GIRLS VARSITY BASKETBALL ti' N,-ss -9 ,..., Y ...,,,. Wx V W rl, Y at . 1 , ,, i -...M-Q M W , MMM, ,SS,M W Every year, when the air begins to become cold and those first snow flakes start to fall fit never failsj, that orange ball appears once again. This year, the girl's varsity basket- ball team was right on schedule. Coached by tea- cher Chris Holleran, the eight member team struggled in an effort to reach the CIF Cham- pionship. The varsity team had many close games: the teams greatest success was the home game over Twenty- nine Palms. Coach Holleran named Melanie Laich as the outstanding player in the gameg Laich scored twelve points and made sixteen re- bounds which certainly con- tributed to the Diamondback victory of 35 to 34. During the season, the team had a second win over the Sher- man Indians, 35 to 22. Junior Melanie Laich was named Outstanding Player by Coach Holleran for her ex- ceptional number of re- bounds throughout the sea- son. Junior Becky Quinn also played well with an average of seven rebounds a game. Senior Mary Louise O'Brien was outstanding in steals and three point shots. Although this year was not the team's best season, next year appears hopeful. We had a lot of close games and played some good defense, commented Coach Holleran. There were a few young players on the team, but as the year progressed we be- came considerably better. Next year looks really opti- mistic. One varsity team member added to this good spirit, Although the season was hard and we didn't have very many wins, it was really fun. People on the team worked hard and our coach always encouraged us to do our best. by Susan Ashworth Joanne Meek gives it her best shot. Melanie Laich reaches for the ball, in a tough game against Yucca Valley. Becky, Mary Louise, Melanie and others realize that there's more to life than just basketball.
