Makin ' history 68 The girls no longer go into a game thinking they ' re going to be beaten ... — Coach Steve Goans Knocking off the big guys New principal Mr. Joseph Delehunt had more than just volleyball and football victories to boast about over the loud speaker this year. Although the girls basketball team members didn ' t have a winning record, they did prove they were a legitamate team capable of knocking off the big guys. The Lady Wildcats gained respect as they won their first City game ever over Central 47-46 and ended the season with a 6-9 slate after losing out to Bosse in the Sectionals. 1 thought we played a good game. It was a disappoint- ing way for me as well as the girls to end the season, but we were as good as a team as Bosse, commented Coach Steve Goans after the Sectional game. Goans felt his team showed more than its record. We really didn ' t play the first half of the season, but from Christmas on, we played pretty well. We really played as a team; there was more teamwork and cooperation out on the floor, commented junior Bar- bara Seib. The girls no longer go into a game thinking they ' re going to be beaten; we have a heads-up attitude, stated Goans. Adding to the Lady Wildcats rapid success was the fact they are shooting around at home, and juniors Brooke Heathcotte and Darlene Rooney attended Purdue sports camp over the summer. Also attributing help to the team is the grade school feeder league. The junior team members are the first who have come from the feeder system and have been the only ones having experience before high school, said Goans.
