Pace picks up Ia te in season The girls' basketball team could not overcome a losing first half of the sea- son and posted a l0-l5 re- cord. The Falcons started with a well-played game and a win over Mt. Assisi: howev- er, they then dropped their next four games and won only three of their first twelve. Costly tumovers and mental mistakes pla- gued us early on. We just couldn't get things start- ed, explained Coach Sam Kenan. The last half of the sea- son the Falcons started win- ning more games by play- ing as a team, and they re- corded four wins in their last six games. Practices became tougher and more talking on the court got us to start playing like a squad, said Julie Popu- lorum, guard. A highlight of the season was the winning of the Rich South Galaxy Toumament by beating Tinley Park, Washington, Crete Monee, and Joliet Central. Named to the all-toumament team was senior forward Tarshwa Cooper. Both the sophomore I4-2 and the freshman I2-2 teams finished the season by winning conference.
