TEAM I always had butterflies at first. Then, once I started warming up, 1 became excited and tried to share that with ev- eryone else, said Sr. Sonia Pe- terson, describing a feeling that some athletes experienced just before a game. Each ofthe girls, basketball teams used that excitement to carry them through the year. lt was hard at first, trying to orga- nize each individual to fit into the unified team. Sr. Michelle Mroz said, Everyone has to be a part of the team. They have to learn to trust each other be- cause you can't win a game without trustf' This trust and unity was pro- moted even more when the team took a trip to Boulder. The entire girls' basketball pro- gram, from the freshman teams through the varsity, took the two hour bus ride to see the women's team from CU play a game. Other gatherings were also planned. Usually when the team won, because we were in good mood, we'd go out for piz- za or somethingf, said Jr. Karla Todd. Head Coach Kim Kenyon was a positive force behind the team, providing help, support, and encouragement to all her players. Soph. Tania Colder- bank said, When everyone is down, she brings us up and gets us motivated. She is the back- bone of the entire basketball program. I never had a woman coach. It was different, but Coach Kenyon seemed to understand me more, said Karla.

Coach Carla Stearns, Michelle Mroz, Karen Server, Heather Dowd, Sonia Peterson, Heather Gifford, Coach Kim Kenyon. though Karla had just moved here, she was an instant pick for varsity. This wasnit surprising because she has been playing basketball since the third grade. The hard work, team unity, and knowledgeable coaching paid off. The varsity team end- ed with a 5 and 12 record. The important thing, however, was the learning that each person aquired. Coach Kenyon explained the spirit that pushed them on: There is a lot of pain in grow- ing up, but you usually get a lot of success. They have all done much growing, and the individ- uals have gained much success from their team experience. A BLOCKED SHOT by Soph. Heather Dowd allows Overland to trample the Trojans.
