Senior Girls Win Polk County Tournament The Senior Girls are the type of team that makes a Coach’s job easier. They undoubtedly have had more spirit, hustle, determination, and love for the game than any team I have previously been associated with. They have not only shown achievement on the court (17-5 before the District Tournament) but have also proven to be good achievers in the classroom where they have earned a B+ average. 35 1977 Homecoming David Ashcraft.
