Imost Always I1 Top There were twelve seconds remaining on the board. The score was 35-34, Moore in the process of defeating Ed- mond. The Bulldogs weren't ready to quit though. During the last few seconds, the ball was shot, ending the game 35- 36. A great disappointment, but our sophomore girls still took second place at the Moore tournament. That was one of the only four out of seventeen games that were lost by the Moore sophomore girls' basketball team this season. They still came out on top with a whopping thirteen wins. Each player contributed well throughout the year, said Sam McElvaney, head coach, with outstanding plays at one time or anotherfl Freshman Rhonda Patterson played well both as guard and as forward. Other players from West were Deanna Young, forward, averaging 12.4 points a game, and Sherri Horst, guard. According to McElvaney, the girls learned a great deal even though they had a lot of pressure on and off the court. ALTHOUGH BEING DOUBLE-TEAMED by her opponents, Deanna Young successfully jumps above the others to make two points. 62 10th Girls' Basketball

Still VVY1111 ers The freshmen girls' basketball team strove to be the best by staying after school and sometimes practicing on weekends. They compiled a record of five wins and fifteen losses. We didn't have a winning season, but in many ways we were still winners by not giv- ing up on ourselves, individually or as a team, said Coach Cindy Bennett. There were several dedicated play- ers who did outstanding jobs, many over the course of our season and some before and after injuries. Kristi Lewis was voted the best hustler for- wardg Teri Smith, most improved guardg Teri Wattie, most improved forwardg Kayla Cook and Kim Pom- plun, best attitudeg Jayne Caffey and Ria Kiper, most dedicatedg and Mitzi McCoy, best sportsmanship. Coach Bennett felt that everyone, whether on the bench or starters, had been a plea- sure with which to work. DEE DEE Newsom shoots for the hoop.
