Girls IntramuralTeamsKept The Cougar Winning Streak Those energetic, behind-the-scene athletes that composed the Girls intramural teams gained awards with their excellence. The word intramural means a sport played on school property. Teams undertook softball, volleyball, and basketball during the season. i Mrs. Helen Brisson taught her volleyball team the fundamentals of the game and served as their most loyal and encouraging fan. Cap- tain of A Team was Mary Bradshaw, while the captain of B Team was Alice Clarke. f In softball competition, the girls opposed Mays, Palmetto, and South Dade at Suniland Park in early April. The slow pitch method Cunderhandh was used at the day games. Know-how was essential in intramurals. A l B division award was captured by the volley- ball team for the 1967-68 season. Most play- ers attributed a good game to cooperative work ,on the girls' behalf, and practice. Leaping for the sky with a gleam in her eyes, Carolyn Owens grabbed a fly ball, assisted by her P.F. Fliers. 5 S E it 3 l E i ff SLOW PITCHER MARLENE HEATH SCOOPED UP A BALL FOR A QUICK THROW. As Mrs. Brisson explained the finer points of girls' intramural softball, Diane Moon, patient but eager, waited for her turn to try batting a few. 163
