JV Raiderettes Aim For Experience The girls’ JV basketball program is only in its second season, but has already sent players to the Varsity squad who would have had no experience if not for the establishment of the team last year. While aiming for experience, the young team also managed to pull off some important victories. ae Johnna and Pam watch the ball closely in hopes that it will make its way through the hoop. pale Terri reaches up to get the rebound while Sherri stands by to elp.

1977 VOLLEYBALL Nelson Co. Wm. Campbell Altavista Gretna Brookville Rustburg J. Forest Amherst Liberty Coach Lucy Harris breathed a little easier at the start of the ’77 volleyball season, having four of last year’s start- ers returning to the squad. While the Raiderettes weren't extremely tall, they overcame this by quickness, good ser- ving, spiking, and setting, and—most of all—teamwork and a “never die” attitude. The Raiderettes lost the last game of the season to Liberty, giving them an 8-1 record. The team was up and ready for the tournament, but all hopes were shattered when they were defeated by Altavista in the first game of the tournament. Along with excellent teamwork, there was a lot of in- dividual talent on the Raiderette team: four Raiderettes made the All-District team. Marie Fraley, first team; Connie Murray, second team; and Roxie Martin and Vanessa Smith were named to honorable mention. Individual team awards were received by Connie Murray (Most Valuable Player) and Vanessa Smith (Most Improved Player). Congratulations to all the Raiderettes. Setting It Up To Serve The 1977 VOLLEYBALL TEAM: Roxie Martin, Marie Fraley, Marlene Moore, Connie Murray, Berneta Moore, Laurie McLean—Mar., Susan Godsey, Johnna Belter, Vanessa Smith, Kim Hipps, Annette Carter, Robin Martin, Jill Walton, Pam Guill, Lisa Moore, Susan Handy, .

Two Main Goals: One: ee ee ats 1978 RAIDERETTE BASKETBALL TEAM: Co-Captains Marie Fraley and Connie Murray; Coach Mary Tolley, Roni Franklin, Roxie Mar- tin, Susan Handy, Annette Carter, Marlene Moore, Susan Smith, Debbie Smith, Vanessa Smith, Susan Godsey, Carole Beaty, Lisa LS Moore—Mar. Once again the Raiderettes lacked height, but they did have a little more ) experience than before. The first half of the season proved to be tough for the ) Raiderettes but they started to settle down to business in the second. Five seniors made up the starting line for the Raiderettes, with Marlene Moore as center, Roxie Martin and Marie Fraley as forwards, and Connie Murray and Koni Franklin as guards. Coach Mary Tolley had a strong bench to fall back on when tough situa- tions came up. There she could find good shooters and defensive players, hustlers and more height, or a combination of these necessary traits. The Raiderettes were agressive and really moved whether the scoreboard showed the team losing ground or with the game all wrapped up. Marie sends the “Spalding” up between two Gretna defenders.
