k BOYS BASKETBALL j Running The Boards The Pirates had a fairly mixed season, which included three wins and two very close losses. The most impressive win came in the first game of the District Tournament, when the boys beat Monroe for the second time. The team lost the championship game to the Clearwater Cardinals, who went on to win the State Championship in Class D2. Next year’s team should be in great shape with plenty of varsity experience among them, because the team did not have any losses to graduation. Top left, after rebounding.

k GIRLS BASKETBALL Passing To The Inside Despite a disheartening regular sea- son, the Lady Pirates pulled off a morale boosting upset for a second place finish in District competition. The season opened well with a win over the Spalding Bluejays. From there, play went from bad to worse, as a basically inexperienced team battled its way against larger, more mature opponents. The District win over Clearwater was sweet revenge, as the girls came back from a 13 point deficit at half-time. This made up for the one point loss suffered during regular season play. The Pi- rates lost three starters to gradu- ation: Jackie Daly, Lori Iburg and Marlene Salber. Team: (back row) Coach Lori Sorensen, Jackie Daly, Lori Iburg. Marlene Salber. Asst.
