VOLLEYBALL lnexperience costs games It was a sad year for the two returning seniors on the varsity volleyball team. Senior Kathleen Hrozek said the players got used to losing by the end of the season. Coach Susie Lynch said the team's major weakness was its lack of experience. With only two returning let- termen most of the players were new to varsity compe- tition. Three injuries added to the problems with two start- ers out early in the season. Coach Lynch said the play- ers handled the situation well. It had an effect on the girls but not as great as it could have been she said. By the second round there were no bench because of the number of players out with injuries. The team had one victory at that time. The second round was all spirit and we tried to do better senior Lisa Tucker said. In that round the team won three of the eight games. We played as a team and the second time around we knew we could do it, ' she said. After placing last in the first round the team man- aged to end the season sixth in district competition with a season record of 4--15 and a district record of 4- Varslty Aldine Hastings Aldine Forest Brook Aldine Pasadena Aldine Baytown Lee Aldine Galena Park Aldine Nimitz Scores Aldine MacArthur Aldine Sterling Aldine North Shore Aldine Forest Brook Aldine Lamar Aldine Baytown Lee Aldine Galena Park Aldine Nimltz Aldine MacArthur Aldine Sterling Aldine North Shore Loretta Kirsch sets the ball up as Lisa Tucker prepares to slam the ball over the net . - . 0-2 ' - 2-1 ' ' - 0-2 ' - 0-2 ' - 1-2 . - . . 0-2 Aldine-Smiley 1-2 ' - 0-2 ' - ' 0-2 ' - 02 ' - 2-0 ' - 1-2 ' - 1-2 ' - 0-2 . - . . 0-2 ' - 1-2 ' - ' 2-0 ' - 02 162 Volleyball Below: Most valuable player Kathleen Hrozek selected second team all-distrirt pauses for a quick break after a play.

VOLLEYBALL Short bench hurts teams The J.V. volleyball team ended its season with 5-14 season and 5-11 district records placing seventh in district. Coach Mary Alice Justice said the team was hampered by a shortage of players. Good fundamen- tals was the team s main strength but the short bench outweighed its strength. The shortage of players made each team member indispensable to the team. If one or two people gives up it affects the whole team sophomore Debbie Schill said. The highlight of the season was the victory over North Shore. We only had six players and we beat Freshman Hours of hard practice paid off for the freshman volleyball team which tied for third in district. Coach Vicki Parks said she was pleased with the girls records of 12-7 for the season and 10-6 for the district. With only seven players the members had to sup- port and strengthen each other to play as a team. Coach Parks said the strength was good serving techni- ques. The highlight of the season was the victory over MacArthur after failing twice earlier in the season to defeat the team.
