Although they finished 4th n the conference, they beat l.C. Regina ind Durant who were rated ahead of hem. l'he Regina game was probably the illustangs best performance, as they ipset the Regals who had previously ost only to 9991 rated Solon. l'he team did not have a lot of height ind experience returning. However, because there were only three seniors, the underclass players did a great job of filling out the team. Unfortunately this lack of size and experience cost them the Sectional game against CR. Kennedy A banquet was held at the end of the season to honor the players, coaches, parents and fans. Joy Jordan was named to first team All-Conference, and Krista Meeker was recognized as a second team All-Conference player.

For the first time in many years, Mt. Vernon won their first round sectional game against Wilton. ln their next game they lost to West Liberty, and ended their season. With many young players, the team gained valuable ex- perience which will prove valuable in years to come.
