iris advance to Bi-District play-offs For the third consecutive year, the girls fought their way to a play-off spot. The loss to Victoria High made the Raiders settle for runner-up. They had to play the first place team from 25-5A District, the Alvin Yellow Jackets, at the Whar- ton High School gym. A pep rally was held at 8:10 a.m. on the day of the game to wish the girls good luck. The Raiders lost, however, 51-59. This was my first time playing in the playoffs, said Karey Janak, sophomore I was really excited about playing even though the season didn ' t last as long as we wanted it to last. I bet we were one of the best teams at Stroman, said Tresa Hermes. If everyone would have played up to their potential, we could have defeated the Yellow Jackets, she said. Sharon Whitby out-rebounded two Alvin players as Tracy Johnson helps block one of the players. Both Johnson and Whitby were recogniz- ed on the All-District team. Karey Janak and Tresa Hermes board the chartered bus for the trip to Wharton. Not only was Janak ex- cited about playing in the playoffs for her first time, she was happy the trip would be made on a comfor- table bus instead of the regular yellow school bus.
