58 Girls triumph Eight seconds left on the clock and Warsaw is leading by two points. A foul is called and Mor- land walks to the free throw line to shoot two free throws. If Stephanie makes these free throws there ' s no way Versailles can catch up in eight seconds. Stephanie shoots the first one and it rolls in. The second one is shot and it ' s all net, which puts Warsaw to a four point lead and the game ends with the score of 49-45. They said it couldn ' t be done. No one believed that the Wildcat Varsity girls could equal the record of the 1986-1987 squad of 23 wins and only 4 losses but they did. Seniors Kristi Burkhart and Angle Young along with junior, Sandy Parker, sophomore, Mindi Massey and freshman, Stephanie Morland were able to adequately fill the void left by the depar- ture of the past senior dominated club. A strong bench including senior, Rhonda Johnson (the enforcer) and Leanne Thixton, freshman, backed up the starting five in many tough situations. The team as a whole won the Kaysinger Con- ference championship for the first time ever! In- dividuals Kristi Burkhart and Sandy Parker broke many of the records which had been set in past seasons.
