By Jennifer Stampfli Animal cheerl' shouted someone and the girls prowled around the court growling at one another. Team captain Paige Smith ex- plained, 'llt's the team's way of getting 'up' for the game. The growling puts us in a good mood, ready for the competition. Finishing the season undefeated, all agreed that the key to their success was uni- ty. Coach Mary Cooper called them The best team l've ever had. Zoe Anastas said, HWe join together to get things done. Every- one gets along with everyone elsef' Judy Egan added, K'We're all friends, we stick to- gether and push. Another plus besides cooperation is our strong fundamentals. We don't have any weak areas, stated Cindy Beers. Each game radiated with the team spirit and devotion felt by each girl. i'Everyone wants to win and tries harder. Our spirit really brings us alive, expressed Susan Napierala. Enthusiasm pre- vailed on the court as the girls cheered one another on and growled. Coach Cooper credited her team's success to three key factors. First, the team has a lot of depth. Any six girls on the team are good enough to win league. Second, they all sup- port each other. And third, Coach Sarver- Reis worked with them over the summer, they came to me ready to play. At the end of the season Paige Smith re- marked, 'iWe work well together. Everyone has a lot of talent. Even in one season I saw my teammates strive for more and improve. Back left: J. Egan, J.
