For the 1986-87 Girls Varsity Basketball team, people were stopped in their tracks. Even some of the players were sur- prised.

Camille set a new record for most as- sists in a single season with 147. In CIF. the Mustangs faced tough competition. In the first round, against Orange, the team lost 44- 50.
