem to mind the training as much when their efforts started paying off. The boys had an undefeated season and also won their dual meet against Plano. The meet was very exciting for all the swim- mers. The atmosphere was very tense as the points came down to the last relay, said Senior Katy Fidler. The team also had a great showing at the district cham- pionship at Trinity. Katy along with Senior Kyle DeBlonk, served as the captains of the 1987-88 team. They both were strong assets to the team as well as Senior Lance Ford, Juniors Jason N. J.. W ff . ., . 1, .- l-.f s M, lr Mafia . -, .

You really get to know everyone on the team because we spend so much time to- gether. Weire friends for life, said Kyle. The team was like a big family and pulled to- gether under the leadership of Coaches Jon Ivonen, Cindy Lane and Tracy Kaulman. Julie Rowell ,ansr-a'W '-r
