They jump, they stretch and they manuever for position with protective pads covering their knees and elbows. Who are they? Just visit the gym during the winter months and you will likely find them nestled around a net, working hard, and doing their thing. These are the hardworking competitive members of the Junior Varsity Volleyball Team. If the team ' s overall record of 8-11 and 7-7 in the league is used to measure the success of their season, then by no means was it a great year, but Coach Joyce Harlukowicz was pleased. The girls made steady improvement on their skills all season long, and everyone worked hard, and I really appreciated that, explained Coach Harlukowicz. This team was a young one made up of eight freshmen, five sophomores, and two managers — Melissa Grow, and April Kashcner. Freshman Carrie Reff said, It was fun, because we all became friends. One of the team ' s most treasured games was against Royal Oak Kimball. The Maples outlasted the Knights in three hard-fought, closely-contested games to win the match. Another gutty performance occurred against the Southfeld Blue Jays, when the team fell behind early but fought back to overtake the Blue Jays, 16-14, 15-8. Sophomore Molly Roberts explained, We had a lot of good saves and that ' s what helped us to come back and win the game. While talking about the team in general, and what she felt was their greatest strength, freshman Chelsa Reff explained, I feel that our greatest strength was our team spirit. The team ' s leading players were sophomore Captain Kelly Holden, and freshman Libby Peters. In assessing the season. Coach Joyce Harlukowicz asserted, The girls were great, they never quit or gave in even when ' the tough got rough. ' They still kept trying to play good ball until the very end. 210 JV VOLLEYBALL

But unfortu- nately, not for the Freshman Volley- ball Team. How many times have you listened or read of stories where the underdog roars from behind to overtake the first place team and seize the championship on the final day of the season? The script was reversed for the freshman team as the Maples grabbed the top spot by ripping off six wins in their first seven games, only to fall into second place after suffering late season defeats to Royal Oak Kimball and Webb Junior High. We were a good team, recalled Michele Vander Brug, but when we lost we would play down at their level. The freshmen managed to overcome their opponents early on, but were devastated as the final games slipped away, along with their hopes of a championship. It was crushing, a real let down, conceded Molly Abramson. But she added, The thing that counts, in the end, is that we did our best. The final season defeat to Webb Jr. High was an especially bitter and heartbreaking loss, as the team dropped two tightly contested sets. We knew it was our last chance at the season victory, said Vander Brug, so we tried to play together. But Webb was just a little ahead of us. By stressing the proper execution of the basic fundamentals of bumping, setting and spiking, the team posted a respectable 9-4 over-all record. Never was this sound execution and solid team play more evidenced than in sweeping past a tough Kimball team in two games, 15-13 and 15-12. We were all psyched for the Kimball match, explained Abramson. It ' s much more exciting to play against a good team than a bad team because it makes it a challenge. It was close at times but we pulled it off and won, The Kimball game indicated the obvious abundance of talent possessed by the team. In his 18 years of coaching volleyball, this team certainly stands out in Bill Schmidt ' s mind. This is one of the best teams I ' ve ever coached. They ' think volleyball ' and use their skills while they are on the court. Not many of my teams ever did that. 212 FRESHMEN VOLLEYBALL
