Keeping a close eye on the basketjuniorsjodie Ander- son and Audrey Chappell wait in anticipation as Lori Silverthorne shoots the ball. Vatsit , teams y O post losing records Although we were unable to win any games and ended the season with a 0-20 record, the attitude of the team was excep- tional, said Coach Karen Pickett about the losing season of the varsity basketball team. They never gave up and were constantly looking and striving for ways to improve and become better. Ending with a City League record of 0-16, the female Grizzlies placed last in league competition. They competed in the Andale Tournament and lost to Campus, South and Maize. Their closest game of the season was the 49 to 52 loss to Maize. The team's strength was in rebounding and having lots of hustle, according to Pickert. Shooting from the field and runn- ing the plays held the team back at the first of the season, but by the end there was definite improvement in this area. JUNIOR vansmf Having a little more successful season than the varsity, thejunior Varsity completed the season by winning 2 out of 10 games. This record gave the team a tie for sixth place in City League action.
