Ending the regular season with a 14-2 record, the girls defeated McColl in the first game of the Confer- ence Tournament, held in the Latta gym. After losing to Timmonsville in the next game of the double- elimination tournament, they came back to win the next three contests, but were edged by the Whirlwinds again the final game to take runner-up honors. Latta dominated the All-Conference Team with three players to attain that honor: Guards Jean Fore and Joyce Coleman, and forward Paula Dew.
