The long hard practices under Coaches Anderson and Swanson developed a strong defensive team. Through the use of an effective press, the team was able to have a winning record for season play. At the end of the season the team was seeded 5th for the beginning of the tournament play. There was an exciting double overtime win against Prinsburg.

Coach Westphal also declared, “Joan was the one with the highest percentage of field goals around the confer- ence.” Joan had the second highest average in the 212 conference of 15.4 points per game. Senior Mary Standfuss was named to the WCCO All-State Girls’ Basketball Team of the Year. She led the 212 Conference wth an average of 18.9 points per game. Mary was named to the Willmar Tribune’s All Area Team. Both Joan Mulder and Mary Standfuss were named to the All-Conference Team. The team placed second in the 212 Conference and was seated fourth in the District. Play came to an end for the team with their loss to KMS in a tough and close game in the District Tour- nament. There was no way of stopping this shot by Joan Mulder against Olivia. Her terrific vertical jump enabled her to snatch many rebounds throughout the season. A-SQUAI) GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Eirst Row: K.
