Girls' Team Posts 8-6 District Tally The excitement of playing in Boswell's new gymnasium and their trek down to Conroe were just a few highlights of the Boswell Pioneerettes' basketball season. Opening their regular season on November 19, the varsity girls traveled to Mansfield and Aledo where they picked up their First two wins of the season. The dedication of the new gym was a new experience for the girls as they faced Irving in front of a full house only to fall short of a victory. The team traveled next to Conroe, where they participated in the Conroe High School Tournament, in which they suffered defeats by La Porte and El Campo. Junior Mary Kay Winchell was named to the All Tournament team there. The team worked to get back on their feet as they experienced defeats from Cleburne and from Arlington Lamar and Bishop Lynch in the Arlington Classic. The girls got it together to defeat the Lake Worth Frogs 68-20. This year the girls co-hosted the Boswell Tournament in which they received second place after defeating Neumann Smith and Bonham, but fell to Lewisville in the final round. Senior Dana McElreath and Denise Charbonnet were named to the All-Tournament team. On December 17, the girls began district play by defeating Diamond Hill. But they next fell to the Azle Hornets by a 31-point deficit. The team ended the first half of district with a disappointing 3-4 record. In the second half, the team fought back to defeat all but the Azle Hornets and the Keller Indians, as they closed out the season with their record standing at 8-6. Leading scorers for the Pioneerettes were Mary Kay Winchell with 294, and Dana McElreath with 249. Leading in rebounds was McElreath with a total of 295, followed by Winchell with 249. This year's team will lose Dana Mclilreath, Susie Reece, Debbie Wagoner, Diana Wartell and manager Donna Reynold as graduating seniors. Returning to next year's squad with a lot of court experience will be Winchell, Theresa Bicknell, Charbonnet, Dayna Henson, Tammy Stafford, Karen Lomerson and Le Ann Trapp. Moving up from the J.V. for the last few games were Laurie Burgess and Cindy Reasoner, who helped with varsity chores and gained experience for next year. e ' I l if 7 4 . lil:-was l f ll ' 1 . -we-...,,-,L g V fiiililt. .- M MVK ,.,. ..
