Life has been rough for the North Shore Tech girls hoop squad recently. As if battling for their first win hasn't been difficult enough, the Bulldogs have been doing it recently with a depleted crew. North Shore has played the last week without three starters and three bench players who have been out due to either sickness or injury.

"We're the walking wounded," North Shore Tech coach Maureen Robinson said. "I call our bench 'The Infirmary'."

Freshman point guard Heather Hicks hasn't found a way to cure her teammates, but she has made their absence more bearable. Hicks has hit double figures in each of the last three games, beginning with 10 points, increasing to 13, and hitting for 11 in North Shore's last game.

"She's a coach's dream," Robinson said of Hicks. "She's absolutely got some ability and has motivation and competitiveness. But more importantly she's a great sport, teammate and a super kid."
