I think I had a perfect ending for my high school career, said Christie, but the state champi- onship would have really meant a lot to me.

The girls' basketball team took the season by storm, win- ning 26 games before their first loss. By losing to Mustang in the last game of the state finals, Moore became the state runner- up. 'The competition was hard, but I believe that we did our bestj' said junior Joanna Straka. Being no less than second best in the state, the girls had played in 16 games and partici- pated in five inter-state tournaments. I think that was the hardest, I mean all those games, said senior Kayla Cook. I thought the season was going to last forever. The Lady Lions began the season with a victory over Enid, 66-40. Their largest victory was the upset over the Lawton Ike team by a score of 78 to 26. Hoping to be state champions, their most dis- appointing game was obviously their loss in the state finals game, 32-38. The worst part about losing was that it was our last game of the season and we would have had a perfect record,', said mportant Stats.
