V isions of being a member of the Varsity Team kept Junior Varsity and Freshmen basketball players very alert and ac- tive. Both the Freshmen and the Junior Varsity teams had 3 tournaments which included Bay City, Toast of the Coast and Karnes City. J.V. ended the year with a 12-2 district record and a 26-4 season record while the Freshmen came out with a 11-3 in district, a 23-3 for the A team, a 4-2 for the B team and a 27-5 for the A and B.

G irls Basketball - words heard quite often at VHS. Basketball is a game played by many people, but just how often is there a team like theStingarettes! Thanks to the devotion and talent of the girls on the team and of Coach Jan Lahodny, the Victoria Stingarettes excelled to great heights. Their desire to be a quality team made them one of the best high school basketball teams in the state. The Stingarettes pushed their way easily to the state game against Houston Yates - a team who VHS had beat times before. However, the girls were upset by a devastating 2 pointsg the score was 56-58. Because of the closeness of the game, the loss was hard for the team and fans to accept, but no one could have been prouder of the Stingarettes for their excellence than the people at VHS. As the ball is thrown up, the girls wait and watch to see who will grab h k it. Cheryl Eichmann jumps high so s e can ma e Amy Alkek shoots as a girl from Duncanville tries to stop the shot.
