'NX A it was Coach Kernans first year coaching at Meade but that didnit stop him from shaping his team into one of the best ever. Their strengths could not overcome their weaknesses as the Girls' Varsity Basket- ball team finished with a record of six wins and eleven losses. But their record really didn't show how much work, time and effort was put into the season. The team lacked experienced players as only two seniors, Michele Jones and Donna Johnson, re- turned from last years team. The team was guided by first year coach Stan Kernan. Kernan and his team earned a fourth place seed in the county playoffs, where they were defeated in the first round by the Annapolis Panthers. Despite this loss and a somewhat disappointing sea- son, each of the girls gained experience, which will be valuable for the nine varsity players returning to next years team. Leading the team to their six wins were Donna Johnson with the most points scored, and Lissa Roberts, and Mallee Kirk with the most rebounds. it 252 A Michelle Jones keeps the ball moving, a strategy used by all good offenses.
