Freshmen Getting used to Boswell is one of the first things a freshman must do, however, the freshman girls soon broke through the barrier and brought home a 7-9 season record. Since only four other district schools had freshmen girls' basketball teams, games were scarce but the learning experience was invaluable, according to Coach Debbie Biondi. The freshmen girls competed against Brewer, Azle, Keller, and Castleberry twice, and also competed against some local private schools. These included Fort Worth Country Day, Cleburne and Nolan High Schools. The young Pioneerettes gained victories against these three teams, Their record was 7 wins-9 losses. With so few games the emphasis was placed more on technique than on spirit. lVlelanie Glover's hard work paid off as she was named the leading scorer and Stacey Hjort as the leading rebounder for the team. Coach Biondi summed the year up saying, UOveralI it was a successful year, even though the scores don't show it, The girls improved greatly. .ff Q' F. 2 Sports 99

After a long summer of vigorous workouts, Boswell gymnasts faced a diflicult but promising season with both the varsity and junior varsity teams setting their sights on top competition in the region and eventually the state meet. The past year, changes within the women's team were made creating two varsity teams to compete instead of the conventional one. They competed against each other in most meets, however in the major meets the two combined to form one. This not only gave more members a chance to compete, but also strengthened the overall team. The year's men's team helded 25 members, with 15 being newcomers. The girl's division had a larger number of experienced members, and with the year's newcomers, the team's overall strength was heightened. -4 1' 5522 S9 12155 2:15 15 SX te M853 an x :fwfr sea :es 1 mg v. vi nic: at e
