Time For Setting It Up “This was a relatively young team this year and the players can look upon this season with mixed emotions,” says Coach Dan Foss. There were ten team members including team Captain Noelle Aultman who also was awarded Most Valuable and Honorable Mention. There were only two Seniors this year on the team: Alyssa Skinner and Noelle Aultman. Both of them played outside hitter during the season. The team will miss their efforts next year. Most Inspirational award winner and league nominee, went to Sophomore Carla Homes along with Lora Price. They added greatly to the young nucleus of the team. Sophomores Lora, Carla, and Angie have much potential. Freshmen Betsy Simpkins was awarded Most Improved and was starting outside hitter for the majority of the season. The teams statistics overall were four wins and eleven losses. League scores were two wins and seven losses. Vernon-ia’s volleyball Lady Loggers had much enthusiasm throughout the season, “This was a memorable season for me as a coach,” says Foss.

Time For Developing Skills The JV volleyball team had a pretty good year. This year’s team was full of potential. With many good athletes on the team it has a bright future. The team ended with a respectable eight and eight record. “Nobody will forget the Claskanie tournament, the most memorable aspect of it was a game when three girls were crying on the court at the same time.” says Coach, Bruce Dustin. The girls lost that game but they went on to place 5th out of eight teams. Lois Osborne was voted most valuable, Jeni Prohaska was most improved, and Linell Wright was most inspirational throughout the season. The team was led by strong plays from captain Sherri Pederson, setter Darilee Aultman, outside hitter Cindy Port, and middle blocker Lois Osborne. Consistency came from Melissa Schmidlin, Jeni Prohaska, and Linell Wright. “This team has the potential to do quite well in the near future,” says Varsity Coach, Dan Foss.
