Staff Writer Besides an injury to a star player, nothing ruins a high school girls' basketball team's chances in the playoffs more than youth. Hart has had to deal with both this month. The Indians start freshman Ashlee Trebilcock and sophomore Brandi Kimble, and junior guard Amanda Patton is recovering from a dislocated shoulder A dislocated shoulder occurs when the humerus separates from the scapula at the glenohumeral joint.

Kimble scored a career-high 28 points in Hart's quarterfinal victory over J.W. North of Riverside, and Trebilcock has provided strong play at point guard. Patton, not yet at 100 percent, scored 10 points in the quarterfinal victory. ``We went 30-4 in the summer and those girls have played a lot of club basketball, so it's a lot easier than it used to be for younger players,'' Hart coach Dave Munroe said. ``Everybody is going to be nervous, but once the ball goes in the air, it's just another game.'' Hart takes a 25-4 record into the game against 24-4 Westminster, a fairly short but scrappy scrap·py 1 adj. scrap·pi·er, scrap·pi·est Composed of scraps; fragmentary: scrappy evidence. scrap team that the Indians should match up well against because of the strong backcourt play of Patton and Trebilcock and the versatility of Kimble. ``J.W. North was a very athletic team and we don't think Westminster is any more athletic, but they play very well as a team,'' Munroe said. ``We need to match their intensity.''
