Unity Brings Victory All for one and one for all. On the vol- leyball court, we ' re the six musketeers. We played with a team concept not in- dividuals doing their own thing, said Co-Captain Sherri Orr. This resulted in a 9-5 season and a second place finish in league. At the beginning of every game, howev- er, it took awhile for all to start playing as one. We were a comeback team, said Wendi Malone. Not until we found ourselves behind in the second game after having already lost the first did we pull ourselves together. The peak of the year came in the mid- season Los Amigos Tournament. That is when we played our best. said Tammy Harris. The team won 4 games, lost .2. missing the playoffs by three points. Sherri.

Frosh Soph Struggle Through Success. Something that has to be measured by oneself. Although the Freshmen team only managed six victories, the season had posi- tive aspects. We improved our skills. said Gina Susaeta. most valuable player of the team. We did better as the season progressed and got to know each other better. Everybody got a chance to play, making the game fun, said Shari Anderson. Improve- ment comes with playing time. Playing gives one a feel for the game and its pressures. The morale of the team was never hindered by their record. It is easy to start pointing fingers during a losing season. The Frosh- Soph players realized blaming each other for losses only creates a longer season. We nev- er had that problem, the team got along. commented Shari Anderson. The knees take a pounding in volleyball. Meredith Cline goes to hers to bump the ball as Gina Susaeta and Tina Zummo watch. Michelle Wentworth goes off balance returning a shot. Looks don ' t count, only the end result matters. Frosh Soph Volleyball 203
