When people think of basketball at Stone, they usually think of the boys' team. But, not only have the girls reached respectability, they have become a threat in the Gulf Coast Conference, as well. Under the leadership of Coach Georgian, they led a balanced attack and played a spirited game typical of a Stone team. The girls started the season off with a bang with an early win over Vancleave and by capturing the Brooklyn Tournament. Although they suffered a few disappointments along the way, the girls' team also conquered many opponents and finished their season with more wlns than losses. While tr in to recu erate from injuries, Y 9 P Susan Cooper and Sandra Parker watch the action from the sidelines. 110 SportslBasketbaIl fifa 3 A
