1986 Miracle Yearbook

Rolling Ahead T he Lady Jackets of Cedarville had quite a season in 1985-86 under the direction of Coach Bob Fires. The team had a slow start in the beginning of the season, but Coach Fires did an excellent job encouraging and working with them. The second half of the season rolled by with a full head of steam. The Lady Jackets showed a lot of courage and persistence to come as far as they did in a short period of time. With the leadership of starters and co- captains, Karen Headings and Jewel Shroder, the ladies played strongly at the NCCAA tournament which they hosted. This tournament was the highlight of the season. The improved Jackets upset the No. 1 seed in the first game of the tournament. They battled closely in the second game, but lost the championship game. The ladies relied heavily on each other. One of their greatest strengths was the encouragements they received from each other and the hard work they put into the season. With an '86 record of 11-13, the Lady Jackets are expecting much more in next year's play. The returning players are determined to roll forward with a victorious head of steam.
