Coach Loren Less takes a well deserved breather while his team is ahead. 5 Q Nubuk Leading the Raider fastbreak is Vanessa lanes. 116! Sports Stars from shadows While most of the state had their eyes on the bay's team, Reserve's girls basketball team was rolling to a very successful 14-6 campaign. Under first year coach Loren Less, the girls played an exciting, fast paced game which featured an explosive offensive squad. Leading the team was phenominal senior Vanessa Iones who scored 399 points and grabbed a team high 272 rebounds. Iunior Bonnie Mc- Donald, also a dominant force at the boards with 223 caroms, scored 214 points with her team high 46W shoot- ing from the field. Coach Less felt that with two girls who were both ca- pable of scoring 20 points a game, that most teams found it hard to shoot down the Raider's offense. Rounding out the biggest starting five in the Steel Valley , were juniors Debbie Batcha, Carol Thornton, and Darlene Williams. Because of their size and strength, the team averaged 47.1 rebounds and 49.6 points a game. Highlights of the season included three overtime victories over Lakeview, Champion, and Howland. The Raiders also finished second in the Steel Valley Conference with a 10-4 record. L. W . an + ff ...N 49' J-,,. ,-V if .4-rv f,..-f GIRLS VARSITY TEAM L to R: M. Wells, E. Carmichael, D.
