...qi alfa. G R The Girls' Varsity Volleyball Team was an outstanding example of Baron Pride. The team finished with a very strong sea- son, won the Mesa title, and then advanced to the CIF finals. The team had a slow start, winning only two of its first six games. By the time the league matches came up, however, the players had unified, and they won the next ten matches. They won all their league matches, and consequently earned the Mesa league championship. The team advanced to CIF playoffs, and beat Patrick Henry and Valhalla in the first two rounds. The final match, to determine the CIF 3A Championship, was played at UCSD against Torrey Pines. The girls lost the first game, and were behind, 13-14, in the second game. The serve changed sides nine times in a row, with neither side scor- ing. Finally. Torrey Pines scored the last point, and the Barons emerged second in the county. The seven returning seniors provided the team with experience. The Most Valuable Player was Anna Sanchez, who was voted the Most Valuable Player of the entire Mesa League. Anna also made the All-Cl F first team. - 1 - Special recognition is in order for Ms. Jan Kimball. the dedicated coach of the volleyball team. Without her expen guidance thc winning tradition at BV would not continue. I I -Q
