Volleyball took more than athletic ability, it took a sharp mind and lots of practice. Varsity and j.V. girls had both the talent and ability. Varsity coach Ms. Rainey stated This team was a very aggressive defensive team. XVhat we lacked in size we made up in speed. And with the help of outstanding players Aleitha Smith, Bridgette Willitims, Earnestine Middleton and jennifer Campbell the ladycats also got a new attitude toward their game. Beginning each game with ag- gressiveness, they intimidated the other teams with their defense and spiked their offense down the opponents throats for victory. After coming off a 5-13 season last year, the ladycats finished the season with 14-12 record and as District Runner-up. junior Varsity kept the spirit going with leadership and strong discipline upheld by returning players. The J.V. girls silently watched and learned from the varsity players, gaining experience in their 5-7 season. x far, 'tl 'lady X if 6 l6.olgf',12.,1 1' A 'QPR 0 :W A .Q it' 4- lil' 54 li of 'J rw 'Swat r Q57 Y' cffve Q '00 6 Coach Rainey af' .7 Mfg 'ij jlwufiafjnfwfjj ,. .E V W tq!fr,,Vp l 3 WU!

Running on the Cross-Country team is a lot of fun, but it's also a lot of hard work. The truth hurts - literally. Everyday after school, when everyone else had gone home, the Cross-Country team was doing what they did best - running. Freezing cold, burning hot, pouring rain, no matter, the team ran anywhere from three miles to ten miles every day. Laps and hill climbing were also integral parts of the rigorous training, which only got harder as the season wore on. Countless Saturdays were spent waking up at the crack of dawn to travel to compete against rival teams. The boys, led by Scott Whiteman and Kevin Raymond, proved to be tough com petition throughout the season, which ended with a second place in District arid Regionals. The Lady Cats matched the boys' excellent season stride for stride. Led by Pam Ruckstuhl, Diane Perry, and Renee Cork, the girls came home with a second place in District and first place in Regionals. Overall, the two teams excelled past all others helping them to get state rankings. The boys were ranked l lth and the girls 13th. WS' Coach Snyder, Mary Moulton fmgrj and Coach Hemming. Seniors Gene Mitchell, Laura Gill, Scott Whiteman, and Kevin Raymond. 1a'-' Pam Ruckstuhl and Kim Barrett, leaders of the pack, kick in the after burners and head for the finish line. With the aid of Coach Hemming, julie Sanford stretches her leg muscles in preparation for the upcoming race. During the trip to Regional Competition, Tom Bedics, Chuck Snyder, and Trey Urghardt have a few laughs while devouring a box of Doo-Dads. Trey Urghardt and Tom Bedics cross the finish line following a long and grueling race. ' Sporlf 177
