1974 Molly Stark League Basketball Champions BOTTOM ROW L.-R. - Michel Mitro, Jane Kershaw, Valerie Barber, Caren Quinn. SECOND ROW - Coach Abar, Candy Whitney, Maura Martin, Beth Bradley, Susan Davis, Donna Cross, Heidi Staib, Coach Kershaw. The Wilmington Girls' Basketball Team captured the title of Molly Stark League Champion's with a 6-O record for the first time in 10 years. They entered the State Tournament with an 11-1 record. The one loss was at Thayer, N. H. where the odds were 7-5. The Tour- nament games started off with a victory over Whitingham for the fourth time this year. The girls went on to the quarter finals where they gave Ludlow a good run but were defeated. So the girls basketball season ended but the girls went a long way and their season can be classified as successful.

The success or failure of a Junior Varsity basketball season cannot really be measured by the final season record. Although a rough indication of how well Wilmington did against teams from other schools, the true success of a J.V. season is measured by the develop- ment of the players.

For some of the players the improvement was slight, while for others this was a year of tremendous de- velopment. lt is likely that several of this year's J.V. players will be fighting for Varsity positions next year, some perhaps even for starting positions. It is only then that the true success of the 1973-74 Junior Varsity basketball season can be measured. 55 either. There are many happy moments though, when all the
