Molly and Brenda listen as Bulldogs plan strategy. Coach Klunicc watches team during a Bull- dog victory. J.V. members show excitement over a strong victory. J.V. Saddles Up With Experience This year the J.V. Volleyball team rounded up the season with a 4-14 record under the assistance of coach Lindsey Klunice. The team had a rather good attitude toward the season. During the game they showed much enthusiasm and ex- citement. The highlight of the spikers sea- son is when they gambled the crosfc- town rivalry and slaughtered the South Albany Rebels in a show- down to the finish. Many of the girls on the team gained much experience playing for the J.V. squad. This should help for next years squad which should prove to be one of West’s strongests teams. Bulldogs spike one past the Vikings. 27
