e fe a t e d the Indians soundly 15-5, and 15-7. It looked like the Rebels were off to a good start. Towards the middle of the season, the Rebels faced their cross town of a district powerhouse, Trinity, 15-6. When we beat Trinity, everybody was over- whelmed, we really felt great, commented Denise Rains Cseniorj. Unfortunately the vic- tories were few and far be- Tami Hutsell Qjuniorj. These girls not only proved to be good athletes but also leaders on the team. Through all the misfor- tunes and problems the girls faced, they never gave up. The feeling that a victory was just High expectations broken by inconsistency rival Haltom. The Rebel girls defeated the Buffs 15-9 and 15-13. Although the girls defeated the Buffs, Denise Rains fseniorj commented There was no real emo- tional change. The up and down season was highlighted by the defeat tween. The eleven girls on the team were a big challenge to their opponents but lacked consistency to overcome their attitudes as well as their adversaries. Coach Powell said the Rebels' best players this year were Denise Rains fseniorj, Karen Martin fjuniorj and around the corner followed the Rebels, but the victories weren't there enough, still, they werer1't quitters, and held on until the end. As Kim Scott Cseniorj put it: We worked really hard this season, but it didn't come out in our record.
