Reserves warm bench eniors . ominate ith 9 seniors leading the team the Lady Tigers ended their season strong. Although their 8- 14 record wasn't as good as the team had hoped, the girls really showed they had talent and skill at Dis- tricts. Beating Scottsbluff in straight sets, they advanced to the semifinals to face North Platte, They lost after three close sets but they fought hard. Junior Traci Ros- berg said, All season we thought we had a pretty good team but we just couIdn't prove it. At Districts we really showed'em how we could play. The team started out slow and gained momentum towards the end of the sea- son. Senior Jodi Taylor said, I wish we would have started the season better. We ended strong but we got off the ground pretty slow. Junior Debbie Hamburger said, lf we had the spirit and confidence we had at the end of the year all year, we would have gone to State. Positive outlooks helped the Lady Ti- gers overcome their opponents. Winning is important but if you don't enjoy what you are doing it's not worth it. said Coach Denise Teetor. The team tried to have fun while working hard. Senior Libby Szlanda said, lf you look at our record we didn't do too well but we had a lot of good times.

Hard work makes teams kills mprove he most important word in the sophomore and JV volleyball team's vocabulary was teamwork. Teamwork either makes or breaks Sophomore Angie Lewis said, lf we would have worked more as a team in- stead of individually we could have had a better season. Both the JV and sopho- more team had a 2-6 record. Although the teams lacked a winning season, they were successful in other aspects. l think we im- proved greatly even though our record didn't show the greatest results, said sophomore Tami Aldrich. All the sopho- mores played both sophomore and JV games. Another major win or lose factor was team attitude. According to players from both teams the attitudes were like roller coasters, always up and down. Sopho- more Heidi Hock said, When we were in- tense about our game we played really well. Sophomore Amy Ernst said, Our team attitude really dragged us down. Once we were defeated by it, it was im- possible to get the excitement back. I think we could have had a better 8 team. season if we would have worked together more, said junior Lisa Hofferber. The les- sons Iearned this year will help a lot next season. Sophomore Tami Aldrich said, l can't wait until next year. mproving fundamentals was the idea of this year's frosh volleyball team coached by Sandy Warner. The girls ended their season with a 5- 6 A team record and a 2-7 B team record. Freshman volleyball was the training period be- fore the girls hit the big time of the JV and Varsity levels. One of the team's goals was to win their conference. The girls won the first game but lost the championship. Amy Waddle said, I think we kept part of our goal and in a way we didn't. We did win the first game and although we lost the championship we made it that far. Attitude does make a difference. Kelly Buckley said, Team spirit is really important on the floor. It makes the players more confident, which helps the team in the long run. Cathy Storer ,.. , -.,.,,,.,..............s....... .... -.4 Gan.. .
