Hopefully thcv also ended the season with a hunger for next year’s comf union when they can return as "seasoned veterans." The four freshmen, four sophomores, and three juniors should come back the strongest in this area. While the squad will lose a valuable member in graduating senior. Clayt Sowl, it should have enough experience to carry on. ahead of where they left off this fall. 69

GIRL S VOLLEYBALL 1ST. YEAH TEAM BRINGS HOME REGIOXALS The newly formed girl’s volleyball team has reason to be proud of themselves. After netting up a seasonal record of 7 wins and 7 losses, the team got it all together to become Regional Champs. It was an exciting game when the girls beat both the Monticcllo Ponies and the Belleville Wildcats to bring home the title. At Sectionals, the inexperience of tournament play coupled with the loss of vital team members undermined team confidence to come home with I win and 2 losses. The girl’s arc looking forward to next year with hopes of improving their already good record. VARSITY: Top - K. Binder. 2nd row - B. Bandi. J. Krupke. Bottom - T. Black (Statistician). C. Steindorf.
