A 9-9 record ended a a season that was a at the start They had high hopes for victory although they knew it wouldn’t be easy. Also, they had the prospect of two new coaches, Mr. Tom Link and Miss Joanne Hinkofer, who could ap¬ ply their knowledge and skills to bring out the team’s best qualities. They knew they would have to work hard and put forth their very best effort. But, as they real- Fear of a travelling call keeps Kathy McGlynn ’84 from getting to her feet even though she has a bet¬ ter grip on the ball than Renee Marcis ’86 or Heather Finnan ( 15) ’85.

Running the bleachers, push-ups, sit- ups, 440’s, 220’s, and 110’s did not paint a pretty picture. It wasn’t easy, but it was well worth the effort. The girls felt ready to go. The team was chosen, plays were made, and skills were developed. The first game of the season against Villa Angela ended in a disappointing defeat. Many good things sur¬ faced in that game, but the players had a lot to work on bef ore their (continued on page 67) 1983-84 Varsity MHS Basketball OPPONENT 51 72 Villa Angela 57 34 Rocky River 40 27 Lutheran West 36 63 North Olmsted 50 54 St. Augustine 74 78 Holy Name (OT) 61 51 Notre Dame 52 61 St. Joseph 53 38 Central Catholic 59 47 Elyria Catholic 56 24 Erieview 60 53 St. Augustine 41 59 Holy Name 33 47 St. Joseph 59 71 Lorain Catholic 77 72 Central Catholic 83 36 Erieview 28 44 Bay Final Record: 9-9 VARSITY BASKETBALL 65 Maggie Mroz ’84 reacts to a play during the Holy Name game, which went into over¬ time.

64 Every coach ' s fear, Martha Cutarelli ’84, slides to defend against a Bay op¬ ponent as Kathy McGlynn ’84 runs to her aid. In the Bay game — and two oth¬ ers—Martha was the object of the virtually impenetra¬ ble box-and-one defense because coaches needed drastic measures to keep the ball from such a strong offensive player. Bay suc¬ ceeded in holding Martha to only two points. Photo by A. Sheridan. The only defense be¬ hind her, Renee Marcis ’86 has a clear shot to the bas¬ ket in the second half of the game at Holy Name. The Namers outscored Magnificat 31-22 in the sec¬ ond half. Renee scored three points in that game. Photo by A. Sheridan. VARSITY BASKETBALL

No one can stop Heather Finnan’s ’85 shot in a game against Erieview. Heather accumulated 16 points for the Blue Streaks in the February 9 game. Photo by A. Sheridan. Since the hand is considered part of the ball, this Holy Name defender is legal — so far — with her thumb on Cheryl Trzcin- ski’s ’86 arm. Cheryl was Magnificat’s high scorer for that game with 13 points, three of which resulted from foul shots. Photo by A. Sheridan. 66 VARSITY BASKETBALL
