Debbie Appling pulled down a game-high 14 rebounds and Gladden added 18. (Joach Chndy Alberglne said she wasn’t pleased with the way her girls played, even though they broke their losing streak. "We only shot 31 percent from the floor, our shot selection was poor and we did not have enough patience on offense,” she noted. "We also turned the ball over 18 times and there Is no way you can do this against good teams and expect to win.” Alberglne said she was pleased with the perform ance of Howse, who played a fine floor game, dished out four assUU and stole the ball sU times. KM raced to a 16-6 first quarter lead, but lost Its momentum and had to hang on over the final three periods. “R was good to win,’’ added Alberglne, "but we can’t be satisfied with the way we played.” Diane Wllllama scored 14 points and Sheryl Goode 10 to lead the scoring for the Jayvees and the pair also combined for 31 rebounds. Coach Becky Summltt said she was well pleased with the entire team’s effort. Twelve other players took part In the scoring. “West Lincoln came out In a man to man defense, which was a surprise In the beglimlng,” noted Coach Summltt. "But once our girls settled down and started fast breaking It didn’t bother them. “I was real pleased with the way our girls looked for each other on the break, the good passes they made and the unselfishness they displayed. I was also pleased with the way the substitutes handled themselves on the court. They played almost three- fourths of the game and they kept up the scoring pace and also held their own on defense. "We have lour more games to play," she ccntlnued, "and If we play the type of ball we are ciqiable of playing, we could go undefeated. These girls are hard workers, great athletes and good sports, and I would love to see them go undefeated.” Shelby Wins, Blacksburg Plays Friday For Title jjimUAHWOD We Speclallxe In Fine Italian Food.
