tt SiviAshiNq ' ' GiRls TaUe Leaque The crowd was few in number, slow- ly increasing as the clock ticked the minutes before 8:00. Mistakes wer- en ' t uncommon, but after all this wasn ' t just any oridnary game. No quite the contrary, it was the game that would decide who would continue in C.I.F.- Big Bear or Diamond Bar. It began with high hopes for the Brahmas as they dominated the first game of play with an impressive 15-4 score. Yet they did not re- main this lucky as Big Bear overpowered them to win 3-1 . The Brahmas season was spectacular for the first year of playing. We did really well, said Pamela Ballan, junior. Ranked fifth in C.I.F. and co-champions in league, the Brah- mas finished with a 1 5- 1 record, losing only to A SMASHING ONE DOWN for a point, sophomore An- nette Johnson spikes while airborne. Annette started in nearly every game. A WITH INTENSE CONCENTRATION. Kathleen Mar- tin bumps the ball over the net. Kathleen was one of the strong setters for spikes. Chino, whom they came back to beat the sec- ond round. With such superstars as Cindi Smith and Kim VanHorn, the Brahmas proved them- selves undefeatable. We had alot of overall talent, commented co-captain Cindi Smith. It ' s not a one woman sport, everybody con- tributes. Held together by teamwork, the girls considered themselves more of a family than a volleyball team. We started off with little interest from the crowd, but we worked as a family, and we won, commented junior Kim VanHorn. The Brahmas expected to do even better next year, if possible. With all of their mem- bers returning, even Kim VanHorn, the injured star this year, they hoped to have a powerful team that would surpass all. Her loss hurt our attitudes and that ' s when we lost to Chino, We started off with little in- terest from the crowd, but we worked as a family, and we won. -Kim VanHorn, junior said Pamela. We all made up for it, we ad- justed. Kim and Cindi were both elected to All-league with hopes of doing the same next year. , ' 1 VARSITY VOLLEYBALL 15 wins. 1 loss Diamond Bar 3 Rowland Diamond Bar 3 West Covi na Diamond Bar 3 Alta Loma Diamond Bar 3 Wilson 2 Diamond Bar 2 Montclair Diamond Bar 2 Ganesha Diamond Bar 2 Chino Diamond Bar 2 Ontario Diamond Bar 2 Garey Diamond Bar 2 Bonita Diamond Bar 2 Montclair Diamond Bar 2 Ganesha Diamond Bar Chino 2 Diamond Bar 2 Ontario Diamond Bar 2 Garey Diamond Bar 2 Bonita Varsity Volleyball Recreation 107
