Spartan Spikers 'FRUSTRATED' Madison Memorial's Prep Volley- ball Squad had quite an unfavorable showing this past fall. The Spartans pre-season hopes seemed to evapo- rate as they closed out their regular season with a l-l0 record. The unfortunate spikers missed a berth in the State Tournament for the third consecutive year as LaFollette de- feated the anemic Spartans, 2-l, in Regional Match Play. Coach Gary Humphrey admitted his frustrations over the season and concluded that his team lacked depth and height in its players. He felt that a lot of re- building was in store for the Spar- tans next year and also stressed the point that volleyball is played in sets - each set consisting ofthree match- es, and that his Spartans had won several individual matches over their opponents. The Freshman Squad, under the direction of Coach George Bulovsky, had a similar fate as his crew concluded the season with a 2-4 report. Coach Bulovsky felt that both teams exemplified determina- tion and effort but recognized certain factors which hindered the Spartans' success. The Varsity Team Members singled out Senior Paul Woit as their Most Valuable Player and chose Senior John Jackson as their Most Improved Player. Senior Steve Col- lins captained the Spartans through- out the season. The Most Valuable Player for the Freshman squad was Dan Graf and Mike Ayres was named Team Captain.

Tallard Sisters Lead Spartan Golfers Oach Gfcigwff Chris and Sue Tallard were the hopes of Madison Memorial's Girls Golf Team this past fall, The Spar- tans, in only their second year of competition, were faced with that age old curse which seems notorious for attacking so many sports, like this, in their early stages of growth and progress f that is, lack of depth. Only nine girls encompassed the entire Spartan squad. To remedy such a situation, Head Coach Bruce Gregg is attempting to establish girls golf on a strong basis at Memorial. Unfortunately, the Spartans expan- sion has been relatively slow, Origi- nally, only five girls competed on the team during the fall of 1972. With the addition of four more girls, the Spartans are established with the present nine team members. The talented Tallard duo, along side Mary Shultz, Ginny Ross and Laura Becker, comprised the girls compet- ing on the varsity level and tourna- ment squad. These girls along with four other teammates enabled Memorial to finish their season with a 4-5 dual meet record. The 1974 outlook is quite favorable. Coach Gregg is optimistic over the strength which is coming up from the under- classman ranks next season. He feels the team will be considerably strong- er and is hoping that Memorial will be able to host a large invitational next season to bring their competi- tion into the City. Apparently, Memorial and Madison West are the only girls golf teams competing in also very pleased with the closeness of his team and agreed that such to- getherness amplified everyones en- joyment ofthe season and helped to fulfill his goals as a Coach.
