Junior Varsity works on goals and togethernessg Big win over St. Gerards A junior varsity team is one seen as hope for the future varsity teams. The cur- rent junior varsity team fits that expecta- tion perfectly. The team was predicted to do very little in their districtTl'heyjust set a season goal to improve their team with hard work, and playing together. Their main problem was inexperience. But the team improved as the season progressed. Their goals became higher, as their win column grew. The girls eventually won their district title with a win over the Mar- shall Rams. Their final record stood at 19-6. The junior varsity made for some games The season overall was a lot of fun. I real- ly enjoyed my teammates and the coaching staff. -Carla Rangel, Junior. B4 J.V. Basketball that rivaled in excitement to those of varsi- ty girl's games. One that stood out in the mind of Coach Janice Miller was the game against St. Gerards. lt was pressure pack- ed and required two hours to play. The clock malfunctioned in the second quarter, and due to neccessity, time had to be kept by stopwatch. Robin Blumbhart was in- jured in the game, an injury that required seven stitches behind the ear. The game grew so close, the girls went into overtime. But they pulled it out and won 44-46. The junior varsity gets a last minute strategy ses- sion, and a cheer before the start of a game. ct-E ,J X Junior varsity basketball Jay 52-53 Edgewood 63-30 Marshall 41-39 Jay 54-30 St. Gerards 46-44 Holmes 62-40 Marshall 56-49l Edgewood 48-29 l
