Strong start fades to average season Starting off the season with while the freshmen team fin- four straight victories, the girls basketball team seemed on the way to an extremely successful season. However, the team dropped the next two games to Sand- burg and Eisenhower and con- cluded the season just above 500. Hlaooking at the overall season, we got off to a very fast start but didn't sustain our mo- mentum. We were a little in- consistent in the middle por- tion of the season, stated Coach Bill McGonagill. Qutstanding players for the season were Tammy Wells with an average of 20 points per game, Maria Siadek l3, and Vicki Griffin l0. We have learned that working to- gether as a team we can ac- complish much more, in terms of winning, stated Wells. For the first time sopho- mores and freshmen had sepa- rate squads. The sophomore team ended with a 9-7 record l56 Girls Basketball ished with a record of 3-9.
