ahlp in the FoothlUs Con
ference Tuesday by de
feating Bast Lincoln 80-16
In their season's finale.
Hie victory gave Coach
Becky Summltt’s glris a
Inal 11-1 record and a
share of first place with
Bums.
Sheryl Ooode and Diane
WlUlams led the KM
scoring effort with 12 and
nine points respectively.
Williams led the
rebounding with 18.
The Lady Patriots shot
only 80 percent from the
floor but played a good
defensive game. They held
Bast to only eight field
goals.
"Our offense did not look
too good at times,” said
Summltt, "but this was
due partly to Bast Lin
coln’s aggressive defense.
However, we made several
pretty plays and key
baskets on our fast breaks.
** Although WA wftiilrt
have liked to be In first
place all by ourselves, we
will have to settle for a tie
since we are not allowed to
have playoMi," she added.
"I am pleased with our
season and I am really
proud of these girls,” she
continued. "They have
worked hard, played
tough, and came out on
top. I was also pleased with
their conduct on and off the
court. They were good
sports and humble wlnnws
and It was a pleasure to
cosMh them. They are a
great bunch of girls.”
The varsity dropped Its
final contest, 62 -86. Bast
Uncoln pulled away after
leading by nine at half-
KM did pull within four
In the third quarter, but
mm Oladden and Debbie
Appling fouled out and
Bast broke the game
open. Oladden led the
KM scoring with 18 points,
Mary Moore added eight

The Lady Patriots
finished their season with a
8-8 record but the record
was not an Indication of
their style of play.
"We lost five baUgames
by five points or less,”
noted Coach Candy
Alberglne, "and many
times we found ourselves
behind early by as much as
10-16 points but came back
to play some tough
basketbaU.”
Oladden led the club In
scoring with a 18.0
average, Appling
averaged 8.7 and Andrena
Ooode 8.4. Appling was the
top rebounder with an
average of 9.8 per game.
At 6-6, she was usually
rebounding against much
taller opponents.
"I am very proud of this
group of girls,” added
Alberglne, "because they
showed a lot of character
by not letting some early
heartbreaking losses get
them down. They always
gave 100 percent and that
can be hard to do when you
have given it all you have
and yet fall short of your
goals.
"Coach Summltt and
myself believe we are
sending some fine talent to
the high school next year
and we know they’ll
continue to give the effort
they have given us.”
