n PEAKING T THE RIGHT TIME WOLFPACK GIRLS ENDED THEIR SEASON IN VICTORY Chosen as pre-season favorites with four starters returning from the '79-'80 season, the '80-'81 Varsity Girls Basketball team knew deep down that another successful season was ahead of them. Although experiencing a shaky start, the team fulfilled most of the pre- season predictions. The girls got off to a slow start. The team was almost too talented. There were so many good ballplayers, that Coach Hagglund had a hard time finding an unchanging starting five. Because playing times varied for the girls, consistancy was a problem. The team beat some very good teams, yet lost to some weaker ones. They finished with only a 16-14 record, but they knew they could do better. lt was a relief to everyone when the Varsity members were: FRONT ROW: Lucia LaFIeur, Calle Gonzales, Ruth Milan, Esther Lindemann, Anita Krejcig BACK ROW: Coach Karen Hagglund, Kerri Rutt, Pam Baker, Lori 'real' girls basketball team showed up for the Region VI tourney. The team overcame previous difficulties and many of the younger girls matured. They roared past Monroe and Lathrop for a state tournament bid. The girls made a strong showing in the Region title game. They led by as much as nine points, before in the third quarter key players fouled out, finally surrendering the game by three. At state our girls made a very respectable showing by taking fourth. They trampled Ketchikan in the first round before losing two close games to the eventual state champions Kodiak, and the Bartlett Bears. Congratulations to Lori Meier who was selected to first team All-Region, and to Helen Schruf and Pam Baker who were selected to the second team.
