Lady Pirates Take DVAL Crown 12-2 PIRATES MAKE IT TO NCS Experience proved to be a great factor in the Lady Pirates' successful year. This year's leaders of the team were also last year's leaders. The four girls have had much experience in basketball and lead their team to NCS. In the DVAL season, the girls experienced two losses, one to Clay- ton Valley and the other to Northgate. Both games were lost by a close margin. Despite the Lady Pi- rates' losses, they took the DVAL crown. DVAL play-offs for NCS were two easy wins for the Pirates, one to Concord and the other to Antioch. The girls next task was to play james Logan and win. Unfortunately, they lost, with a score of 53-49. Lidia Stiglich, Rhonda Collins and Denise Dyer were the strong scorers for the season.

She was high scorer for that game. - April Botsford LaRhondaCollinsputshergracefuljumperintoef- Varsity GfI'1S,B3S1CCfb311 , , , fect against Antioch.
