DEDICATION I IMPROVEMENT 64 WOMENS BASKETBALL, VARSITY BASKETBALL: Front row: Kristen Meister, Carrie Bonforte. Second row: Sherri Strate, Ann Livingston. Lisa l-lamson. Back row: Julie Coppens. Dawn Ringhand,' Kara Schmedding, Coach Stacey Warburton. t the end of their season the varsity girts' basketball team was measuring success not by their record, but by their level ol Improvement. Having two strikes against them from the beginning, the girls had a great deal to overcome. Forstarters, the girls didnt even know who theircoach was going to be until atmost the start ofthe season due to the transfer of the former girls' coach, Ed Burke, to San Dieguito High School. 'We drdn't even know who our coach was going to be until mid-November, and we started playing in toumaments and games in December, said junior starter Kara Schmedding, 1 This lack ot preparation time proved to be a major disadvantage tor the girls who in the past have participated in summer league games before even stoning In Palomar League games. A second disadvantage the team faced was lack of experience among the players. Out ot nine players on the team. most were under-classmenf' said coach Stacey Warburton. Despite the disadvantages, the girls were able to show great dedication and improvement. V In the short time they had to team the skills. they improved tremendously, said Warburton. 3 The general attitude throughout the team was one of determination. 7 The varsity squad had very close scores in the second round of league play, although they secured their only win against El Camino with the score ofdo to 41. i They played really well. and they were excrted that they won, said Warburton. When you lose that many games. it's hard to know what it takes to win. she concluded. I Although the team laced a tough season, none ofthe girls voiced a word ol complaint. Every single girl on the team worked together with the others as a unit. l l Team standouts were: runrors. post. Kara Schmedding, forwards, Sherri Strate. and Julie Coppens, and sophomore point guard, Carrie Bontorte. . l At the end ol the season Schmeddtng and Bonlorte each received a special honorable mention lor being outstanding players in the Palomar League. r The Junior varsity squad also had a strong season in temts ol dedication. Like the varsity team. they were only able to win one game, in which they proved to be l victorious over San Dreguito, Their other games were very close. I am very excited about the future ot both teams. said Warburton. We have so much natural talent that when the girls are seniors. they will be hard to - Lora Stowe , Kerry Grochowiak X
