Varsity Volleyball he Varsity Volleyball team was a hard working team. They started practice three weeks before school start- ed in August, and prepared themselves for the games ahead. Practices were everyday for two hours and games were scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They worked mostly on serve re- ceive, said Coach Cathy Gonzales. The team has improved a lot this year and has come a long way from the begining of the season. With graduating seniors leaving, the Varsity team will be split and the re- maining members will be faced with the loss of key players.

J. V. VolloybalMFrosh Volleyball he Junior Varsity Volley- ball team this year was short on experience as well as height. Only six of the twelve girls played last year at the freshman level and only three of those six participated on a regular ba- sis. According to Coach Dean Hauf, The team did remarkably well against some very tough opposition. Katie Burns, Ellie Soller, and Sirena Cross, provided excellent leadership. Practices began in August and con- tinued every day of the week throughout the season. The girls worked hard to im- prove their abilities with exercises in- cluding stretching, running, setting, bumping, passing drills, footwork, spik- ing and scrimmaging with the freshman and varsity teams. Almost all of the games were decided by only two or three points and could have easily gone either way. Coach Hauf' s favorite aspect of the team was said to be, The great Central High spirit. The girls had great fun playing for the Central Bobcats.
