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

Ups And Downs Even though the ninth grade boys' basketball team had their ups and downs, the Tiger Spirit still remained. Being one of those times, the team held a record of two wins and nine losses. Even though the season record wasn't what the team wanted, accord- ing to Coach Jerry Smith, the team worked hard and performed together with understanding and patience. Smith felt the team's defense was of- ten poor because the players tried to hurry and choked. The offensive unit played very well. The Tigers finished seventh in the Moore Invitational Tournament and were defeated in the Western Oaks Tournament. The high shooters of the team were Gary McDaniel, shooting 31 points in the game against Edmond, and Kirk Lutz, shooting 19 points against Del Crest. The players who have improved the most were Todd Corn, Donny Evans and Paul Selig, said Coach Smith. They may not have won most of their games and there were times when they felt too down to get back up, but they never lost sight of probably their biggest goal, to con- tinue to compete as a team. MATT HOGGARD releases the ball in hopes it will be a basket. 9th Boys' Basketball
