198 volleyball Girls Provide 'Best Season' Volleyball Makes State This is the best season I've had at Smoky Hill. I have never seen a team play with such mutual respect, both on and off the court, said Coach Jeannine Brown of the varsity volleyball team. With a league finish of 7-3, State was definitely within reach. The team went to the State playoffs ending with an exciting but disappointing loss to the Rocky Mountain Lobos. Defense was the Buffs specialty, with the ability to return anything with smart moves to keep their opponents busy. The team's offensive specialists were Kim Kokoska and Stephanie Wawrzyniak with Tana Nixon being the team's strong offensive player. The team's winning finish put them as the fourth place seed for state playoffs. Named for first and second team all league were Tana Nixon and Kim Kokoska along with Denise Kos and Stephanie Wawrzyniak as Honorable Mention. Perfectly executed, Stephanie Wawrzyniak passes the ball to set up for the attack. Anxiously anticipating the start of the match, the Buffs are introduced to the spectators.

V-Buffs Look Great Head coach Jeannine Brown, of the Smoky Hill Volleyball program, tried to build a team starting from freshman year into a first rate varsity team. Starting with the basics, Brown teaches the importance of passing and serving to the younger teams, with the assistance from Pat Wetmore at the freshman level, Mike Murphy at the sophomore, and Margo Patinos at jayvee. As they move up to sophomore and jayvee levels, the players work on perfecting and refining these skills along with incorporating hitting and setting specialties into the game. The 1984 junior varsity is a very explosive team , as described by their coach Margo Patinos. Brown is excited for this team to move up for the 1985 varsity season. With a first place finish at the jayvee tournament, and an 8-2 winning season, they are a Ol Q 14.
