After a long volleyball season, the Lady Hawks have Successful hen behind in your next project, nev- er give up. When the 1986-87 Lady Hawks basketball schedule began, the team was still in the thick of their volleyball sched- ule. Only upon their retum from the State toumament in Austin were the Lady Hawks able to begin practice and start playing bas- ketball. Due to this set back, the Lady Hawks had only one game in their pre-season schedule. Three games at the top of the list were can- celled, but when the Lady Hawks finally opened their season against Texas High ear- ly in December, they proved they could play. After defeating the Ben-Gals 42-55, the team jumped into their toumament and District slate. Shanon Ross, team starter, said this about the Texas High game, Everybody was tired after playing volleyball, so we really didn't play up to par. By the second half of the game, we were playing better ball. ln the Linden-Kildare toumament, the Lady Hawks place third by defeating Clarks- ville and Queen City, and in the Clarksville toumey, the team bounced back from a Dis- trict-opening loss to Hughes Springs and beat Paris, Delialb, and Clarksville for the toumament title. After a hard loss to New Boston, the Hawks entered their joint toumament with Hooks, where they picked up another win and two more losses for their record. The next three games were a little down- hill forthe Lady Hawks. They lost those three to Paul Pewitt Q51-473, Hooks Q25-583, and Linden-Kildare 457-585. The team then beat Delialb 51-52 and lost again to Queen City, .lunlor Varsity. Back!! Stephanie Gordon, Beth Rash. Brandy Collins. Shana Johnson, Allison Chambers.

The second half of the District slate was a little brighter for the Lady Hawks, who had victories over DeKalb and Atlanta. They played hard against future District 15-5A play-off representatives New Boston and Hooks, but came up short both times. The team ended the season on a high note, how- ever, beating Atlanta, 45-52. Through the course of the season, team members of the Lady Hawks received many honors. As a result of their win at the Clarksville toumey, Senior Dosha Hall and Junior Sha- non Ross were named to the all-toumament team. Dosha and Shanon were again recog- nized, Dosha on the first team, and Shanon, along with Senior teammate Rachel Gwinn an the second, when All-District 15-5A hon- ors came out. The Lady Hawks finished with a record of eleven wins and twelve losses. Their dis- trict record came out very similar to their sea- son record, but on a smaller scale. Five wins and six losses went dovlm as the way the Lady Hawks finished their district season. The Junior Varsity squad didn't play as many games as the Varsity, but finished with a District record of 4-1.
