Down And Ready Oh, I'm so nervous and excited. The big game against our rival Flintridge begins in a few minutes. We have to beat them to hold our position in the standings. This kind of pressure was typi- cal of what the volleyball teams experienced during the season. While coach Kate Ken- dall got the players ready mentally for the game, she also prepared them physically. During their 2Vz hour practices, the Varsity girls were often seen running laps around the field, doing push-ups and jumping jacks, and various drills to improve their bumping and spik- ing techniques. In the end, this strenuous prep- aration payed off, because the Varsity team entered the CIF play-offs in third place. The team's season ended when they lost to Mark Keppel High School 3-0 in the first round of play-offs. I had fun coaching the girls, and I think the team's record improved since last year. We will have an even better standing in the league next season, commented junior Varsity coach Mr. Massey.
