Cardinal High School 1982 Yearbook (Eldon, IA) - Full Access

COMETTES HAVE The 1981-82 Girls Basketball team faced many new challenges this season. The first challenge was adapting to the role of an independent because the Blackhawk Conference disbanded. The second challenge was being placed in the Class 2A (large schools) for tournaments. The third challenge was fighting a losing tradition. Two of these three challenges were met with success. The team finished the season with a 14-6 record. The challenge of the 2A Tournament fell short when the season ended with a 73-49 loss to Ottumwa. Graduation will take three players from the squad, guards Frances Gray and Anne Hamilton and forward Debb Swanson. Frances set many records during her career at Cardinal. All three contributed to rebuilding the program. The outlook for next season is bright. Many young, but experienced players return with the goal of back-to-hack seasons. 1.
