Offense unites Problem-solving aids team m -E-A-M WORK, WORK, WORK! Placing third in the Ashtabula County Tournaments and challenging three of the hardest teams first, the varsity volleyball team started its season. Realizing after three consecutive losses that there were problems, the team discussed how to improve. Soon, the attitude changed; they united. Shelly Chapman said,'The best feeling was when everyone on the court was involved in one difficult volley. That's when I felt like we were a team.' There were only three returning seniors: Mindy Barchanowicz, Lisa Bartone, and Kim Graff. Both Mindy and Kim were four-year lettermen. The team played a 5-1 set up which gave these two seniors the opportunity to be spikers along with their positions of setters. It also put three juniors in the spotlight. Sabrina Williams and Dawn Martin were intimidating as middlespikers and Debbie Lane was noted for accurate bumps. Kim Luce was the only starting sophomore. Other supporting members were Tracy Miller, Shelly Chapman, and Sharon McClure. 'Over the season our skills improved a great deal. But still our talent was a lot better than our record showed.' concluded coach Sue Cavalancia.
