The girls started in non-district play by playing in three tournaments and trav- eling to different schools to bring home a record of 13-3. The team received a con- solation trophy in the Weatherford College Tournament with Donna Steele and Deniece Blount being named all-tournament players. Third place was received in the Decatur Tournament, and during the U.T.A. Classic Beth Blount received all- tournament honors. After a ten-day lay off during Christmas the cagers came out of district play with a 9-1 record. Azle became an obstacle after beating the wagonwomen in one of their last games, but Boswell came up on top in the play- offs for the district 3A-5 title. The team advanced to regionals by defeating DeSoto 76-41. The cagers ad- vanced to the play-offs in Athens to meet Center. During the first half of play the score seemed to be equalized for both teams, but during the final minutes the Pioneerettes pulled the game from Center's reach. Action 79
