Freshmen find molto Door To success opens with Teamwork From early morning practices, To The almost non-existence of spectators on Monday nights, some Thought The freshmen got a bad deal. But, if anything, The freshman gals learned The impor- tance of teamwork, I Think that at The beginning we didn'T work well together, but we got to- gether Towards The end and started To work as a Team , said freshman Martelle Beethe. As The year proceeded, teamwork became Their motto. Coach Cin- dy Hamilton said, It has been a pleasure working with The girls be- cause They're an exceptional group. l've seen Tremendous im- provement, but our freshmen couldn't be at The level that They are physically without Coach Ziegler, who dedicated many of his early mornings To teaching Them The game of basketball.
