Roundballers set new record; Sparkman leads team in scoring Finishing with a 5-9 record, the seventh grade basketball team actu- ally won fewer games than they lost. Although the team fought hard to the end of each game, they lost by a slim margin on several occasions. The most well-played game was against Northview. A new record of 59 points was set for the most points scored in a game. Setting another new record with a triple overtime game against Carmel, they lost on a half-court shot at the buzzer.

Snow shortens girls ' season; Total cooperation sparks team The snow took its toll on all of us, but it had a great effect on the eighth grade girls ' basketball team. Missing three games and many practices due to the weather, the girls came back to school out of shape. After the unexpected long weekend and only a few days of practice, the girls went against Westlane. Al- though it was close throughout the game, the girls came up on the short end with their first defeat of the sea- son. Total team cooperation and the de- sire to work hard put them back on their feet to defeat Northview the fol- lowing day. Another highlight was re- fusing a last second shot to hold on to the lead and end up defeating Cres- ton, 24-22. According to Coach Penny Clift, who has coached for three years, I have enjoyed this team immensely. Ending their season with a 6 and 1 slate, leading scorers were Debbie Ridgon and Lynne Coval.

Vanessa Lampkins (44) goes for a jump shot against Creston. Two wins against Creston highlight undefeated season Two wins against Creston high- lighted the seventh grade girls ' basket- ball team ' s undefeated season. Cres- ton was the toughest team they faced all season. The snow made their short season even shorter. The game against Ful- ton was cancelled due to heavy snow. The team ' s height, speed, and shooting helped pull the team through close games, but some games were almost lost due to lack of intensi- ty of play and poor free throw shoot- ing. Offense was led by Melissa Blake and Jenny O ' Reilly, who were the team ' s high scorers. Players who led in all areas were Vanessa Lampkins and Leslie Cox. According to Coach Mark Francis, Assistant Coach John Taylor ' s help has been a great plus for our team. SEVENTH GIRLS ' BASKETBALL. FRONT ROW — L. Patrick, G. Ford, T. Singhurst, M. Piercy, J.
