Lady Lions Bury Mt. Alto
by Bernie Mixon
Women's Basketball
The Lady Lions were challenged at home by the women's basketball
team of Mt. Alto. In the first half, the Lions got off to an eight point lead,
and continued it to halftime.
The first half was characterized by many steals and rebounds. Mt.
Also played very well by playing a physical game and playing good defense.
In the second half, the Lady Lions came out roaring and lead their
opponents by twenty points. Mt. Alto seemed to lose the spunk that it once
had and made many costly turnovers and mental mistakes that lead to the 55 to
33 blow out and slit another notch into the Lady Lions' belt.

Olympians Need Support
by Bernie Mixon
In Calgary for the next couple
of days the Winter Olympics will be
taking place. To some this will be the
culmination of a dream come true and to
others it will be a last chance to catch
that dream of gold that has been eluding
them for so long.
The American Olympic Team
is historically more successful in the
summer rather than in the winter but we
still cheer them on. But fond memories
go back to just eight years ago when the
miracle at Lake Placid, New York, took
place. What miracle, you might say.
The miracle of the Americans winning
the gold medal in ice hockey.
The glory of winning a medal
is felt two-fold. First for yourself and
secondly for your country. The whole
Olympic Team in fact is representing us
-- Americans, and we as Americans
should show our pride in them by
cheering them on to victory. Maybe we
can't be there in heart but we can be
there in spirit.
Swathmore Swipes it From Capital

Capital VS. Swathmore
Swathmore proved to be a
challenge to the Lions as they engaged
in a physical contest right from the start.
Swathmore lead in the opening moments
of play by a mere basket but the Lions
came roaring back to lead their
opponents by ten points. The Lions
were utilizing precision shooting,
exquisite ball handling and a low
percentage of turnovers to lead at

hliftirre by a score of 71 to 69.
The second half proved to be
another challenge for the Lions and with
some questionable calls going against
the home team the game turned into a
physical contest. Many fouls and
turnovers were committed and the
percentage of team shooting dwindled.
This resulted in a 83 to 69 loss for the
Lions.
