The Warm Springs Bravettes
took second place in the
Nisqually Women’s Basketball
T o u rn a m e n t d u rin g th e
holiday weekend of February
13-14. Fran Moses, current
Washington State University
student, and former starting
guard coached the team as well
as led the offense and defense
on the floor. The tournament
was the first of a busy season
ahead, ultimately leading to the
N IA A natio n al finals in
Spokane, Washington.in April.
The host team, Nisqually,
suffered an immediate defeat in
the Bravettes’ first game.
Moses and Wanda Jiminez
each contributed 12 points in a
56-50 loss to a tall Seattle team.

numerable “mystery” fouls
forcing a careful defense. The
Seattle loss dem oted the
Bravettes to the losers brackett;
demanding a five-game Sunday
schedule to stay alive.
In a Sunday morning game,
the Bravettes bench, Aurolyn
Eaglespeaker, Jackie Estimo,
Brenda, Tonya Mitchell gave
the starters a breather, while
compiling a win against the
young Muckleshoot team, 13-

The Warm Springs women,
determined to be champions,

stealing and intercepting passes
at will.
Beating Seattle, 54-46, the
Bravettes advanced to two
championship games against
an undefeated Taholah squad.
Game one found the Warm
Springs basket-bailers running
w ith an d p a st T a h o la h ,
winning easily 71-57.
Given 30 minutes to change
¡socks and quench their thirst,
the women were ready for the
final championship game. The
score was close throughout, but
in the fourth quarter, Taholah
was ahead by six points with
one minute remaining. Moses
fouled out and the team was
physically burned out. A
sudden burst of energy on
defense led to two steals and
lay-ins by D anzuka and
Jimenez, with 30 seconds
remaining. An intentional foul
in an attem pt to regain
possession of the ball resulted
in putting Taholah up by three
points. Using time outs to rest
and regroup, the Bravettes
sought to tie the game. Out of
gas and out of luck, Taholah

winning only by three, 47-44,
The loss was an disappoint
ment after enduring an all-day
tournament marathon.
In addition to receiving a
second place trophy, Danzuka
and Deanie Johnson recieved
All-Star jerseys. The fast feet
and quick hands of Wanda
Jiminez earned her the Ms.
Hustle award. High Scorer, in
a single game, was Fran Moses,
with 19 points against Taholah.
Moses stated that the team
d id well f o r th e f ir s t
tournament of the season but
needed work in conditioing and
playing together. The Bravettes
have received invitations to
tournaments in Los Angeles,
P e n d le to n , L apw ai, and
Wapato, but have yet to decide
in which to participate. In the
meantime, fund-raising events
are scheduled to raise money
for entry fees, accomodations,
and travel expenses.
See you there!
