X Iockettes succeed in first season One year of play doesn't make in- stant winners or expert players. In their first full season of play, the girls' basketball teams learned this as they drilled and drilled and . . . This year was used to stress basics and fundamentals, said Coach Buffy Fitzgerald. Some girls have played basketball, some have not. We con- centrated on shooting, ball handling, rebounding and defense. There were two teams, a non- honors team consisting of sophomores, juniors and seniors and a freshman team. This non-honor level qualifies the teams for UIL play next year. The season was mostly a learning one, though most girls felt it was more successful than last year's mini-season. Our defense was a lot stronger than our offense this year. Next year the offense should develop further, said Iunior Emily Schuette. According to coach, offense sells tickets and defense wins games, ad- ded lunior Ellen Ewing. The season consisted of 13 regular season games and a tournament worked up by the coaches for the purpose of extra games. Character was the strong point of the non-honors team. They were dedicated and willing to work, said Coach Fitzgerald. They had a lot of class and played with a lot of class. Though they won only two games, the freshmen weren't too disap- pointed. We did pretty good con- sidering most of us hadn't played before, said Freshman Ricki Shoss. When you compare us at the start to the end of the season, it is unbelievable, added Freshman Krista Gregory. The freshmen's main obstacle was lack of teamwork. We'd get on each other's nerves, so it was important to work as a team, said Katie Matzinger. We had a lot of spirit. Their desire to improve kept the team together, said Coach Fanny McGee. Instead of focusing on win- ning, the girls improved their skills to become a better team. Coach Fitzgerald is leaving after only one season. Coach taught us a whole lot this year. It is really a loss that she is leaving, said Ellen. Coach Fitzgerald summed up the year by saying, We have begun the foundations for a basketball program at Memorial. The cornerstones, which are the most significant part of a solid foundation, have been laid.
