 aJ BJ !i The 1986-87 basketball season was a fun and challenging year. Lack of experience was a big obstacle for the Lady Terriers. Aided by the leadership abilities of their upperclassmen, a young team pulled together to help overcome these roadblocks. Hard work payed, and the girls lost by no more than eight points in their six losses. Determination helped to bring home a record of 14 wins and six losses in regular season play.

- l -I TJ The climb to the State Finals was not an easy journey. Victories over rivals Seiling and 8th-rated Okeene were sweet, and earned the Lady Terriers a District Title. A narrow victory over Shattuck put the Terrierettes up against Laverne on Laverne's home court where the girls were defeated for Regional Champs. Going into the Area Tourna- ment in the loser's bracket, the Lady Terriers knew it was either do or die. Winning over Drum- mond, Cherokee, and Medford earned them a berth in the State Tournament. Defeating 2 Preston and 4 Tupelo put the Lady Terriers in the finals. There they faced the toughest opponent of the season, the Cheyenne Lady Bears. Rank- ed 1, and two-time defending state champs, the Lady Bears defeated the Terrierettes for the state title.
