The Lady Falcons fashioned a 3-15 campaign with a very young and inexperienced club in coach Hostetler's first year at the helm. The locals also had the misfortune of key injuries and illnesses which hampered their progress throughout the season. Another factor for the poor won-loss record was playing in a very strong conference which included league champion Knox (19-2), Triton (19-3), New Prairie (15-5), LaVille (14-6) and Jimtown (14-8). Jimtown dumped highly ranked and undefeated North Wood in the Lady Panthers' own gym to capture the North Wood sectional title. The schedule was also dotted with perennial power Bremen, Plymouth, South Bend Gay, Rochester, Mishawaka, South Bend Riley, South Bend St. Joe and Porter County Conference champion LaCrosse. A rugged task for a very strong and experience quintet at best, let alone a dub with only one player possession any previous varsity game experience to speak of. Sixteen of the top 18 players return next year with only Michele Knepp and Marcy Glon being lost by graduation. Knepp led the team in scoring for three years and was selected as the team's most valuable player this year. The young Falcons scored 660 points in their 18 outings for an average of 36.6 points a game while giving up 968 points or 54.9 game mean. They scored a game high 59 points against Oregon-Davis while holding a very good LaCrosse quintet to just 42 points for a defensive best. Victories were recorded over South Bend Riley, Oregon-Davis and LaCrosse. Knepp, despite missing a couple of games due to sickness, led the squad in scoring with 203 points at a 12.7 per game dip. No other Falcon averaged in double figures. Junior Kim Ruby was second in scoring with 94 markers and freshman Tracy Legge had a seaon total of 86 points. Glon tallied 61 points, Tami Lidgard 47, Trish Rough 37, Jenny Oke 36, Katrina Hill 31, Jonna Johnson 27, Gerrie Schmidt 18, Christy Werner 8, Anittah Patrick 6, Renee Fisher 5 and Elyse Gingenpeel 1. Knepp also led the squad in field goal percentages hitting on 87 of 220 attempts for a .400 mean. Lidgard canned 65 percent of her charity attempts to pace the Falcons who went to the line 15 or more times. Legge topped the Glenn eagers in rebounding with 115 retrives for a 6.8 per game mean. Knepp helped in this department with 82 boards for a 5.1 dip per contest.

Oke was averaging nine rebounds a gave before suffering an early season sidelining knee injury. Ruby led the team in assists with 25. Only two players competed in all 18 games and they were Ruby and Glon. All other varsity players were either sidelined by injury or sickness for at least one game. Johnson, Lidgard and Schmidt all saw limited junior varsity action before moving up to earn starting positions on the varsity. Freshmen Patrick, Fisher and Gingenpeel also moved up from a strong JV team to make the tournament squad. In addition to Knepp being named the team’s most valuable player, she was also selected to the all-conference team. Lidgard was selected as the team’s most improved player anddd Schmidt claimed the mental attitude award. With the return of the bulk of this year’s team, the valuable playing experience gained and coupled with the success of the junior varsity, coach Hostetler is very optimistic about the upcoming season. However, he warned that all players must continue to work extremely hard in the offseason to improve on their basic skills if the program is to get to the level necessary to compete in the strong Northern State Conference and IHSAA tournament.
