J.V. Volleyball Gains Experience This year the volleyball program at V.H.S. was complemented by a very well rounded J.V. team. These girls worked very hard all season to accomplish many things. First on their agenda was to get down the basic skills of volleyball. The team had several Freshmen and first time players that had to be taught the plays and rules of high school volleyball. This turned out to be quite a chore for Coach Larson since grade school sports don't stress the bump-set-spike pattern that is prevalent in the high school plays. Then they had to think about winning games! These girls proved to be a very strong and competitive team. Next year, many of the girls will be on the Varsity squad and then they will be able to show the skills that they learned this season. Coach Larson was really impressed by their eagerness to learn and their willingness to execute their talents on the court. 1 3 22 J.V. Volleyball

Cross Country “Runners Up” This year the fourth second place cross country trophy was added to the trophy case of the Loggers. The team was seeking for the state title but had key members with slower than normal races that dampened the title hope. We definitely had the talent to be the best in the state said Head Coach Melvin Nice. Bob Gallagher and Jared Nice both obtained their goals by both placing in the top ten. Gallagher was the first Logger in with a fifth place finish. Jared was next to cross the line with an eighth place showing. Junior Greg Holce and Seniors Derek Bellingham and Jason Nice all placed in the top forty. Junior Bill Ca-vinee and Freshman Wes Vaughn came in sixty-eighth and sixty-ninth. Senior Juli Hammerberg represented the girls team with a personal best time, and one of the best finishes for a Ver-nonia girl since the program originated. The other team member, Jackie Price, was unable to qualify for state as she placed ninth at district. Jared Nice and Juli Hammerberg were awarded the most valuable title, with Greg Holce and Jackie Price receiving the most academic award. Senior Derek Bellingham was given the most improved recognition, and Senior Jason Nice was given a special three year varsity certificate. 2 5 24 Cross Country
