The players broke many of the school records, and gained the respect of all the opponents in their league. ln the tournament the Norsewomen beat Andrew Lewis in the first round 54-35.

Pam Spencer really shone with her point record for this season. She had scored 210 points for the season, and her highest score for a single game was 25 points. Pam has scored 378 points in her basketball Cafeef. When asked how she feels about coaching, Miss Bussey replied, I enjoy coaching because I am able to get to know my players on a more personal basis. l think coaches need to respect their players and players need to respect their coach in order to have a good feeling among the members of the team. l have always tried to stress the 'Team concept' rather than glorify any one member of the team. The reason for our success this season was due to a total team effort. l get a great deal of satisfaction from having the team perform to the best of it's ability rather than just one or two individuals. Next year's success will again depend on how we work together. We Are Champions 36 Sharon Chiles cuts one of the bib nets afte defeating Byrd in the championship 59-48.
