GIRLS VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM COMES UP Frustrating, exahusting, and disap- poniting tells the story of what these ten girls went through, out on the basketball court this season. A short- age of height, experience, and pa- tience were main factors in not being able to celebrate many victories. But despite all the losses, these girls kept their heads up and showed up for practice the next day. They could have gave up when things got a little hot, but everyone kept their cool and stuck it out. Being a young and inexperienced team made it very difficult for these girls to go up against such opponents as Bishop Ahr, JFK, and Carteret. But they did their best they could and worked hard to improve their game. The lady Vikes had very dedicated and determined players. The only senior on the team, Michelle Leung, put some speed into the game with a lot of fast breaks. The rest of the star- ting five consisted of, Natolie Mould, Tami Smith, Amy Killian, and Lara Hrinkevich, all juniors. The outlook for next year looks very promising, with a lot of young players returning. If they can just get off on the right foot we will be hear- ing a lot more about the lady Vikes.

IV GIRLS BASKETBALL Mainly Sophmores and a couple juniors made up this junior Varsity team. Because of the small number of players on the Varsity team, the IV team had to suffer. Most girls played in both games to make up for the shortage of players. Having no wins hanging over the caused a very team all season, frustrating atmosphere.

Everyone delt with the situation the best they could. Being such a young team and hav- ing such a large Freshman team, all anyone can hope for is a brighter future. The coaches need time and a lot of enthusiasum to build a stronger, more satisfing program. -af' L, xxs ,aww ,,,,,... 1 Wa X Kelly harkins gives a head fake.

To some that may be a disappointing season, but not to these girls. They lost two games by only one point and another by five points. The girl's attitude on the team was very determined and positve. Most of these girls played on recreation teams together so they worked well with eachother. Each one of them enjoyed the game and it showed out on the court. Coach Duttrey claims if they all return next year these bunch of lady Vikes will be a real asset to the basketball program.
