This year the girls started the season with a disad- vantage because of a coaching change. Thelr prac- tice began approximately two weeks before their Hrst game as compared to four weeks as the other teams in our district. However, this disadvantage did not prove to be a hlndrance for long. Miss Turner said the girls demonstrated a lot of hustle and dedication in trying to make up those lost days of practicef' The girls went on to become the 1983 District VIII Champions, defeating all major oppo- nents.
