Mccourt . gave an interview about his outlook for next -season. His first change has been to recruit new, bigger players for the team. Molly Huddleston will definitely join the Lady Jacks next season. She comes from Melvindale High, was on · the Allstate team, won ,honor- ·_able menti_on for her playing there, and stands six foot. McCourt · also has three more prospective players lined up · to be recruited .for next . , season, all who stand over six foot. His plan for these tall girls is to build a quick, tall, rebounding inside team. Mccourt expects the team to be able to achieve a full 40 minute hard-played game next 'season,. not like the sporadical- ly played games of this season where the girls may have play- ed hard for IO minutes and seem to ,lose concentration for 15. All in all it looks like the Lady Jacks have their work cut out foi; them next season, and we can look forward to some very exciting games. lntramurals offers new semes,er activities Since the start of . the suit. and· tow~!. second semester ina:ny intra- East Campus is open to -stu- .• mural activities have · been · ;d~nts r every Monday thru taking place.
