The 1993-94 CHS Orphan Annies
racked up the first undefeated regular
season in girl’s basketball history.
Ranked as high as second in the state by the
Associated Press during the season, the
Annies out-scored their opponents by an
average of 23.5 points per game.
In the second to last game of the regular
season, leading scorer (16 pts.) and
rebounder (10), Summar Maines injured her
knee and would not return for the last game
or any playoff games. With Corrina Maines,
Angie Kelley, and Jodi Murray taking
control, the Annies won four playoff games
to capture the Sectional, and a home court
52-50 OT win over Jerseyville in the Super
Sectional.
The
29-0 Annies met Freeport (30-1) in the
quarterfinals at ISU in Bloomington. The
girls built up a seven point lead with just
2:37 remaining in the game, but couldn’t
hang on for the win. While the bitter defeat
ended the fourth Elite Eight appearance for
the Annies, the thoughts of “what might
have been” linger on.
