LEYBALL JV VOLLEYBALL JV VOLLEYBALL JVVOLLEYE J.V. Impraving JV has a winning season X M he junior varsity volleyball team was new and improved, sporting new methods, new techniques, a new attitude, and a new coach. Weights were incorporated into the training curriculum to build muscles while aerobics were continued to build endurance. Also, an unprecedented audience attended many of the home and away games which gave a big psychological push to the team and the coach. First-year coach Roberta Cevera shared with the team her several years experience, as she had played with Harbor High School and Kent State University. With her she also brought a new attitude. 'I really feel that we were much more unified this year and all the hard work we have put in since August has finally paid off,' commented second-year player, Jenny Barnett. Freshman Renee Powell felt high-school volleyball was a unique and gratifying experience because. It's not just centered around one person; it takes the whole team working together.' As Kim Juras simply put it. 'We are a lot better.' Perhaps Maureen Welch summed it up the best when she stated, 'It took us half the season to pull together. but now we've got it!' 18 J.V.

A 7 - 7 Season Golf season is successful Ls junior Ron McCluskey put it. We are the best 7 and 7 team you will ever find, because we had really close losses to Geneva, Edge wood, and Riverside.' The team practiced all summer to prepare for the season. The team's individual averages were Ron Newsome at 42.6. .Marty Placko at 42.7, Jim Flaherty at 43.4, Ron McCluskey at 44.3, and Bob King with a 44.7. The team's average came out to be a 43.5 with room for improvement. All that practicing did pay off for them though; they won a gigantic victory over Madison in their first match Coach Tom Carr, in his tenth year as golf coach, could not remember a season during which his team won its first match. Even though the team beat last year's record, it still finished only fifth in the league and fifth in the Northeastern Conference Tournament at Punderson State Park This was also the site of the sectional tournament where the team finished fifteenth. Furthermore. senior Marty Placko was chosen for the all Northeastern Conference team for the second consecutive year. The junior varsity team, consisting of Paul Eurez, Bob Detore, Scott Valesky, David Corlett, Todd Marovich, and Andy Sheldon, was trying hard to make the j.v. team a successful. Mr Carr worked not only on perfecting the team members' golf swings, but also on building the characters of the individuals. In that respect, the golf season was a great success!
