They know that you skipped school to go to a Det Lep- pard concert. They know what your ACT scores are. They know you had a few fender-benders. They even know you registered for the draft. Now tell them what they don't know, or you'll have some very grave conse- quences to face. They'll test you, interrogate you, subpoena you, take you to court, and put you on the stand to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God. C'EST LA VIE! Since It’ the law. Damon Stephens, who turned 18 in December, fills out his draft registration card. Using Undersheriff Mark Kendrick as an ex- ample. Eric Deyle demonstrates how a police officer determines if a driver is intoxicated during a roie play in government. Chris Martin and Jack LaFay casually discuss Chris's chances of getting into the college of his choice one lazy January afternoon. Jess Worm experiences the hot seat as he is grilled by a KBI agent and a Stanton County sheriff's officer during a demonstration interrogation. Convincingly portraying Genevieve LaFrance, Chris Brown explains how she was violently struck by a speed- ing car during the govern- ment class mock trial A band aid on Kristy Bixler's Toyota is a constant reminder of senior vehicle mis- haps. Kristy reminisces with Kelly Gepner about another date with fate — their ren- dezvous at a Def Leppard concert in Wichita. You Shared Troubles, Dreams, Hopes, And Anxieties. You Planned Your Futures Exuberantly. You Recalled Your Past Wistfully T0 lH6SL You Said Good-bye. You lived through the humili- ation of rushing to class immedi- ately after the first bell when you were freshmen. You scrapped and begged for the money to pay for your class rings as sopho- mores. You managed to put off prom without too many hitches and show up for clean up after- wards as juniors. You even man- aged to accumulate enough credits to satisfy the school board. You did these as a class: All for one and one for all. Now you must pull off the grandest caper ever, you must go out and face what life has for you — ALONE.

Theatre-goers were treated to several excellent performances. Newcomer Erica Yates passion- ately and skillfully portrayed the feisty and flamboyant Flame Fon- due. Other particularly effective performances were given by Coy Martin as the knowledge- able lawyer, Adler Sheridan, and Yolonda Scholl as the highly agi- tated elder sister, Eloise Ainsley. Other fine cast members were: Monte Yingling (Jerry Delvin), Stacy O'Bryan (Dave Fescoe), Aaron Anderson (Buzzy Burdett), Jeri Lyn Hulburt (Theodosia Travers), Karla Sipes (Zita Van Zok), Tammy Brown (Lucretia), Amanda Sandoval (Connie Travers), Jamey Jones (Pippi). and Tony Boehs (Mauvins). The action revolved around solving the will of the late Josiah Travers, who was murdered by one of his close associates. Josiah left his will in the form of a rebus puzzle, which included clues to his murderer. When the will was deci- phered, everyone discovered the betrayer of Josiah's trust and friendship. Bone Chiller was directed by Kraig Dexter and Kerrin Smith, as- sisted by Susan Pierzchalski. Stu- dent directors were Lyn Kendrick and Shelli Goertzen. — Copy and layout by Shawn Browne Thinking hit diabolical scheme is going to work is detective Dave-Dan (Stacy O'Bfyan).

A rapt audience listened as Shelli Goertzen and Diane Nicho- las described the cover stories selected by each candidate and escort. Lyn Kendrick wanted to appear on the cover of National Geographic ( I'm the rarest form of animal a human can find ), while her escort chose Woman's Day because he could make any woman's day. National En- quirer was the choice of Kim Heb- berd ( It's for people who really want to know ). However, her escort. Coy Martin, said he se- lected Play Girl because he wanted to be respected for his body, not just his mind. Class attendants were fresh- men Nancy Wilkerson and Cayle Goertzen, sophomores Jennifer Cockreham and Todd Barber, ju- niors Mindy Brown and Bill Haney.

Junior bodies cascaded out of a haphazardly decorated grain truck and sophomores crammed stem to stern onto a motor boat. Freshmen packed on a trailer, and faculty boarded the back of a pickup. Sublette Larks were dis- played in cages for public con- tempt by Pom Pon squad mem- bers. A more spirited parade Stanton County had not seen for several years. Both Fall and Winter Festivals contained a week full of crazy costumes. The fall theme was re- lated to Halloween. On Favorite Halloween Costume Day, stu- dents came to school dressed from punkers 'to clowns. Winter Festival Spirit week, however, had no theme, but students re- sponded more enthusiastically to days such as Shady Toppers, '50's, and Trojan Jammin'. Friday's pep rallies provided the most excitement for the spirit weeks. The Fall Festival pep rally started off with a gong show. Fol- lowing the gong show the senior escorts serenaded the candi- dates with You've Lost That Lov- ing Feeling. The Winter Festival pep rally featured a mini-Olympics. The senior candidates, escorts, and teachers were required to throw a paper plate for the discus, a cotton ball for the shot put, and push scooters for the bobsled. Meanwhile, the freshmen, sopho- more, and junior escorts danced the twist to La Bamba — Copy and layout by Tonya Bamdt Laffer sweaters, poodle skrfs, greased hair and the hood look appeared in S.C halls on 50 s day Spirit Week .

The 1988 homecoming queen, se- lected by the student body was ... Diane Nicholas, escorted by Scott Skipper. After the corona- tion took place, the queen and her court took their royal seats in front of a pink '57 Chevy con- structed by the Stuco and Pom Pon squad. A dance, DJ'd by Roger Weins, following the loss to Sublette, kept the student body in high spirits. The queen candidates select- ed were Shelii Goertzen, escort- ed by Monte Yingling; Diane Ni- cholas, escorted by Scott Skip- per, and Kristy Bixler, escorted by Chris Martin. Attendants included junior Shawn Browne, escorted by Brian Nicholas; sophomore Keri Duran, escorted by Chris Floyd; and freshman Jori Worm, escort- ed by JD Schweizer. — Copy and layout by Dyane Morris Patiently waiting for the announcement of the homecoming queen are seniors Shelii Goertzen and Monte Yingling.

EAGER SPANISH CLUB MEMBERS PREPARE FOR TREK TO MEXICO Ole! was the cheer of the ex- cited Spanish Club members when they heard about the sum- mer '88 trip to Mexico. To support their adventure, the Spanish Club had many fundraisers. According to Spanish Club sponsor, Faydean Fiss, the members held a workday in the fall, and spent two weeks before Christmas creating pina- tas which were sold at the Span- ish Club supper. Several were auctioned and rivalry among KU alumni drove up the price of the Jayhawk pinata to $60.00. Thirty of the Spanish Club members and six sponsors left June 3 and toured Mexico until June 10. Since not all members could go to Mexico, the club held a fiesta on February 20, featuring tacos, swimming, a movie, and of course, the ritual breaking of the pinata. — Copy and layout by Dyane Morris Left, Alex Partlda reaches sky high to grasp Smokey El Oso.

The main goal of the Kayettes was getting in- volved with the young ladies at the grade school. Each member of the Kayette Club chose two girls from the Johnson Grade School to be her kid sister for the year. The Kayettes imple- mented this project by sending their sisters cards for holidays and birthdays and by taking them skating at Ulysses. The Kayettes also organized a pumpkin-deco- rating contest for all the children in grade school. The pumpkins were displayed at the Senior Center for their enjoyment. At- tending the unit conference at Moscow, and serving refresh- ments at a school board meeting were other activities which the Kayettes participated in. Marylin Ruth, the Kayette sponsor, com- mented that the club received its first year charter. — Copy and layout by Dyane Morris The Kayette Club nckided. bock row Shown Browne.

Chuck Hottle, who sponsored Stuco, said, I thought it would be something new and interesting for the students and the commu- nity. Students and community mem- bers organized teams to com- pete in a round-robin tournament on March 25. Middle-aged dads romped over the girls' team while the boys defeated the faculty and went on to seize the cham- pionship with a win against the dads. Stuco took in $1700 at the gate for the event. After paying $933 for the Wisconsin trained donkeys, they will spend the re- maining $767 on scholarships for senior Stuco members. Stuco also sponsored dances and planned festivals with the help of the cheerleaders and pom pon girls. Mr. Hottle explained that Stu- co's main goal was to get stu- dents more actively involved in events and get ideas from them on how school can be improved. — Copy and layout by Shane Bonham Stuco Included, back row; Chuck Hottle, sponsor; Jason Davidson, Aaron Ander- son, Stephen Shepard Middle row Shew Goertzen, Lyn Kendrick.

Hege learned to accept lockers to store her books in instead of car- rying around a backpack. She felt very fortunate to get to go out for cross-country and basket- ball, through the high school, since in Norway, schools don't of- fer any sports. If a person wants to participate in sports, one joins an extracurricular club. When asked about something she thought was unusual, she said, Well, we don't have trailer houses. Before coming to Amer- ica, Hege had eaten only two hamburgers. People in Norway don't eat as many fast foods or watch as much TV. Last summer, for example, Hege said she prob- ably only watched a total of sev- en hours during the whole sum- mer. Hege planned to visit Wash- ington D.C. and New York before returning to Norway. While in America, Hege's goal was to see as many places as she could and learn how Americans live. — Copy and layout by Shane Bonham Foreign Exchange r -j STUDENT LIFE ' You wake up at night in a cold sweat, sit up abruptly in your bed, remembering a critical essay is due the next day.

As the grand finale of a unit on Greek mythology, the English III classes participated in a town meeting, set in Mount Olym- pus, the home of the Greek gods and goddesses. As Cupid passed out Hershey's kisses, the meeting began with each god or goddess presenting an action to be voted on by the townspeople. The sug- gestions ranged from building a cul- ture center (voted down) to legaliz- ing skinnydipping (unanimously agreed upon). Though the meeting may not have been typical of the real inhabitants of Mount Olympus, the junior class brought a whole new perspective to some old myths.

It affects the way people move, think, and act. Free-spirited sophomores are wearing bubble skirts, plaids, and stone-washed minis de- signed by Lee, Pepe, and Guess. Fashion is greatly influenced by movies. With each new box of- fice smash, a new fashion wave rolls in. Aviator jackets, boots, mili- tary garb, and crew cuts sprang up after the release of Top Gun.

Watching videos of news com- mentators enabled the students to learn what techniques public speakers use to achieve particu- lar reactions. To show them what they were doing well and what they could improve, Mrs. Shepard videotaped their speeches and played them back for the stu- dents to critique. Researching for speeches soon became the first priority. Students quickly learned that the more in- formation at hand, the easier it is to stand in front of people and give a speech. Consequently. SENIOR FACULTY WEATHER CHANGES They've weathered many changes since their arrival at SC: a new school, new rules, new administrations, etc ... They're the senior faculty members, teachers who have taught at SC at least since the first full year at the new school. Their seniority ranges from 26 to eight years. Ark Morris (26 years): P.E., health, biology, environmen- tal science, anatomy. Extra duties: cross-country coach. Teachers ACADEMICS the class spent many hours utiliz- ing all the resources in the library. Shane Bonham explained it like this, If you have enough informa- tion, it's not so bad. But if you don't know what you're talking about, you just stand there and go 'blub, blub, blub.' Since the speech class had only seven students, Mrs. Shepard put the class “on tour. They travelled to the grade school and read children's books to K-3 classes, enabling them to be- come comfortable in front of high school classes. The last project accustomed them to larger crowds and involved the presen- tation of several pantomine skits performed on the auditorium stage. — Copy by Jamey Jones track coach, senior class sponsor, National Honor Soci- ety.

Sadler. “Drafting,” says Troy Sadler, “is the most practical course I've ever taken. Mr. Sadler took two short summer courses at Fort Hays State University to learn how to run a computer drafting program called CAD. The CAD program al- lows students to make basic to advanced drawings more quickly and more permanently than on a drawing board. Students alternated between the drawing board and the com- puter, producing two and three view, pictorial, and architectural drawings. It has been a year of experimenting, said Mr. Sadler. “The kids have challenged their minds and mine too. Each student sent several drawings to the Southwest Kan- sas Industrial Education Exhibit in Garden City. Though there were only two students in drafting, Mr. Sadler hopes to have more next year and encouraged everyone to take the class. — Copy by Joy Hathaway Under the watchful eye of Mr. Sadler.

Students answered this and similar ques- tions in a new first hour class: Cre- ative Writing. For a half hour ev- ery morning. Dee Claassen pro- vided a relaxed atmosphere where students could express their thoughts and ideas on pa- per without being criticized. The students kept weekly journals of their writing and collected poetry found in books and magazines. The class started out writing limericks, haiku, and answerless questions (which is colder, an ice- berg or fear?), progressed to bal- lads and sonnets, and finished with short stories. Poetry topics ranged from Days of Our Lives and Supreme Court nominee Douglas Ginsburg to child abuse and suicide. The poetry and short stories were read and critiqued by other classmates and many helpful suggestions were made. The students participated in class projects including writing and illustrating a children's alpha- bet book. Mrs. Claassen entered student work in several contests. Keri Duran and Joy Hathaway re- ceived honorable mention and small checks for their entries in the Ossie E. Tranbarger haiku contest. Their haiku were chosen from 430 entries. — Copy by Joy Hathaway FACULTY ENDURES MID-LIFE CRISIS They're the teachers in the middle of the road. They're nei- ther old nor new.

Spinning the fortune wheel and guessing letters of names, places and phrases is a favorite of many. Inspired by the new smash-hit board game Pictionary, Mrs. Fiss encouraged her students to play the game using Spanish words. Password and bingo were also played this way. Mrs. Fiss believes that the stu- dents learn from these games because the atmosphere is a ca- sual one. There isn't as much pressure on the students to get the correct answer in a game as there is in a regular classroom situ- ation. Therefore, the students are more relaxed and capable of re- taining information. — Copy by Jamey Jones Nihad Zdrdstvooyti if Konichiwa 3; p 9 bc t by-Hr t e 0 i What do these squiggles mean?

The TI-IN program broad- cast over satellite made its debut at SC with four classes: physics, computer science, French, and German. The physics class was facilitat- ed by Kerrin Smith It involved a mainly laboratory oriented schedule because close personal supervision wasn't necessary. Mr. Smith enjoyed facilitating the class and thought the teacher did an excellent job explaining the lessons. He believes that the TI-IN program is a great opportu- nity for small schools to offer a wider curriculum. The language classes were fa- cilitated by Mike Toole. Mr. Toole commented that the students taking a language class via satel- lite must be patient and self moti- vated. Todd St. John was the comput- er science facilitator. Everyone can sit back and re- lax. Teenagers can (with a little practice) learn from watching television. — Copy by Jamey Jones Ar.

Anyone who deals with tenth graders on a daily basis needs to understand thoroughly the true meaning of the term sopho- more.” This word comes from the Greek forms of sophos, which means “wise and moros, which translates to English as moron.” Having taught wise morons for ten years, I offer this insight. Sophomores, of course, see themselves as wise ; actually truly brilliant would be more ac- curate. They, then, judge every- one and everything in terms of their superior knowledge. As near as I can tell, this scale has only four classifications: smart, stupid, dumb, and boring. Thus, “smart sophomores have only stupid parents, “dumb teachers, and boring” subjects. Any idea that was not originally theirs is stu- pid, all points of view but their own are “dumb, and any activ- ity of information that requires in- telligent thought is boring. By a ... “stupid parents, “dumb teachers, and “boring sub- jects. sophomore's scale, then, the great writers and philosophers — Shakespeare and Socrates — rank as stupid, foreign and an- cient cultures — Greece, Rome, and China — rank as dumb, and scientific knowledge — the splitting of the atom with all of its monumental social and techno- logical repercussions — is bor- ing. Interestingly, these smart sophomores, who have a smart answer for everything, ask very stupid questions. For example, after spending three days reminding them that the test is Friday, the sophomores ar- rive at the appointed time. As I hand out the tests, the inevitable questions begin: Is this a test? Were we supposed to study? What smart teacher could be “dumb enough to want a “boring test with “smart answers prepared by a “wise moron ... ? Do I have to take this? Who wrote this play? Do I need a pencil? Does the essay question have to be in complete sentences? Who was Marc Antony? How should I know what city this was in? Was Brutus in this play? Who got stabbed? And, finally, after three weeks of study and an hour of testing, I am inevitably met with a blank stare and a completed test and asked, Do you want this? Sud- denly, the true meaning of soph- omore becomes obvious. On the other hand, perhaps that eleventh and final question is not as stupid as it seems. There is actually true wisdom here. Think about it. What smart teacher could be dumb enough to want a “boring test with smart answers prepared by a wise moron who couldn't figure out the smart answers to his other ten stupid questions. As I take the completed test, I shake my head and reach the obvious conclusion. These sophomores are not the only “wise morons here. — Dee Claassen Freshmen (acuity btl, were St John, Kerr.

She also worked with HS and MS cheerleaders, demonstrated ballet, jazz, and modern dance in both HS and MS P.E. classes and taught grade schoolers about space aware- ness.

CINDERELLA Proves That Extravagant sets, exquisite costumes, and professional per- formances delighted the crowd gathered at the Stanton County auditorium on March 29 to see Cinderella, portrayed by Dyane Morris, put to work by her nasty stepmother and stepsisters. The musical was a Rodgers and Ham- merstein adaptation of the clas- sic fairy tale. The words of fairy godmother Erica Yates, It's Possible, ap- plied to the most ambitious pro- duction attempted by a high school cast in recent years. The vocal, home economics, and art departments coordinated efforts to achieve stunning effects in staging, music, costuming, and set design. Dyane Morris' Cinderella was tenderly sweet without becom- ing syrupy. The wicked stepmoth- er was played with great comic effect by Laraine Klassen. Angela Rector, an ugly stepsister, achieved an icy aloofness while Shara Ruth, as the other stepsis- ter, combined a goofy laugh with Chevy Chase falls to keep the audience in stitches. Aaron Anderson, as the Prince, charmed a bevy of marriage candidates and Erica Yates, the fairy godmother, cast a spell over the audience as well as Cinder- ella. Mike Snell, as the King, and Yolanda Scholl, as the Queen, provided comic relief as did the herald, Tony Boehs. Other kudos went to Jorge Sandoval for his magnificent castle backdrop.

The Class Of 1988 During graduation practice, Photo by Ann Davis Commencement exercises for the Class of 1988 began at 2:30 PM on Sunday, May 15. Most seniors arrived early to repair the damage a hot, windy day had done to their hair before trying to secure those exasperating caps. Most milled around, waiting, talking about their weekend par- ties or the graduation gifts they had received. All were preoccu- pied with concern for a junior classmate, Denise Troup, who had just entered a Wichita hospi- tal. As the opening chords of Pomp and Circumstance sounded, the seniors entered the auditorium for their last official appearance. Surrounded by a standing-room-only crowd, they were reminded of their special status by the flash of strobe lights as family and friends surged for- ward to snap that special photo. To welcome the audience, Monte Vingling, salutatorian, read a poem he had written himself. Teresa Adams, valedictorian, gave the main address and read one of her own poems as well. Two songs gave the occasion its most sentimental moments. A senior girls ensemble, singing We Must Say Good-bye, and Lyn Kendrick, performing Friends, brought tears to their classmates' eyes. After the presentation of diplo- mas, the seniors exited to greet an endless line of well-wishers. Many returned, however, for the awards assembly on Tues- day, May 17.

New coach Kevin O'Neill, who had the monumental task of making a team out of a group of individuals, singled out the win against Leoti at the League tour- nament as the highlight of the year. In that game. Coach O'Neill said that the guys made good shots and played very good de- fense. This was the first year not only for a new coach but also for the three-point shot. Both the coaches and the players liked the new rule. But Coach O'Neill confirmed that the only game in which the three-point shot made a difference for them was in the second game against Elkhart. — Copy and layout by John Clodfelter The basketball team included, back row Coach Kevin O'Neill.

Being pelted with ice at Walsh during the first game of the season tested the cheerleaders commitment and prepared them for a rigorous year. The squad of six newcomers and three returning cheerleaders practiced twice a week, made spirit posters, held a baked pota- to and salad bar supper, planned pep rallies, sponsored a Teachers Appreciation Week, and pro- vided a flower and messenger service for Valentines Day. The squad also attended summer camp at Emporia. Cheerleader sponsor was Julia Blair. — Copy and layout by Tonya Berndt Cheerleaders included, front row (JV=horizontal stripes): Angela Hebberd.

The squad celebrated its ten- year anniversary by inviting old members to perform. The girls also held a dance clinic for grade school girls. Besides dancing, the squad planned Winter Festival Spirit Week, held dances, bought a stereo from fund raisers, and at- tended camp at Hays in July.

These four seniors Monte Yinging and Stephen Shepard, junior Brian Nicholas, and sophomore Jose Rios — had together gone virtu- ally undefeated until regionals in four events: their 400-meter re- lay, Yingling's 400-meter dash, and Shepard's 100 and 200-me- ter dashes. Their effort at state brought them an eighth place team finish. In individual events, Monte Yin- gling won a scorching 49.07 400- meter run to take the first place medal. The relay placed second with a time of 44.49; their defeat by Sacred Heart was their second loss all season. Stephen Shepard, in blistering competition, placed fourth in the 200-meter dash with a time of 22.9. Another outstanding senior who did not qualify for state was distance runner Ramon Ybarra. The boys team throughout the season placed in the top four schools at most meets. The boys team was coached by Ark Morris, and was assisted by Art Carruth and Deniese Barber. — Copy and layout by Shawn Browne The boy track team included, back row: Head Coach Ark Morris, Stephen Shepard, Jason Davidson, Brian Nicholas, Chuck Steckman, Jim Malone, Monte Yingling, Assistant Coach Art Carruth.

Debbie's time of 2:28 in the 800- meter run was her best time this year, even better than her sec- ond place time at Regionals. Debbie, a senior, qualified for State all four years, and each year medalled in a different event. The small girls team had pinned their hopes for state medals on a mile relay run by Shawn Browne, Amanda Sandoval. Debbie Terrill, and Misty Case. A disciplinary in- fraction involving a team mem- ber kept the girls from running at Regionals and scuttled the chances for the team to qualify for the state meet, the first time in SC history that the girls mile relay did not qualify.

And I had to play with the top two golfers in the state! Aaron commented about his second experience at the State meet. These two athletes consistently placed among the top golfers in Southwest Kansas throughout the season. Aaron brught home, medals in eight of ten tourna- ments, and Guy Martin medaled in seven of ten. At Regionals, they placed second and fifth respec- tively. In addition, the team's only senior golfer. Coy Martin, me- dalled at three meets. Of nine meets where the play- ers competed as a team, SC placed among the top three schools at six of these. The team had three first place finishes — Garden City (362), Leoti (341), and Hugoton (342). They placed second at Sublette (337) and League (342), and third at Lakin (178). While Anderson and Martin maintained the best averages (41 and 41.5), almost all team members shaved a stroke off their average, according to Coaches Larry Hoopingarner, Dave Roach, and Roger Picker- ign. — Copy and layout by Dyane Morris and Tonya Berndt The golt team included, back row Mi- chael Snell, Jared Moore, Guy Martin, Aar- on Anderson, Coy Martin, Brandon Fisher, Cayle Goertzen.

The administration tries new projects every year to help increase academic standings. This year it was a satellite costing roughly $14,180. It has enormous op- portunities which are limited only by our own imaginations, said Dr. Roger Pickerign, super- intendent. The satellite Ti-ln system of- fers a variety of classes rang- ing from Japanese to ad- vanced physics. It also offers 200 hours of programming for grade school students. Another feature of the sys- tem is the opportunities it offers for teacher training. According to Dr. Pickerign, Ti-ln allows dis- trict teachers to talk to some of the top-notch educators around the U.S. via telephone. The satellite is also much cheaper to operate yearly than it is to pay the yearly sala- ry of a teacher. The expense is practically cut in half. Thirty-four states nationwide are turning to satellites for a greater variety of classes. But with all the advantages of a satellite, there is still a negative side. A student loses the hu- man touch and open counsel- ing which helps a student get to know his or her teacher per- sonally, said Dr. Pickerign. — Copy and layout by Shawn Browne 4 Showing off the new satellite, left, are Jack LaFay. counselor; Chuck Hottle. prin- cipal; Roger Pickerign. superintendent.

When faculty decided middle school was a time for students to try as many exper- iences as possible, allowing any- body to participate seemed like a logical extension of that philosophy. Compared to last year's six cheer- leaders. this year there were eigh- teen. Nine were chosen for volley- ball and football, the other nine cheered during basketball. Keren Duran sponsored the squads. — Copy and layout by Shane Bonham Left, the fall cheerleaders demonstrate a mount, and the eighth grade volleyball team displays their first-place league trophy Below, seventh graders pose with coaches Daniels and Pickerign Short in size, but big in heart, the football team concentrated on working hard and learning the basic fundamentals to prepare them for high school. They will have a good understanding of the game, said Larry Dasin- brock, head coach. He was assisted by Da- mon Moorman and Patrick Stanley. Taking first place at the league tournament was a feather in the caps of the eighth grade girls. During Teri Daniels' seven years as coach, her teams have never won a first place trophy at that tournament. The girls ranked second in league play overall. The seventh grade team placed third in the league tournament and was coached by Deyonne Pickerign. Coach Daniels stressed different skills with each team.
