JV Lands Second In League . Varsity Rebuilds, Looks To Next Season Fifteen wins and only four loses! This record could be claimed by the JV Volleyball team. The girls had cause to boast about their impressive season, because it was one of the best records posted by any sport on campus. It was pretty good, because we came in second this year, ex- panded Tina Marsh. Although the varsity team didn ' t have as impres- sive a record, they put forth a great effort all sea- son. Their record was partly due to the fact that the varsity team was inexperienced. The experience gained this season will pay off next year when the team plans to have a great season. We can im- prove our record with hard work, extra training, better conditioning, and practice, practice, prac- tice, exclaimed Stephenee Murray. This is the second year I ' ve been on the team and we came in second both times. We all work together as a team, Linda Simkoff, JV player. Volleyball was a challenging sport. Not only did the players have to run and scramble for the ball, they have to set, spike, bump, and block it. The bump was used to control the ball to the setter after the serve The setter sets the ball up so it was easy to spike. Tel stop this, the opponents would try to block the ball at the net.

The team came in third in league and participated in CIF for the twelfth time of the fifteen years the school has been open. I think the reason that we (AHS football) does so well during the season is because of dedication and work during the off season, commented senior Mike Sylvia. The road to these accomplishments wasn ' t easy, affected by minor injuries and sicknesses, and despite It ' s always nice when you can beat the city schools. Jack Harrison, coach discouraging losses to Norco and Hemet, the Lions bounced back to defeat cross town rival, Ramona, 20- 14. The whole bouncing back theme was great be- cause it got the whole school involved in the game during the week which helped us defeat the Rams, explained senior Dustin Fitch. The 1987-88 season was one to remember for per- sonal performers as well as team togetherness. This year proved that working together can help overcome many odds. Last year we had more known name talent, this year we didn ' t have as many names , so people didn ' t expect us to do as well, concluded Coach Steve McNitt.
