Separate But Together The Varsity Volleyball Team Sets an Example for Others Using Cooperation I got it! This was an expression heard often throughout the course of a varsity volleyball game. All of the players practiced sev- eral hours every week to produce the successful team they were and finished the season with elev- en wins and five tosses. Coach But- ler said, They each were commit- ted to the game of volleyball. They were super! Outstanding players included Lynn Sebring, Lyn- ette Briggs, and Laurie Varner. However, each girl contributed her own talents to the team. A successful volleyball team In a tense divisional game against Chaparral, varsity team members pre- pare to receive the volleyball. consisted of more than just dedi- cated and enthusiastic players. They had to work together to achieve their goals. Varsity volleyball players were also wing to help out freshman and JV teams. Since al levels of volleyball players were working towards the same goal, they learned from each other's past experiences. Coach Butler stated, Each level, JV, freshman, and varsity, shared a close bond. They were all working for the same goal — to be number one and repre- sent their school well.
