The season was obviously one ot ups and downs as the girls lost their first 5 games and then bounced back to win 3 ot their next 7 games. With only one Senior returning to the Varsity squad it was apparent that the girls team would lack leadership. Such was not the case as lunior Co. Captains Wendy White and Kathy Rathjen guided the Lanc- ers to a very encouraging 5-14 record. The Lady Lancers soundly defeated Ca- manche the first game in sectional play only to lose to Davenport Central the tollowing game in a close contest. Wendy White and Lisa Finnegan were 68 SPORTS chosen as the Most Valuable Forwards. The team chose Kim Reese and Patti Green as the most valuable guards. Senior Denise Cfreve was named the Hlflardest Working in Practice thus showing her leadership on the practice floor. The Most lmproved Play- er was Meg Flenker. Several records were broken this season. Kim Reese set the mark tor steals in a seas son at 49. Wendy White had 61 assists to set the season assit record. As a team the Lanc- ers set the blocked shot record tor one sea- son at 64. Two girls were picked to the All Confer- ence Tearn.
