Varsity suffers a misdeal Each year the varsity volleyball team votes for the player they think is most inspirational and the player they think is most valuable. Holly Baron and Dana Denley were the recipients of these awards. These two players have an important role in keeping the team together when the going gets rough, and they had their share of rough times. The highlight of the season was when the varsity girls defeated McKay in an all-out volleyball match. The entire team contributed a great effort and positive attitude. The crowd was behind the varsity one hundred percent since this was the first victory of a long losing streak. “We played well at times, but when it came down to it, we just couldn’t pull through,” commented senior player Dana Denley, “but all in all, the season was fun!” Senior player Dana Denley slams the ball over the net to the Spartans. ❖ Inside the huddle, junior player Liz O'Donnell concentrates as her coach tells the team a strate- gy against the Scots.
