Girls Roll to 19-5 Season Sparked by the play of Beth Spence and the leader- ship of Andrea Young and Ruth Jordan, the 1984 Lady Chiefs Varsity Basketball team completed yet another outstanding season. The team finished the year at 19-5, 9-3 in the tough Central District, and advanced all the way to the Central Region semi-fin- als before falling to Lee Davis. Among the team’s most im- pressive wins were two over top-seeded Marshall-Walker, including a convincing 13 point victory in the finals of the Central District tourna- ment, and two over Arm- strong-Kennedy to average an earlier one point loss. In all, the Lady Chiefs swept at least two games from eight of their opponents; and of their losses, only one was not decid- ed in the fourth quarter. As a team, the Lady Chiefs were an impressive unit, aver- aging a prolific 63.1 points per game on 48%. shooting from the floor. Beth Spence led the team in scoring with 18.5 points an outing; and with Jennifer Crusade, the team’s inside duo averaged 21.6 re- bounds a game. Both girls shot a remarkable 55°. from the floor; Jennifer led the team in free throw percent- age, making 69 of all her at- tempts. Ruth Jordan, in addition to AX O7 vo% MEY her 10.8 points per game aver- age, was the team’s play- maker dishing out a school re- cord of 104 assists to further aid the team. Andrea Young and Michelle Hug balanced the team scoring as they com- bined to score nearly 15 points per game. The leader- ship displayed by both An- drea and Ruth were key in- tangibles in all of the team’s victories. The Lady Chief’s reserves were also vital to the success of the team averaging 11.4 points per game. The scoring effort here was led by Brenda Maxey; but as the key sixth player, she was noted primarily for her strong de- fense. On the offensive side of the court, Andrea Lenhart led the team in field goal percent- age canning 61° of all her shots. With Debbie Thomas, Megan O’Donnell, Kelly Kocher, and Brenda adding eight rebounds a game, and with Jennifer Griffith, who provided additional mark- manship at the free-throw line (67°. ), the reserves were a dependable bunch that Coach Wallace could count on. With three starters, a strong bench, and astrong JV program coming up for next year, the Lady Chiefs should finish yet another in a long line of successful seasons. Beth Spence, one of the re- turnees, is already both the school’s career scoring and re- bound leader. With Jennifer Crusade working in tandem with Beth, the front line of the team should be strong for the upcoming season. Hungry? Demonstrating the tough defense of the lady Chiefs, Jennifer Crusade makes sure her opponent eats leather. Girls Varsity Basketball Bombs away!

Lady Chiefs were led by sophomore co- captains Jamie Herbertson and Katie George. Jamie led the team with an 8.7 points per game scoring average, while Katie paced the Lady Chiefs with 70°. foul shoot- ing accuracy. Other outstand- ing performances were turned in by freshman Amy Daniel (48 steals), and Kerri Shea (55% shooting from the field), as well as the sopho- more tri-towers, Jennifer Shives (27 blocked shots), Ro- binett Pittman (52 offensive rebounds), and Allison Asher (74 defensive rebounds). In addition, the bench strength provided by “sixth men” sophomores Ann Scott and Heather Wasink, as well as freshmen Julie Mathers, Jennifer Wersland, and Ra- chelle Whidby provided the necessary boost to carry the J.V. Lady Chiefs to their fourth consecutive winning season. J.V. Girls Basketball Gaining inside position on her opponent, Kerri Shea eases a shot off the backboard.
