Being the first team to play in the new gymnasium was a different and exciting experience for the girls' volleyball teams. Drops of water did not fall on heads and fingers did not sprain due to freezing temperatures as they had in previous years. And new volleyball equipment contributed to the quality of play by the girls. All of these factors combined to draw 40 girls out for the volleyball teams. Junior varsity team was comprised completely of first year players, while the varsity had nine returnees. lnexperience was the maior reason for the league standings of the JV team, ending with a 5-7 league record. However, against Lindhurst, the JV's pulled together as a team and beat them in both matches. Ms. Darlene Miller stated that the JV team would be 1 contender in next year's competition. Experience of the varsity volleyball team players was apparent during the season, as they came from behind in several close matches to win. With a 7-5 league record, the varsity team placed third in league standings. Ms. Miller concentrated on special techniques, such as spiking and new formations. Special drills and new exercises were all part of the daily after school workouts. Two of the biggest problems faced by Ms. Miller were obtaining transportation for the teams and getting officials for the matches. A Q 41 325351 --:. I '- 1 P 9 FRONT ROW: T. Simmons, D. Cook, S.

Coach Randolph kept I9 players on the roster this season-seven seniors Isix of which returned from last year's teaml and I2 iuniors. The strength of the Indian team, according to Coach Randolph, was the outfield, the best outfield MHS has ever had. Outfielders David Schoonover, Doug Fairey, Daryl Youngman and Alfredo Bonilla led the MHS hitting attack. Anchoring the varsity squad from ,Q 2the catching postiion was senior Lon Hatamiya. 4The question mark on the team was on the pitching mound. Heading the pitching staff was senior Jim Givens, also a fine hitter, who was used mainly for relief in 1976. Supporting Givens on the mound was senior Chuck Lumsden, and Junior Chuck Cook. In pre-league play the MHS varsity baseball team started strong with a 4-I record and wins over Oroville, Willows, Sutter, and Lincoln. With the return of several good athletes, the Indians tried to improve on the I976 third place finish in the SFL standings. Fundamentals were stressed in practice, but team members were forced to practice in the Field House and a game against Las Plumas was cancelled due to the rainly weather and resultant muddy fields early in the season. -' -tl, .-..,.,,.. mf.

And when the coach himself is new, real problems could arise on the team. However, first year coach, Mr. Jim Westmoreland, kept the team morale high and helped them improve as the team moved into its season. With drills where girls had to do three push-ups every time they mishit the ball, the girls built muscles while improving shots. Under Mr. Westmoreland's leadership, the girls seemed to actually enioy his attempts at making them tennis pros . Using techniques practiced on throughout the season, the tennis team won their final match against Nevada Union. Overall, the girls' tennis team did not fare well in the team standings, with a l-9 record. Individually, top- seeded Lori Arostegui, Lori Binninger, Jennifer Booth, and Karen St. Martin led the team in wins. At season's end, six team members competed in the Sierra Foothill League tennis tournament held in Nevada City, with the doubles team of Lori Arostegui and Jennifer Booth taking third place. Mr. Westmoreland stated that even though the team did not have a winning season, he and the team had lots of fun.
