'l . K Ifzllni Ulmul: for Valley The glass slipper fit! The Cinderella team finally made it to the ball. After 28 long hard years, the girls 1981-82 varsity basketball team finally made it to the Valley play-offs, by sharing the SYL co-championship with a 12-2 re- cord along with Bakersfield High. The Stars fought hard all through the season, and with tremendous efforts, fine teamwork and endless determina- tion, the girls made the fairytale into a dream come true. In a three-way tie for first with Bakers- field High and West High, the Stars had to face both contenders in the final two games of the season. The girls stood tough against both, to gain the title. They overtook the Drillers 68-58, be- hind the outstanding games of Julie Tillman, whose 14 points and 23 re- bounds tied the SYL record, and Wen- dy Martell who had a game high of 23 points. The Vikings did not go down as easily as the Drillers, but the Stars downed them 70-65 to grasp the co-champion- ship. The Stars had to really battle and with fine efforts by forward Elaine Winchester with 19 rebounds and 15 points, Wendy Martell again with 23 points and Tara Ross who had 19 points and 6 assists, the Vikes finally fell. With hard work, determination and pure effort, the Stars sought to take the Valley title. If they want it badly enough, l feel the girls can do it, said Coach McQuin at press time. 50fGirls Varsity Basketball Af-95 t n Zi hfq Kli?f?nni5 iii ' R sms rs st 'iii' 'ff 'W , I 1 nl-5
