The girls had skill and worked hard building speed and endurance, enabling them to break all previous Freshman Girls’ Basketball records.

The Freshman team’s Most Valuable player award went to Julie Midkiff; Most Spirited to Rulanna Hybl; Best Attitude was given to Nikki Pope and Laura Seiffert; and Most Improved was awarded to J.V.
