Lady Rams Basketball This years Lady Rams basketball team enjoyed a successful season as they finished with a record of 15 wins and 8 losses. After playing a tough exhibition schedule, they were ready for Northern Tier League play with a 4-3 record. Two of those losses were to District 12 AAA Champions Montrose. The girls pro ceeded to win their first three league games and then lost 57-40 to eventual NTL champions, the Troy Trojans. When they won their next three games, they thought they had battled back to tie for first half honors only to discover Towanda had to forfeit their win over Troy because of a league rule limiting the use of a player to only six quarters per night. During second half action, the girls won their first two games before going into a slump and losing three in a row. They rebounded to win their final two games over Northeast and Athens to culminate their season. This years squad was led by a very good group of senior players. Marcey Zurn and Bette Knolles provided most of the scoring punch averaging 14.9 and 14.8 point pe gam espec- tively. Eileen Ottaviani stepped in and provided the team with capable leadership from the point guard position. Elisha Driggs also gave the team a good effort, usually as the first person off the bench. She averaged 5 points and 7 rebounds per game in this role and generally did an excellent job for the team this year. Juniors on the squad were Judy Huffman. Diane Mapes. Lori Shirk. Michelle Bradish. and Karen Smith. Huffman was the teams third leading score averaging 6.1 points per game and the second leading rebounder with an 8.4 per game average. Sophomore Dawn Ahern and freshman Stacy Putnam rounded out the squad as they split time between the JV and Varsity teams.
