Girls Persevere The THS girls' basketball team was coached by Mr. Larry Sandy and Mrs. Marla Olson. Their regular season record was 5 wins and 11 losses. They finished fifth in the league. The girls had a tough time in tournament play as they lost in the first round of the league tournament to Jackson Heights, and also to Valley Heights in the first round of the regional tournament. The seniors who were the leaders on the bakset- ball team were Debbie Guy, Beth Marriott, Sherri Sharp, and Brenda Dannevik. Although the squad did not have an outstanding record, they did have some individual honors. Sherri Sharp was named All-League, and Brenda Dannevik made honorable mention on that same team. This year the girls also received some new game uniforms to go with the new warm-ups they re- ceived two years ago. Right: Brenda Dannevik shoots a jump shot from the corner, while Laura Herpich tries to secure rebounding position on the opposing player. Below: Teresa Blanton dribbles the ball through opposing traffic as she turns on the speed. Meanwhile. Brenda Dannevik and Sherri Sharp begin returning to the offensive end of the court. V Above: These seven young ladies will undoubtedly make their mark on the Trojan record books in the near future as varsity stars. This year they comprised the THS girls’ B-team squad. Coach Marla Olson is first; Julie Blake. Barb Sutherland, Terri Clary, Connie Johnson, Brenda Boeh, Mendi Ashworth, and Mary Jane Middleton gained playing time and experience. 26
