Darla Thurston was voted Most Valuable player with the most rebounds and a free throw percentage of 66.6. Her sister, Carla, led the team scoring a 52 percent for the season. Michelle Houle was voted Hustler by her teammates. Early in the season she wasn't even starting. Houle played more and more, improving her shooting percentage throughout the season. Team scores were Ontario 56-27, 56-29, Baker 57-24, 37-315 Crook County 46-27, 53-17, LaGrande 46-36, 42-17, Hermiston 68-33, 42-17, Pendleton 45-25, 33-17, and Bend 47- 24, 37-31.

They pulled off 9 wins and 13 losses. Players injured at the beginning of the season were Sarah Selken and Dawn Riepma. Sarah Selken was skiing at Mount Bachelor when she wrecked and tore the ligaments and muscles in her leg. She did not play in any games. Dawn Riepma injured her knee in a practice game before the season opened. She did get to play a game and a half, but reinjured her knee and was forced to have surgery. Beth Reinke also injured her ankle, she tore the ligaments in it. The JV team was made up of almost all sophomores. Seven to be exact, and Janet Edwards, a freshman. The Most Valuable Player award went to Janet Edwards. Margaret Haynes a junior took Most Inspirational award. The Most Improved went to Janice Buttrum. The girl's freshman basketball team had a pretty good year. They lost five games in the very beginning of the season and then turned around and won five games against the teams they had previously lost to. Coach Arlire Seems said, The reason we lost the games was no one really knew what was going on out on the court. By the end of the season my team improved on the offense as well as defense. One player said, MI don't think other teams improved as much as we did because we really smoked out on that court. Freshman basketball awards went to Tina McGraw and Holly Ledgerwood for the Most Valuable player. Leanna Shafner got the Most Improved. She went from being a complete novice to being a good prospect for next year. Signe Estergreen, a freshman, won Most Inspirational. if .,.,,...-s ,M is wk -.
