Clemens By TIM JEFFERY Journal Correspondent Most coaches in the Mid-State Athletic Conference agree Ashley High School's girls' basketball team is a notch above the rest, with several top players from the Class finalists of a year ago returning. The same can't be said about the Tri-Central Athletic Association, however, as Carson City, Lakeview, Saranac and Maple Valley are all strong bets to finish with winning seasons.

Two other area schools. Howell and Lakewood Lake Odessa, are also looking for successful years, with Lakewood standing a good chance to top last year's mark of 14 victories. The following is a look into the area's teams from the MSAC and the TCAA as well as Howell and Lakewood. Ashley: After a 23-3 mark and a trip to the state championship game in 1980, the Bears are entitled to a letdown, but Coach Carl Wayer has 20 wins in mind once again. Four key players from last year's runner-up in Class are back, headed by 5-foot-7 senior guard Denise Paksi, an all-league pick last season.

She's joined by returning forwards Lori Crumbaugh and Michelle Haruska and 5-8 senior center Tammy Howes. A fifth letter winner, Teri Bradley, plus sophomore guards Jill and Joan Wicke give the Bears added punch. Wayer also has a foreign-exchange student, 5-8 Anja Sames, who figures to contribute. Morrice: The Orioles managed just two wins in the Mid-State Conference last year, but outside the loop Zel Seidenberg's team posted a 6-4 mark. The starting lineup will feature four returning letterwinners, including three seniors.

The top player, however, is a junior, guard Kelly Bolek, an honorable mention choice on the all-league team in 1980. She's joined by 5-4 Betty Jo Mortimore in the backcourt. Up front, the Orioles look to 5-10 center Lisa Grinberg and 5-9 forward Karen Bishop to make them contenders. Ginger Steele, a 5-6 junior guard and Brenda Walker, 5-7 junior forward, also figure prominently in Seidenberg's plans.

Litomiskv never led the Marauders to a leaeue title, however, and it remains to be seen whether Sue Pearsall can key the Redwings toward a successful defense of the. 1980 conference championship, especially with four starters gone from the team that coasted to a 16-0 regular season record.

Ionia and Corunna have been tabbed the early favorites while St. Johns and O-E appear to have lost too much to graduation to repeat as the conference's top two teams.

Juniors up from the JV team expected to contribute include Lisa Mazzolini and Lisa Smith. Alma: Coach Ray Van DeWeghe says he faces a rebuilding task for the first time in many years, after posting a fine 16-6 mark last season.

Only two senior letter winners, Kay McDade and Chris Welch, are on hand, thus the starting lineup could include a pair of sophomores. McDade will start at forward. She'll be joined by 5-6 junior Phyllis Majors. Judy Hudecz, at 5-8, is the leading candidate for the center spot. Fellow sophomore, Shelly Frost, may be a starter at guard.

The Panthers should also get help from Welch and junior Kristy Dils-worth in the backcourt. Ovid-Elsie: Mary Hudecek may at times wish she could turn back the for no longer can she be certain of the 25 points and 20 rebounds Litomisky produced on a regular basis for three seasons. Lisa Clark, a 5-9 junior will be called upon to fill the empty shoes in the pivot. Seniors Lori Len and Tena Woodbury, both 5-7 and returning letter winners from the 19-5 team of a year ago should make Clark's task a little easier. Elise O'Donnell, a 5-8 junior must also contribute up front.

The Marauders' top player is Shawn Barclay, a 5-6 junior guard, who started last year. The other guard spot will be handled by freshman Mary Perrien or junior Kim Daniel.

Coach Kay Breining has a couple of bright junior prospects in Carol LaPointe, a 5-9 center, and Julie Cope, 5-1 guard. St. Johns: O-E isn't the only team in the MMB that lost a superb center.
