Spirits Soar Beating Mark Keppel must have been the most exciting game for the varsity volleyball team. Keppel won the 1st round but the 2nd round belonged to Mountain View. As the girls con- tinued with their determined en- deavor, they went all the way to a victory. Eleanor Flores im- proved the most during the sea- son and Virginia Gutierrez was the most valuable player on the team this year. Doing well throughout the season, the JV team worked with great effort. Captain Robin Adams was voted most valuable player on the team with freshman Margie Hernan- dez receiving the most improved player award. The attitudes in both varsity and JV teams were outstanding, their spirits high and their will- ingness to do their best never fell.

Pep Talk Helps A tremendous amount of ef- fort and sportsmanship was shown iDy the varsity tennis team though they only managed one close team win against Monrovia. Spirited encouragement was pro- vided by Coach Smoot as she al- ways had something positive to say before, during and after the games. Captain Vicki Urijan earned the Coaches ' Award for her enthusiasm and team leader- ship. Playing very well for the season was Rachel Mejia as she was named most valuable player. Also playing extremely well for her first time on the tennis team was most improved player Con- nie Rios. Even a team record of wins and 8 losses couldn ' t stop the energetic JV team. Many of them were first year players willing to try their hardest and to do their best. Nance Eason, the most valuable player, was the most consistent in winning her match- es. The most improved player award went to freshman Debbie Kendricks who showed great promise for the coming years. (ABOVE LEFT) JV player Susan Blume bends down to hit the ball.
