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
