Volleyball s season record shows improvement Marana's volleyball team ended this year's season with a 3-16 overall record, which is an improvement over last year. This year's team began the season with 27 members, three of which were seniors. This large turn out created a slight problem. Coach Linda Carpenter commented Marana had many talents, but never really concentrated on them, but with 27 members you just can't get around to them all. This year's varsity had seven members, which included four returning lettermen and three lettering. Also on varsity was a four-year team member and two-year letterman, Donnine Pierson.
