Freshman Basketball Bounces n No matter what people said about the freshman basketball team no one could touch their high spirits. No matter how man games they lost they would say, We will win next time . When asked who he thought was the most improved, Mr. Day said, l can't really say because they all worked very hard. W just played teams that exploited our errors. Out of ten games played they won four and lost six. Their best score was Novi 62, South Lyon 43 . A lot of people attended the games and here are a few of their comments: That's my kid out there. Shoot it through th hoop, Price! Don't let them have that ball! Rebound!

J.V. Lad Cats Keep On Corin, Ladycats started the season slow but, with a lot of enthusiasm, finished fourth in the league . The most exciting game the Ladycats played was a slow starter against South Lyon. The Ladycats were losing 12 to O in the rst quarter. With the help of McAllen scoring 13 points and Sobkow scoring 11 points, the Ladycats won 32 to 30. Even though the Ladycats started slow, which made Coach Hayward a little nervous, the team really improved as the season 3111 OH . This year I worked with a predominantly inexperienced team, but they showed great determination by finishing with 10 wins td 7 losses, said Coach Hayward. At the Fall Sports Banquet, awards were given to Tracy Sobkow for most valuable player, Mary Weber for most improved ayer, and Jane McAllen for highest scorer.
