Serve . . . Set . . . Spike The girls Varsity Volleyball Team had an excellent sea- son. Not only did they physically abuse their opponents by spiking them to defeat, but tt y mentally abused them through teamwork. According to coach Sutherland who previously coached college volleyball, This didn ' t come easy. Sutherland was coaching her second year at El Dorado, and when asked about her team, she replied. Sometimes I was to tough on them (the team), but a good team needs to work hard and discipline themselves in order to achieve their goals. With a record of 23 wins and two losses, the team seems to have done it all. They served, set, and spiked themselves to a great season! Susan David leaps to make a scoring point.
