Serve, Bump, Spike Three Teams Improve Spirit As the time came for each freshman volleyball game to start, with the team in a circle, Tonya Leffel, co-captain of the freshmen volleyball game, yelled out tiBedford how do you feel? and the rest of the team followed with ttWe feel fine . . . V, Freshman Heather Cousins commented, ttl think our most exciting game was against Ypsilanti because we just came back from a 105sz hot all the teams I have had, this was probably the largest group of real, real quality peopleft replied fresh- man volleyball coach, Mr. Tim Cady. The new seventh grade volleyball coach Cheryl Baker stated ttAnn Arbor and St. Francis were our most exciting games because they were pretty well skilled and were very competitivef Eighth grade volleyball coach Chris Williams agreed with her.

Steppin' Up! Freshman runner, Heather Barnes, keeps herself in shape for the Varsity track Team. Almost over! About to leap a low hurdle in a single bound, 7th grader, Shelly Moore, contributes points to Bedford's score in the meet against Eisenhower. The girls team shut out their adversary 96-0. On Your Marks, Go! Track Remains A Co-Ed Sport Boys and girls on the same team? Thatls one thing that makes track different from any other sport. All the coaches work with everyone, boys and girls, junior high or high school. Each of the coaches had a specialty area in which he worked. Every day the teams started out practice with field events. The team members split up and worked with the coaches in their area. After that they went on to their run- ning event. In order for coaches to better help the team, the follow- ing coaches were added to the staff: Mr. Larry Ol Dell, Miss Linda Schira, Mr. Robert Tienvieri, and former track runners Kara Walcher and Bob Tenney. The passing of the millage made this possible. It also made it possible for the JV and varsity to get all new uniforms. ltBeing involved in track was an exciting experience? quoted new track coach, Ms. Linda Schira. New coach, Mr. Larry OlDell added, llOur track team has had a quality performance in the past and the addition of new coaches should help this to continue? uI run track to get in shape for the summer plus it gives me a sense of accomplishment? commented eighth grade sprinter Nikki Morris. 96
