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.

Team works very hard together his year's Freshman Vol- leyball team had a new coach. Ms. Ann Beisser is new to Central this year. She brings with her spirit- ed enthusiasm to ignite the team and anxious observers. Coach Beisser said that, This year's freshman team has im- proved a lot from the start of the season. They practiced two hours a day, working on bumps, sets, and spikes. Coach Beisser stated that, The team started to work as a team, and if they stay together, they might have a chance to go to state in future years. The years ahead for the freshman team look great. They still have a lot to learn, but did well during the season.
