HEADS! The Main Vocabulary Of The Girls Volleyball Team When entering the girls gym last volleyball season, watch out! Balls were airborn everywhere and al- though someone usually had con- trol of it, the possibility of it sud- denly changing direction was al- ways there. The fourteen girls on varsity and fourteen on frosh-soph volleyball practiced five days a week until four in the afternoon. Their matches were held weekly against the other schools in our district. The most important things, began their coach, Ms. Thompson, are team work and team unity, if they do not play as a unit, it doesn't work.

That will be essential to their success. Last year the teams season was hurt by player injuries but this year they got through it smoothly. The team is a year more experienced than it was last year and we have a lot of new talent that will bring up our standings in the league, admitted varsity player Diane Bertagna. The matches are when all their hard work pays off. Each Tuesday and Thursday the girls got to show their stuff and hopefully come out the winner. For varsity this meant Sophomore, Soko Ofahulu concentrates on teamsmates play.

This may have sounded simple but it wasn't! Volleyball took a lot of team work to produce something to write home about. The group rightnow has a potential of being a good team if they work on their skills and develop them through the season,', noted Ms. Thomp- son during pre-season. Volleyball is a tough sport but it is also re- warding. Connie Sullivan added from years of experience that volleyball was really funli' Heads up!
