B est season ever The team had a new experience since moving to the district with the five Corpus Christi schools, Kingsville and Alice. They play fairly well and offer us good competition, said Carla Bankhead, senior. The team had six returning let- termen this year, including Bankhead, Janice Davis, senior, Hazel Kitchens, senior; Dawn Parker, senior; Becky Barfield, junior; and Leandra Dean, junior. Head coach Carolyn Dornak ex- pected her team to do well and they didn ' t disappoint her. The girls have done a great job this year. They play an exciting basketball game and that ' s very entertaining, Coach Dornak said. Our biggest asset is that the girls are unified and ' together. ' They are for each other on and off the court, she said. We were disappointed to lose the area playoffs because that stop- ped us short of our goal. But, overall, we had an excellent year and I ' m extremely proud of them and sincerely enjoyed coaching them, Dornak said.
