BE ...
=i=r1'ss;
FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, THE LADY BULLDOGS BEGAN THE SEASON WITH NEW COACHES. THESE
NEW COACHES WERE KEVIN SIMMERMAN AND AMY
BLASER.
THE SEASON DID NOT GET OFF TO A VERY GOOD
START FOR THE BULLDOGS. THEY LOST THEIR FIRST
FOUR GAM ES AND DID NOT PICK UP A WIN UNTIL
THEY PLAYED CEDAR RAPIDS. HOWEVER, THE LADIES
WERE IMPROVING AND T HINGS BEGAN TO LOOK BETTER.
AFTER THEIR FIRSTWIN, THE BULLDOGS TAGGED ON
ANOTHER TWO VICTORIES, WINNING THE BENEDICT
HOLIDAY TOURNAMENT.
UNFORTUNATELY, THEY
LOST THE FOLLOWING THREE GAMES.
LITTLE HARD WORK, THEY
YET, AFTER A
DEFEATED THREE MORE
OPPONENTS. WITH A6-7 RECORD THE LADY BULLDOGS
WERE LOOKING PRETTY DECENT.
THE BULLDOG S, HOWEVER, FINISHED OFF THE SEASON W ITH A DI SAPPOINTING 6 LOSSES IN A ROW. THIS
WOULD PUT THEIR FINAL RECORD AT 6-13.

EVERYONE HAD FUN AND THE NIGHT WAS ENJOYABLE. THE STUDENTS COULD NOT DRIVE DOWN, SO
THEY HAD TO GET ON THE YELLOW SCHOOL BUSES
AND RIDE TO COLUMBUS.
"POST PROM WAS A BLAST, AND IT WAS BETTER
THAN LAST YEAR; SAID GREG JOHNSON.

DOUBLED. WITH THIS MONEY YOU WENT TO THE
