Maintaining a positive attitude is of the utmost importance to any team, and while the team came up short in several games, they never gave up. For several members it was their First volleyball season. Both the new players and the more experienced players learned the value of hard work and team play. From these values they gained self-esteem and were able to maintain a positive outlook towards volleyball as well as life. For this each member should be congratulated because each member is truly a winner in life! in 28— J V. Volleyball

Nine players were selected for the cougar varsity volleyball team this year including seniors, Jodi Hale and Lisa LeGaux; juniors, Tracy Hackstock, Thelma Mason, Janel McLennan, Tina Hogan, Lisa Phillipp, and Barbara Davis; and sophomore, Darcy Phillipp. The team selected Janel McLennan as their captain. An outstanding player (bas- ed on skill, attitude, and or improvement) was chosen for each match. This player acted as the co-captain for the next match. Tracy, Janel, Lisa Phillipp, and Barbara were selected twice; Lisa LeGaux was selected once. Setting for the Cougars this season were Tracy and Thelma. Lisa LeGaux was the back-up setter as well as playing strong front row along with Lisa Phillipp, Jodi, and Dar- cy. Barbara, Tina and Janel rounded out the defense for the Cougars. Three players served over 90% this season: Barbara Davis, Thelma Mason, and Tracy Hackstock. The highlight of the Cougars volleyball season was their win over the South Ump- qua Lancers on the Lancer home court. Other exciting matches took place between North Valley, Phoenix, and South Umpqua (at home). Another highlight of the season took place at St. Mary s when a gorilla came in and sang to them before the match. The varsity volleyball team learned a lot this season and are looking forward to a more successful season next year.

The freshmen volleyball team was a col- laboration of not only various individuals, but of diverse personalities and abilities as well. However, to be a genuine team, in- dividualities must forfeit to the dependency and trust of others to create a cohesive unit. Only after these individuals recognize this fact can the team work towards specific goals of improvement. This year’s team not only meshed well, but through their unselfishness, they en- couraged and were supportive of each other’s personal milestones; Also they focused on the totality of the team.
