Sharpshooting Trio Leads Team To CIF ed by senior co-captains, center Vicki Skiba, and guard Kim Knestrick, who are both second year starters, the Pirates had a phenomenal season. Junior Ginny Falsetti was named Prep Athlete of the Week by the Telegram-Tribune for her outstanding per- formances against Mission College Prep, Arroyo Grande, and Carmel. In those three games she scored 53 points and led the team to a victory in each game. The high point of the season came when coach Tim Barkas' girls defeated the league champion Atasca- dero Greyhounds in double overtime play. For Vicki Skiba and Knestrick, the season was nothing short of spectacular and a fitting end to their careers. The backcourt combination ofq8ylvia Ggnzalesgand Kim Knestrick proved to be an asset as this lightning quick pair used their speed to cause havoc for opposing teams. Their speed was also an asset to the fast break after the tenacious defense had stripped the ball. Their dream of going to CIF is very much a reality this sea- son. The JV girls basketball squad consisted of a talented group of gifted athletes. The combination of talent, size and skill enabled the girls to dominate the league. Starting center Laura Hittle played a major role in both offense and defense with her rebounding and shotb- locking. The sharpshooting trio of Marquise Bent, Shel- ly Smith, and Cheryl Rodenhi blew holes in their oppo- nents defense. Coach Nerelli used his years of exper- ience to forge the girls talent into a well oiled team machine which not only entertained the enthusiastic crowd but also proved to be winners. 104 Basketball
