There is satis- faction in representing your school, in the camaraderie of the team, and even in being an athlete. Although a team of rookies with the exception of junior Renee Butler, the girls proved they had what it takes to be winners by taking third place in the Area Tournament. All-Star teams were selected by the coaches and referees on the over-all best players from the competing teams. Oneonta was hon- ored to have three players selected from the county and area tournaments: Donna Hazelrig — Area All-Star, Mar- gart Henry — County All-Star, and Re- nee Butler — County and Area All- Star. As a reward for their hard work and determination, Coach Jean Faucett treated the team by taking them to Montgomery to observe the volleyball state play-offs. MTLIJOCCC:
