Connie puts il in for another two points. Debbie and Kathy come to Connie's rescue. Coach Williams Comments: The girls' varsity basketball team enjoyed a very successful season this year, 1976-77 winning fourteen games and losing only six. That is a tribute to a lot of hard work and intense play on the part of the members of the Varsity. Members of the squad were outstanding too. Two members made All-District Honors and Honorable Mention. Enough cannot be said about Beverly Edwards, Player of the Year . Her unselfish play and team leadership were forever present during the season. She set a school scoring record with 399 points for the season. That averages out to better than I9 points per game. We are waiting and looking forward to our girls' varsity next year. 35

A WORD FROM COACH GRIFFIN: Shawsville High School was the site for the District Forensic Meet on February ll, 1977. Four schools in the Mt. Empire District participated. Shawsville High School Forensic team members included Jody Conner in Boys' Poetry Reading, Teresa Walters in Girls' Poetry Reading, Stanley Armstrong in Boys' Prose Reading, Nancy Tin- nel in Girls' Prose Reading, Sue Tinnel in Girls' Extem- poraneous Speaking and Butch Taylor in Spelling. All SHS contestants made first, second or third placeg our three first place winners and one second place winner competed in the Regional Meet at Buffalo Gap High School. After a successful Forensic season, the team has put away poems, prose selections and spelling lists. Their next project is to help organize an eighth grade Forensic team, at Shawsville Middle School. Then . . . we'll start preparing for and looking forward to next year's com- petition. We are confident of success, again, next year. 37
