New players ignite enthusiasm Q - - to me M K. The team had an abundance of talent left over from last year that, when com- bined with five new stars, added up to the powerhouse they were. Because of their depth and versatility, Coach Wright was able to switch players' positions, giving them all a chance to get in on the action. However, no matter where they were placed on the court, the athletes always lived up to their fans' expectations of well-executed passes and shots. Sopho- more Stacey Domenowske feels that their most impressive contest was against La- keside. Although they came up three points short, their plays were precise and their attitude was positive. Working togehter throughout the sea- son, they achieved a common goal: to be a winning team. Louise White looks on as Trina Chatman and Crystal Robinson wrestle to gain possession of the ball. Teri Redmond evades a Nathan Hale forward and shoots for two. Good things don't always come in small pack- ages. Such was the case with the Girls' Varsity Bas- ketball team, as guided by their head coach, Ben Wright. Although he wasn't wrapped in tin foil and topped with bright red ribbon, he was a gift to the girls, indeed. Under his skill and direc- tion, the team made a complete ISO-degree turn-around from previous years, When he be- came our coach, the team became organized, we played well, explained Tara Davis. Finishing with a solid second place in Metro, the team went on to the playoffs, demanding more than just a quick glance from their oppo- nents. They proved to be fierce competition, providing excitement and entertainment for all to witness. Girls' Varsity Basketball - I37
