Y ,. J ,. . Net Work The Volleyball Team finished the season with another perfect regular seasong three first-place tournament victories, including the county championshipg and, for the second year, a second-place finish in the state 1-A tournament. With eight varsity players returning and seven new players, most with at least a year of playing for the Junior Varsity, the team had more experience than ever before. Besides regular practices and games, the players worked on and improved their skills during a weeks trip to Floridag an invitational tournament with top state rivals Montgomery Academy and Cliog and a county volleyball clinic directed by Noona Kennard, coach of Bradshaw, the 1977 4-A state champions. The team's great success was due to the players' desire to win and to Coach lvlarbut's desire to advance the range of the players' abilities. Despite a lag in the sport's development in the county, Mrs. Marbut man- aged to keep the team in step with the rest ofthe state.

Basic Trainin For the first time in five years, Donoho fielded a B-Team football unit. Coaches Phil Johnson and Bruce Parris were in charge of the team which posted a 1-4 won-lost record in action against county high schools. The junior Falcons gained valuable game experience which will be helpful in varsity competition. Once again, the Football for Youth Falcons played their games at Ezell Park under the supervision of Coach Carroll Cato. After two straight years of losing, the baby Falcons pulled off a victory and ended up the season with a record of 1-7. Another relatively new team, the Junior Var- sity Volleyball Team, had a good season despite the tact that only one of its members had ever played on a volleyball team before, The team got an early jump on learning the ups and downs of volleyball by practicing this sum- mer with the help of Coach Karen Hester. The benefits of their long practice sessions showed i especially at the end ot the season when l Sonya Walley was placed on the Junior-Varsity All-County Volleyball Team.
