They're still yV BELOW: Missy Carlson shooting first of 1 and 1 in home victory over Liberty The spring season for North Penn'sjunior High lady Panthers proved a very successful one as for the 4th season in a row, Coach Smith's team clawed their way through the schedule without a defeat. North Penn was tested on the road by Wellsboro as a 12 point halftime lead disappeared and the Hornets crept to within 2 points. Trish Clark hit 5 consecutive foul shots to clinch a 28 to 23 win. The Mansfield Tigers hung tough in their first meeting as the homestanding Panthers posted a hard fought 26 to 21 win. The last game at Mansfield shaped up to be a real test for North Penn but the Lady Panthers rose to the occasion and rolled to a 37 to 19 win as Missy Carlson scored 16 points and Amy Runyan pulled down 13 rebounds. Trish Clark led the team in scoring (13-6 ppg) and rapidly improving Missy Carlson (8.2 ppg) was second. Amy Runyan averaged 10 rebounds a game and Amy Smith (7.0 ppg) led the team in steals and assists. Misty Jo Canfield and Sherry Makely were often starters and played very effectively. Kim Chamberlain, first year player Jen Youmans, Teresa Eddinger, and Christine Kreger improved steadily. The Smurfs (sounds better than Scrubs), won 11 of their 12 games including an OT win over C.V. The only loss was to Elkland which played the same team in both games. Outstanding players included the excellent ball handling Gail Ruberto who led the team in assists and steals. Shannon Greer, Center, led the team in scoring and rebounding. Guard, Sue Woodward, im- proved steadily. Heidi and Heather Hutcheson were battlers on the boards. Audra Aumick, outside shooter, and Shannon Pierce started many contests. Always hustling Laurie Moore, Kelly Nybeck, Traci Johnson, Lynette Graves, and Angie Page round- ed out the team. 28 ABOVE: Point Guard Gail Ruberto, sinks foul in win over Liberty.

Junior Brent Shypulefski uses all of his muscles to throw the steel shot put at a meet at Mansfield University. The injury ridden boy's track team had a respect- able season despite severe injuries to strongly com- petitive athletes. The result was a 5-2 season with losses to SRU the League Champions and Mansfield the League runner-ups. Fielding the largest North Penn team in many years. 52 athletes, the team was composed mostly of 9th and 10th grade athletes. A young team yes, but most will mature into fine athletes. Many of the younger athletes scored points vital to our victories over Elkland and Williamson, when injur)' plagued our veterans. The High point of the season for myself, being a hurdler of past times, was watching the long stand- ing record for the 300 intermediates fall. The speed and agility of Scott Kreger dropped it to a 41.25 seconds. Saying goodbye to seniors such as Dale Mundis who holds the 1600m record at 4:36 will be hard. Other seniors who will be greatly missed are: Field events Jeff Dex Winder. Mark Bubba Pri- set, Brian Dog Kuhn, Chuck Loudenslager, Mike Smith. Tim Axle Atkinson, Shawn Toner. Stacey Wilson, Adrian Aiello, and Rob Digger Hilfiger. Also runners Jeff Pete Hall, Scott Kreger, John Roach Wclk, and Jeff Runyan, Ed Stevens. John Wheeler, and John Zizza. Bill Woodward Springs hard to the finish line.
