Lack of experience plagues team he girls basketball team went through a long conference season that ended with 1-11 and an overall record of 1-19. The team. pla- gued by inexperience, includ- ed 2 seniors, 8 juniors, and 1 sophomore. l really wasn't that pleased with our overall record. We had the talent, but we just couldn't manage to combine it all together, said Junior Jill Armour, who was known for her outside shoot- ing. The team's captains were Lynn George, senior, and Tarshwa Cooper, junior. They helped motivate the team by keeping up spirit. We tried to keep the team going through the tough season. We thought it was important to keep the team together so that the los- ing record wouldn't get us down, said George. At regionals the girls played theit best game of the season although they were edged by Eisenhower by a score ot 30- 28. Mr. Sam Keenan was in his first year as head coach. I was pretty much pleased at the progress. The girls' team was young but they learned the fundamentals well, state Coach Keenan. The sophomore team, under the direction of Coach Terry Wells, compiled a record of 9- 9. Coach Jan Eaker and her freshman team ended with a 12-4 overall record. 5- E Qi 'fb ..

1 ff R 5 1 5 ,fig Karczewski rolls to state tourney he sound of pins falling at Fairlanes in Dolton was heard as the girls bowling team rolled its way to a 4-6 conference record. The team consisted of one senior, one junior, six sopho- mores, and three freshmen. The season was a valuable learning experience for most of the team since we had only one senior. Overall, the ladies performed quite well the last three weeks of the season, commented Mr. Michael Bor- tel, coach. Karen Karczewski, fresh- man, was the only bowler to advance to State. She placed 40th in the meet and ended her season with a 161 aver- age. lt was a great exper- ience l will never forget. I never thought of making it to State my freshman year. Even though l did not place that well, I hope to excel in the fu- ture, stated Karczewski. The bowling team placed third in conference, and Karc- zewski was named all-confer- ence bowler.
