Volleyball team takes fourth in state I The 1980 volleyball season began with wins for both the Varsity and J.V. teams. The girls took on Hot Springs here in Deming. The next match found the girls in Hatch; the Varsity won 15- 5, 15-2. The J.V. team also won but not by such a large margin; 15-10, 15-13. Both teams found victories at home games against Hatch and Silver City. The girls returned from the Mayfield tournament not quite as happy as they had hoped to be. They lost their second and third games and with them lost a seat in the tournament. Head coach Brenda Boone felt the girls started out just a little too slow but had hopes of their improving with each game. The Varsity team continued the good record, picking up wins against Tularosa, 15-5, 15-6; Ruidoso, 15-9, 15- 7; Cobra, 15-2, 15-1 and Silver City, 15- 5, 15-8. The J.V. team also continued winning with victories at Tularosa, Ruidoso, Cobre, and Silver City. The next match found the girls at Cobre with a win for the Junior Varsity team, 15-4, 15-4, but a loss for the Var- sity players 6-15, 12-15. At Ruidoso, Hot Springs and Tularosa both teams came up victorious, ending the season with the Varsity tied with Tularosa. This brought up the need for an extra game. The playoff game was in Las Cruces; the Deming Wildcats won both games; 15-7, 16-14. We showed how working together as a team can make a difference in a winning and a losing ball club, said Junior Anna Vira- montes. At the district tournament the Wild- cats won the first Match against Silver City; 15-5, 15-2. They fell to Tularosa, 15-7, 12-15, and 6-15 in the next match. Three Deming players made the all- tourney team; Annette Meyer, Carol Hooten and Glorianna Arzate. The State Tournament found the girls in Roswell. The first was against Los Lunas. The Wilcats came out on top, 15-13, 15-13. In the second game the girls were defeated by Portales, 14-16, 11-15. The consolation game played against Taos was very close. The ' Cats won the first one 15-8, but lost the sec- ond 15-7. The third and final game wasn ' t as close as the second. The Wildcats lost 10-15, ending with 4th place. It was a lot of hard work but having a winning season made it worthwhile, said Anne Knoop, which shows the girls ' spirits weren ' t damp- ened by the loss to Taos. 1.

Montvill heads girl cagers for 2nd year. I Se Micky Montvill, band teacher at Deming Junior High School, coached the varsity girl cagers this year to make it her second year in a row. The Cats started the season slow with some unfortunate losses but improved as time went on. The only three wins of the season were over Hatch 48-37, Ruidoso 43-40. and T or C 53-50. With only one senior, Becky Brown, the Cats were young and not as experi- enced as many of their opponents. The other eight members consisted of four juniors, three sophomores, and one freshman. Practice for the girl cagers began on Ocotber 26 and the season came to a close on February 26 when they were defeated by Tularosa in their first game of the District Tournament. The girls are eager for next year because they now have the experience that they lacked at the beginning of the year.
