Volleyball Setting Up for a Win JV volleyball players also generated en- ergy and enthusiasm with the expression “BIONIC in 1985. Although starting a tough season with all new players, the JV team showed its desire to win by consis- tently improving its game. Player Jenni- fer Bogart explains, It was really hard in the beginning, but when we got to know each other, things just clicked. We be- came like a family. During a game, the six players on the court were always backed up by the rest of the team and their fans. This spirit helped in games against their toughest opponents. Mountain View and Corona. To prepare for these teams in practice, the JV team worked drills in order to strengthen their weaknesses. All season, the JV team bettered its game, proving themselves to be dedi- cated players.

Varsity Basketball Jumping To New Heights It took more than great heights to make Varsity Basketball. Many of the ju- niors and seniors worked out during the off season realizing the intense competi- tion they would have to face in the winter. The team’s previous experience was an important asset. Many of the players had been playing hoop” since elementary and junior high shcool. The group had overall quickness and strength, as well as outstanding individual intelligence and leadership. As a result, they were able to work on a variety of floor combinations and develop team uni- ty. Coach McConnell commented, Hopefully our players will benefit in the future from the positive experiences as a member of our team.” (Continued on p. 104).
