After a slow start, they compiled a 7-2 record and went on to win the District Tournament ending the season 1 0-3.

Leading the team in scoring and generally setting the tempo, Norma was also a Co-captain. The other co-captain, Sharon Martin, led in rebounding and was second in scoring. The third outstanding partici- pant, Wilma Ricks, was a remarkable center and had several decisive baskets and rebounds in practically every game. Norma Moore goes for the rebound.
