LaGrange Intramural Basketball Program is a Big Success! Page 4 The LaGrange Intramural Basketball Program began way back in December and with all the bad weather and missed days of school, some of us thought the season would never end. But end it did on Friday, February 29th with our tournament. I know that all of you want to join me in thanking our sponsors, Mrs. Barnett and Mr. Murray for the fine job they did in coordinating the whole program. A total of 58 students participated in the program; either as a player or cheerleader, and in some instances, both. There were enough girls interested to have two teams this year. The girl's games proved to be among some of the most exciting. Those girls playing for the Pacers were Carol Nalley, Sheryl Monohan, Cheryl Woosley, Pam Francis, Tina Carter, Allyson Adams, Barbara Steward and LeAnn Walters. The Cougar players included Nancy Crutcher, Melinda Watson, Julie Hardin, Marie Taylor, Kathy Lewis, Jackie Saunders, Laura Leidholm and Stephanie Kirby. It is our hope to have more than two girls teams next year. In the boy's program, we were able to have four teams, and the competition was fierce at times. The Bombers players included Mark Voit, Tray Rankin, Jason Dunn, Tom Melton, Allan Williams, Todd Palmer, David Huber and Troy Herrin. Those boys playing for the Hornets were Patrick Whitaker, Corey Simpson, Jimmy Orms, Brian Vowels, Steve Thomas, Brad Thomas and Rex Bloombach. The Dragon's team was composed of team members Scott Camfield, Darrell Taylor, Billy Amback, Bobby Sapp, Mark Robertson, Rodney Johnston, and Timmy Waits. The Indians team included Troy Woosley, Steve DeWitt, Charles Darius, Jeff Abshear, Carter Brown, Mark Brizendine, Richard Garner, and Lamar Hobbs. Cheering the teams on to victory were four squads of cheerleaders. The girls added a lot of color and excitement to our games. On the Indians squad were Marie Taylor, Jennifer Hochstedler and Lisa Hillard. Cheering for the Hornets were Melinda Watson, Tammy Valentine, Melisa Davidson, Tamara Arnett and Jennifer Westfall. The Bombers squad was composed of Allyson Adams, Stacey Cline, Evelyn Durrett, Julie Marsh and Carol Nalley. Yelling for the Dragons were Julie Hardin, Jackie Saunders, Kim Elins, Diana White and Patrice Smith. Our Intramural Tournament was a complete success. Many of the games were extremely close and exciting. The Tournament began on Thursday, February 28th with the Hornets defeating the Bombers by a score of 31 to 23 and the Indians winning over the Dragons 18 to 13 in the first round action. The tournament ended on Friday 
The LaGrange Link Page 5 Basketball (Continued) night, February 29th as the Indians defeated the Hornets by a score of 35 to 30 for the boys championship. The girls championship came was even closer, with the Pacers playing perhaps their best game of the season but eventually falling to the Cougars in a squeaker - 15 to 14. The first place cheerleading award was captured by the Dragon's squad. We are looking forward to next season with anticipation. We hope our present fourth grade students are eager to participate in the program next year. Finally, we thank all you parents who helped in supporting the program. We appreciate your efforts. | |
