plagued by injuries and illness
during the first half of the season,
got off to a good start in the opening
game of the second half by defeat-
ing Northwest Rangers 78-32 at
home.
Coach Kit Karuza explained that
he believed having all of his players
back inspired the girls to play
better basketball. Angie Kern, out-
standing player on defense, has
been out for several weeks with a
sprained ankle and bone chips and
Eileen Walsh, out for the first half
due to illness, have returned to the
team. Although these girls are not
100 percent in shape, Karuza
expects them to work back slowly
and before long be in top condition.
Karen Vioedman, hampered by shin
splints and Joann Cook, out for
several games because of an
injured hand are back in the lineup
and near 100 percent healthy.
TWO OUT
Kern and Walsh sat out the first
half in the game with Northwest but
came in the second half. Kern
scored two-for-four from the foul
line and Walsh tossed in two from
the playing field.
hitting 27 points, 26 of them from
the field and one-for-one from the
free line. Vloedman hit 16 points, all
of them from the field with 12 of
them in the first half. Kim Rinehi-
mer hit the double figure column
with 10 points, four of them from
the playing court and two-for-four
from the line.
Karuza said that even though the
Northwest girls competition wasn’t
the toughest competition, his girls
played one of the best games this
season.
Barring further illnesses or inju-
ries, Dallas should be strong con-
tenders in the second half.
TWO TOUGH GAMES
The Lady Mountaineers have two
tough games this week with GAR
scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 28, and
Crestwood, home, Friday, Jan. 31.
Coach Joe Martini’s young Lady
Knights of Lake-Lehman did not
fare too well as they were downed
51-29 to a strong Seton Catholic
team. Despite their loss, however,
the local girls improved in their
play, losing by only 22-point margin
as compared to their 39 point loss to
the Eagles in the first half. Despite
cutting the margin of loss, the
Knights did not play as strong a
defense as they did in games at the
end of the first half.

each getting a basket and each
connecting on a three point play to

the fourth overtime but the Rangers
closed it to 43 each by tossing in two
points before the buzzer. In the fifth
period, O'Donnell tried a long jump

scoreless. With only four seconds
left in the sixth overtime, O’Donnell
tried for his 25-foot shot from the
same spot he attempted it in the
fifth. The difference was the ball

nell’s fourth basket of the game and
the Dallas win. oe
