“This was the Wheelerettes’ first winning season and a fun one at that,” explained Coach Hoelscher. The soft- ball team started the season with nine returning lettermen and a new coach. The Wheelerettes were invited to the Irwin Tournament. The competi- tion was tough but they brought home third place. Coach Hoelscher stated that good attitudes helped the team win. He also thought that the outlook for next year is good although there will be a young pitcher, Jamie McLaughlin. 1. The Wheelerettes had a fairly young team this year.

“Don’t let the ball hit the floor un- til you do,” was a saying often heard by Coach Schwinefus. Volleyball, a new sport for girls, replaced fall soft- ball. Coach Schwinefus stated that the team had a positive attitude and was willing to put a lot of time toward goals that would make them successful. The team faced tough competition; some of their opponents had partici- pated in state tournaments. Miss Sch- winefus says the girls are enthusiastic about next year’s season, “A years’ experience has excited the team.” 1. Although this was the first year for volleyball, there was a good turn- out.
