LADY JACKETS DEFEND THEIR COURT The 1981-82 women's basketball team finished the season with a 12-13 record. Leading the lady cagers was Coach Sandy Schlappi. Leadership within the team was provided by the captains, Laurie Butler and Val Whisler. The 1981-82 team lost one starting player, senior Laurie Butler. In spite of the loss, the 1982-1983 team looks promising because the rest of the starting players will be returning. Like all teams, the women's goal was to win; but the more important goal was to glorify God in their games. After each game the players gave tracts to the opposing team. As a result of this ministry, a professor from Ohio Northern University and an opposing player from the Bluffton team accepted Christ. The Yellow Jackets reached their goal of glorifying God above and beyond what they had ever thought. Photo 1: Teri goes for two.
