Little Bees Aided by Ms. Barnes, a new P.E. in¬ structor at OHS, the Little Bees pulled tlirough many victories, end¬ ing their season in third place. Sec¬ ond unfortunately went to Wood- bridge, who managed to sink a free throw in the playoff game with the Little Bees, thus robbing them of sec¬ ond place. This exciting game lasted through two tied overtime periods and with just a few seconds left in the extra quarter Woodbridge scored their point. The girls’ teamwork and strategy seemed to work well, especially with some of the new plays Coaeh Barnes added to their practice hours. These plays gave the girls a chance to de- velope a press and work on fast breaks, which helped them in their fine season. Upon the retirement of Ms. Huff as girls’ varsity basketball coach a space will be left unfilled in the OHS coaching staff. Ms. Barnes will fill this opening, with hopes to drive the Queen Bees to the championships, as she did with the Little Bees. 16

Queen Bees Try for Crown- Only Second The consistently winning teams Coach Nancy Huff has produced gave Os¬ bourn’s sports a new dimension of vic¬ tory. The girls’ performances were a source of hope and pride for the entire school. The Girls’s Varsity basketball team reached the finals in the District Tournament. However, the champion¬ ship was just out of their grasp as they lost to an overpowering Gar-field at¬ tack. With the victory filled season other bright spots included the All- County performances of Hess Stuart and Lisa Hewitt. The winningest coach at Osbourn an¬ nounced that this year was to be her last basketball coaching season, but prom¬ ised to continue as softball coach. Next year’s basketball coach will enter a team that has a tradition of victory. Stretching, Kathy Peters tries to get that rebound. Giving that extra push, Barb Brown makes two points. Penton, well guarded by the opposition, shoots blocked. Lisa Hewitt gets the jump. Soph¬ omore Cheri Morrow looks for a play to set up. As graceful as ever, Donna Penton chalks up two more points. 15
