ONE STEP AT A TIME MOST IMPROVED Name: Becky Hall Grade: Sophomore Becky has played basketball for four years. '7 like basketball because it's a fast game and it’s the only sport that girls could go out for during the winter. This year the Junior Varsity girls basketball team had an outstanding record with 14 wins and 5 losses. Miss Pam Whisler. a 2nd year math teacher here at Mazama, took the position as the J.V. girls coach this year and it seemed to have worked very well. Miss Whisler said. I really enjoyed coaching. I had a team of fantastic girls both in personality and basket- ball skills. They were real fun, but also hard workers.” Mr. Poetsch was the Varsity coach and also helped Miss Whisler. Coach Poetsch was great to work with, he has a lot of basketball knowledge and is very willing to share it. He also added a very unique sense of humor to my first year of coaching! Miss Whisler commented she would love to coach again if Mr. Poetsch is will- ing to let her. This years special award went to Becky Hall as Most Improved on the Junior Varsity team. Joining the Coaching staff was Mr. Holcomb taking the freshmen girls basketball team. Mr. Holcomb has coached basketball at a B school level, in both Junior High and High school. This year’s record wasn’t quite what the Viking girls had hoped for. With a record of 4 wins and 12 losses, Mr. Holcomb says there is still definite talent coming up for Varsity Basket ball. It is up to each individual girl' determination this summer to furtht develop their skills. They need to pla more rat ball, watch other games, an. get in the gym other times beside regular scheduled practices. They ar hard workers, they want to please, an. they listen better than boys. Being male, coaching girls made locke room etiquette also very difficult. Special honors were awarded t these athletes: Angela Lopez, Mos Valuable, Most Inspirational, am High Point Scorer; Yvonne McGin nis. Most Dedicated; Michelle Ed wards, Most Improved. OPPONENT M.H.S.
