LlL LLLc Ll'll Volleyball Skills Abound The 1983 Volleyball team's season began with the first practice on August 22. Twenty-one girls participated and after the first long and hard practices, the teams were chosen. The Freshmen team consisted of six first year volleyballers who, although inexperienced, proved to be the team with the best record for the season. On this team, Barb Longbrake had best serving and passing averages, Kelli Swanson had most serves in one game and best passing average, Ronda Keller had best spiking average. Tammy Pedersen had most ace spikes and Marcy Embrey had best setting average. This team progressed from merely hitting the ball over on the first hit to running a 4-2 offense. commented Coach Redlinger. The J.V. started out the season very slowly but took giant steps in improving from game to game, not only in team play, but also in individual skills. The individual skills that Coach Redlinger was talking about included: Kelli Swanson- best serving average, most serves in a game, most ace servers, and most good passes. Barb Longbrake- best passing average, Erica Johnson- best spiking average, most spikes per game and most ace spikes, and Angie Thoendel- best setting average and most good sets in one game. The Varsity team as a whole was not outstanding; but, the individuals themselves were. Gina Staub had most serves per game, best setting average and most good sets in one game. Aimee Walvoord had best serving average and most ace spikes in one game. Kim Roubicek had best setting average, Connie Embrey, team co-captain, had most good sets in one game, and Kim Kilmer, also team cocaptain, had most ace serves, best passing average, most good passes in one game, best spiking average, most ace spikes, most good spikes in one game and most saves. Kim also was on the 2nd team ECNC All Conference. Coach Redlinger commented the When all players had an 'on' night, this was an exciting team to watch. When it was an 'off' night, a different team was on the court. She added All three teams were fun to work with and it was a pleasure to take them to away games. Besides the players, the team consisted of Coach Redlinger, Asst. Coach Craig, Natalie Osborne- Manager and Stats, and Andrea Kirk- book. — Natalie Osborn 1983 Volleyball team.
