JV,Sophs Have Excellent Seasons The Alliance JV Spikers once again had an excellent season. The team finished on a high note with, an 11-4 record by winning their last six games. Two of their losses were to varsity squads, while another loss was in three close games to Gering. The sophomore team played strong and finished with an unblemished 6-0 season. They won all of their matches in two games except one, in which they defeated Gering in three games. In a trying season and under the new direction of Jill Parenteau, the freshmen volleyball team finished at .500 with a 4-4 record, despite their hardworking efforts. All the hard work throughout the summer and fall paid off for the Alliance volleyball squads. This was obvious in the combined record of 21-8 between JV, sophomore, and freshmen teams. The players enjoyed their seasons, as Vanessa Curtiss said, We learned a lot and gained valuable experience that will help in future varsity play.

 .V. Freshmen Gridders Have Mixed Success Even though the junior varsity didn’t have a winning season like they have had in the past, they still gained valu-able experience. The Bulldogs finished with a 2-5 record and were most impressive in their wins over Chadron and Mitchell. The high point of this year’s Alliance High football program was the freshmen team. After losing their first game of the season, they tallied six wins in a row, including a big win over Western Conference rival Gering, 2-0. Their season was full of excitement with many games going down to the final minutes, before A.H.S. pulled through with the win. After a season that was considered average at Alliance High, the freshmen, junior varsity, and varsity teams compiled a 12-10 record, which is better than many other schools in the area. The school and city of Alliance should be proud of the fine efforts put forth by its football teams. Inson Rand celebrates after scoring one of his touchdowns during the Bulldogs 6-1 season.
