THE OPPOSING TEAM By Heather Thomson The girls' basketball team continued to make great strides in becoming a more dominant team in the state. Under the leadership of tri-captains Erin Linehan, Jess Mulberger, and Heather Thomson, the team finished with a successful 18-6 season. With a young roster that included only six upperclassmen, the team was concerned with lack of experience to start off the year. State College completed a 7-5 record before finally finding its groove. The Little Lady Lions then soared to win eleven straight games, including two unprecedented victories over rival Altoona. The team went on to seize its second ever MAC championship. State College headed into the playoffs with high hopes, only to have them extinguished by Altoona. Nevertheless, the girls fulfilled another rewarding chapter in the history of State High
hoops. ~
