They came on strong with only three more losses for the season. The Jacket spikers were led by power-hitter Beth Williams. She was backed by Bobbie Sutton, Greta Naranjo, and Dee Dee Donaldson. The quick moves and excellent sets by Rhonda Powell and Robynn Goar made it possible for the awesome bullet-like spikes by the hitters. The back up players included Paula Esparza, Della Webb, Stephanie Reidhead, Eva, 2 Page 58. 1. Rhonda Powell bumps up the ball to the front line. 2. Dee Dee Donaldson bumps up a low ball. 3.

The Varsity's 7-3 Conference record tied them for second place with Alchesay. Their loss to Alchesay in the District Tourna- ment knocked them out of the State semi-finals. The Jackets came back and defeated Valley for the third time and placed third in the tournament. The teams 9-10 season record did not reflect their potential. They had a lot of talent and skill. Next year's team should do well because of the fact that eight juniors will be returning. 3

Heart-stopping final quarter downs R. V. Elks By Laura Larson It took A great team effort, said coach Paul Moro, for the Freshmen to defeat the Round Valley Elks. Blue Ridge was down after the first half 6-18. Blue Ridge wanted it more, and with a lot of heart, came back in the closing minutes to win 19-18. The Freshmen Football Team had other great moments including a 35-0 victory over Joseph City, and a 13-13 tie with Show Low. They finished with a 2-3-1 record. The J.V. team also showed a lot of desire. It's enjoyable to see how the younger players improve under some trying conditions, stated Coach Stan Thompson. These players proved they have a lot of stamina after defeating teams like Snowflake, Holbrook, and Alchesay. They also learned some mental lessons in their O-0 tie at Valley. Both of the teams have shown fine character and a winning at- titude this year. As Coach Moro put it, If they will be dedicated to becoming the best they can be, they will become another Blue Ridge State Football Champion? 1 2 3 . . A Zn, A J.V.. 57
