Ea es ay With ritlel Q Q his is probably the best team I've ever had. I can do more with them, said j.V. Volleyball Coach Dolores Orosco. Orosco was in her fifth year of coaching the Eagles volleyball team. I could yell and scream through a practice and they would still stay with it. She added, It's an exciting game, I like the team feeling you get when you play. The team's slogan was, 'Eagles Play With Pride'. Orosco explained, I felt our program needed something that would bring the kids together as far as a goal is concerned. We had had losing seasons before. The record last year was 2-10, and I felt I had a team that needed a sense of pride within themselves. She continued, As we went through the season, each of the letters stood for different things. Those things were: potential, respect, individuality, dedication, and excellence. A team captain was chosen for the first time last year. Lisa Cech, a returning sophomore player, liked the responsibility of being the team captain. She added that although it took time from her busy schedule, she planned to play again next year. She lCoach Oroscol strives to get the best out of us, commented Cech. The team is 1002: better than last year. We have more working together, as we have pride, said Cech. I learned to accept other people, and learned to work with other people. I learned a lot about what the coaches at Santa Rita expected, and I tried to give out what they expected, she stated. Buffy Sanchez, a freshman player, enjoyed j.V. Volleyball since she liked to play team sports. Sanchez felt they were a great team and got along well. She liked Coach Orosco's attitude and planned to play on the team again next year. iv.

reat Expectations Q Q kill and experience is what makes up this year's Varsity Volleyball Team, stated Irma Piccone, varsity volleyball coach. She also added, The team this year is a pretty good group of girls because last year's team lacked experience and this year they have improved a lot. The team is pretty close and the coach tries her best to know every player and give them a fair chance, stated Senior Linda Aarstad. She added, I play volleyball because it gives me a sense of fulfillmentg I'm trying to win, so when the coach pushes us I unders- tand. Aarstad joined the team because she liked getting involved and having school spirit. junior Diane Lindflott commented, I think the coach expects a lot, but we could all push a little harder. I enjoy competing and I love all sports, so I guess our coach, like any other coach, has the right to expect a lot since we did join the team to try to win. Piccone expected dedication, concen- tration, execution, and self-discipline from the Varsity team. She also thought that the girls' good qualities were, their sportsmanship and the all around qualities they showed as students and athletes. I feel that by being patient and showing an interest in how the girls per- form, in all aspects of school activities, are some of my better qualities, remarked Piccone. Most of the girls felt that if they prac- ticed hard enough they had the satisfac- tion that they had tried their best. Pic- cone felt the same way. The enjoyment of working with girls who are growing in interscholastic competition keeps me going, she stated.
