.V. Volleyball Has Great Potential Finishing third in the tough Coast league, the Junior Varsity Volleyball team showed tremendous potential as a future league threat. Comprised of seven freshmen and two sophomores, the Mustang squad lost only to Laguna Beach and Corona del Mar, ending with a 10-4 league record. Under the play of captain and setter Stephanie Web- ster and Most Valuable Player Joanne Lux, the squad played consistently in league and almost defeated the Sea Kings in second round action. The team, 'fthe most talented group of players to come into the school together, also participated in the Huntington Beach High School Junior Varsity Volley- ball Tournament. Freshman Kathy Mollica was named to the All-Tournament team. Anticipating the change in league next year, Coach Bill Bill Silva hopes to have the squad attain a second place finish or possibly upset the Sea Kings for the championship. ll Karen Yehch and Pan1 Bagmad bkmk an opponenfs mnke 25 Linda hdaul puts the ballsuccessfuHy over thc net 3l Sue Oullette sets up the play for Joanne Lux. 43 Setter Kathy h4olHca saves the baH and passes for an offen- Mve auack.

Waterpolo Successful, CDM Defeated, 10-7 The Varsity Waterpolo team of 1977-78, once again, finished with an excellent season-16-8 overall and a 7-1 league record. Led by Bob Dolan's record setting 109 goals, John Olsen's consistent play at set position and Ron Fross' excellent execution throughout the year, the Mustangs finished second in league, losing only to league champion University-and that in a 4-3 overtime thriller. Coach Terry Bowen's Mesa team also placed in the top five in the Northern California Stanford Tournament for the second year in a row. Plagued by injuries early in the year, junior players had to fill in. Alan Chacon, Matt Whitmore, Matt Sponagle and goalie Mike Castillo provided the poloists with a good pre- league record and a ninth place ranking in CIF. This ex- perience will furnish a superb nucleus for next year's team. The highlight of this year's season was the varsity defeat of Corona del Mar, 10-7, in an exciting exhibition of excellent waterpolo at the Sea Kings, pool. Varsity players met prior to this contest and decided to dedicate the game to outgoing Coach Bowen. All members of the team would like to thank Mr. Bowen for the time and effort he put into the Aquatics program here as well as wish him the greatest of success and happiness in his new position as head coach at Questa Junior College.
