IRLS' SPGRTS tcontinuedj 2 L This past year a new type of action was introduced to Southside. Students had a chance to see their own girls compete in six-on-six basketball. The Confederettes started out with a loss to Fay- etteville on December 2. However, as the season pro- gressed the girls improved closing with an overall standing of 2-9 and making it to the quarter-finals in a District Tournament played in Dardenelle, Arkansas. Coach James Pitts and Coach James Lemley worked with the girls every morning. They drilled the squad on all the important fundamentals. Mitzi Gibson summed up the season by saying Sure, we 'd like to win, but how We play is more importantf, Expressing a typical reaction to a foul call, Annie Powell stands dum bfounded Concentrating, Debbie Rush shoots a free throw at the SHS-NHS game. .V 5' I X. rf s Y- f, ., .::a..,.a.- ga' W WL lllll-Jllll Q QW Q T --f Q fi 42,3 W .3 Tension builds as one of the biggest games of the girls' sea- son begins.
