h ll, Connor Ie The senior girls' basketball team had a disappointing season, only winning two games. The girls' record did not reflect the amount of heart, determination, and concentration that they put enough girls to scrimmage. Another problem was the risk of too many girls fouling out ofthe game. Everyone got a lot of playing time because of the lack of girls. commented sophomore ad team about the C.A.C. game, lt was really great that we had so much support from our fans. That had a major part in the outcome of the game. The Bruins traveled to One ofthe highlights ofour season was our victory over C.A.C. Renee Howell forth in each game. Their two victories came over the Arkansas School for the Deaf and the C.A.C. Mustangs. In the Deaf School game, Cathy Kim The Shell had 12 points and Connor had lO points. Bruins' victory against the Mustangs at P.A., was glorifying, to say the least. The final score was 35-32. Only having eight players did cause some problems through- out the season. During their practices, they didn't have Kristin Hooper. The season included some very close games but the lack of players hurt. The eight girls were often tired and ran out of steam as games came to an end. Sophomore Gaby Albertson stated, I believe if we had more players, we could have had a better chance at winning games. Homecoming week for the Lady Bruins included the victory over C.A.C. and a tough loss to Bauxite on Homecoming night. Senior Cathy Shell commented Harding to play C.A.C. in the first round of the District Tournament. Unfortunately, C.A.C. prevailed as the Bruins' season ended. The year wasn't a total loss. Even though this year's seniors will be missed, the juniors and sophomores on the team received experience that will be needed and welcomed for future seasons.
