But after Coach Younglove ar- rived, things starting moving uphill. We began with a 4th place finish in the Colton tournament and continued for a successful season winning first place in the Ivy League. A mild setback oc- curred when starter Michelle Lowrance was moved up to fill a vacancy on the varsity. It was a great year, exclaimed Terry Doran. because we had fun and worked together as a team. Because the team did so well, four people shared the MVP award: Danica Lukens. Tiffany Harris. Cathy Arve. and Mary Fuller. Coach Younglove reported, The only disappointing thing was not going undefeated because the girls really de- served it. Welcome freshmen, one and all. Just about any freshman can play on the frosh football team as long as he is loyal and determined to play. Prac- tice started in the heat of August and consisted of mostly conditioning and learning the skills. It looked to be a great season as we mutilated the Cajon Cowboys 24 - 2, but hopes were diminished as we lost the next two in a row. However, overall it was a good season as we beat North to finish tied for third. Offensive MVP was tailback John Tennyson and defensive MVP was linebacker Tim Bradley. Most Improved offensive was Rich- ard McLean and Most Improved defensive was Mark Reed. We Want To Win

s Returning letterman, Jennie Raleigh, team MVP, bumps the sphere to ready a spike.

Junior Gina Shaw goes up high for the spike and score. w ithin our grasp but out of reach With the loss of seven players due to graduation or cheerleading, Coach Lu- kens had a lot of rebuilding to do. There was a lot more talent than the record showed. Coach Lukens said, I was proud of them because they never gave up, they weren ' t quitters, but I wish they could have learned to play togeth- er as a team. Most of the games were very competitive, but victories gener- ally stayed out of reach. A 4 and 10 league finish eliminated any chance for C.I.F. play. No one felt more frustration than the players themselves. Kerry Johnston expressed her feelings by saying, We would go up 2 - Oon a team and be playing so well, but we could just never pull it out. Jennie Raleigh led the team in pass- ing, spiking and shared the lead in serv- ing percentage with Kaily Rachwitz. Cindy Taylor led the team in setting. Blocking was dominated by Gina Shaw. After being moved up from JV, Mi- chelle Lowrance was put right into the starting lineup and added a lot to the team. Varsity H®H Sports
