A FRUSTRATING SEASON Frustrating” is how Coach Reinelt expressed her feelings about the '85 Varsity Girls Basketball season. Earlier in the season, I was quite depressed about the year, but as it rolled along, the team improved. They showed that they were improving with a great effort in the last game against Kalamazoo Hackett.” The Chiefs had an impressive season. Nevertheless, they wound up the season with a 9-11 record. In the St. Joe Valley Conference they ended up with a 7-7 record. Even though it wasn't a winning season, it was a season to be proud of. Records were broken in both offense and defense. Joey Wentzel led the team on offense by breaking the school's scoring record. Heather Phelps put in a good show on defense by breaking the school's rebound record. The Chiefs' most impressive game was at Centreville against Kalamazoo Hackett. Kalamazoo was ranked third in the state this year. It was a close game with a score of 44-38 in Kalamazoo's favor. Even though the Chiefs didn't walk away with the game, they did put up an impressive show to end the year. c d TO

CHIEFS RUN WITH PRIDE The Cross Country team had an excellent year. The top two runners were Stacy Kilburn and Steve Carter. Stacy placed 1st in class C competition in the state. Steve was 21st in the state. The teams ran five to eight miles a day in practice. At the meets, they ran almost three and a half miles. The meets were in tough country. The team ran around swamps, over hills, and through water. This was truly a tough sport. The team's best meet was at Union City. Medals were won by all but two people. All in all, the running Chiefs had a fantastic season.
