Girls sink some HOT SHOTS Is. Whether it was a lay-up, free throw, or just a regular box shot, the la- dies on both freshman and JV teams had them mastered. The swish of the ball falling through the hoop was heard often, and was followed by a cheer from the crowd. The things 1 think makes a bas- ketball team successful is when all the players work hard in both practices and games, and if they stick together no matter what the score is, said sophomore Brandi Ballou. This was the opinion of most players on both teams. The play- ers must have worked hard all season. The JV team not only de- feated many teams, including Dal- las Christian and Ennis, but they also received two second place trophies and one third place tro- phy. Although the freshman team lost some of their players to the JV team, they didn ' t lose their spirit and success. Their biggest win was against Lancaster, 33-13. The girls also defeated North Forest, Richardson, and others, proving their skills. In basketball, it ' s hard to achieve success, but both of these teams did, and they did it with piz- zazz. (Carrie Robinson) With 46 seconds left, PHS is down by two. Christi Crumpton. Stacie Russell, Kelli Riggle, Patricia Brown, and Danielle Brateris raised the spirits of the team with a pep talk. r ■
