Ladfj £f)Lkm N B itk k CIF iris Varsity volleyball did f exceptionally well, Coach John Gipe said. The girls exceeded my expectations and I am pleased with this season. Gipe had good reason to bestow such praise. The team made it to the quarter-finals in the CIF playoffs, ranking tenth in the state and finish- ing with a record of 12-6 overall. We just missed beating Santa Bar- bara in the quarter-finals, but the team battled tough and never gave up, Coach Gipe said. The girls did not reach their goal of winning CIF, and even though Varsity lost in the Orange County tournament, Coach Gipe was still happy with the girls ' efforts. We did as well as we could. It was a learning process as we grew and improved. The varsity playoffs at Newport Harbor were a high-point of the sea- son where the girls played an in- tense, nonstop three-hour match. We had our backs against the wall because we were in a must-win situ- ation. The team battled through ad- versity and showed a lot of charac- ter, Coach Gipe said. Junior Megan Combs was voted second team all-league. Joinini Combs on the all-county team was senior Shelley Zierhut. Lainie Spenc c and Kathleen Sotter received honor- able mentions.
