1982 Miracle Yearbook

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, Lau- rie Butler and Val Whisler. The 1981-82 team lost one starting play- er, senior Laurie Butler. In spite of the loss, the 1982-1983 team looks promis- ing because the rest of the starting play- ers 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 op- posing 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 Jack- ets reached their goal of glorifying God above and beyond what they had ever thought. Photo 1: Teri goes for two.
