ihe fhrill of fhe sV aV® varsity volleyball While others sat I comfortably in front ' of their TV sets en- joying a relaxing evening at home after a busy day at school, the trample of nine pairs of volleyball feet ran the usual ten laps around the court to warm up for the night of practice. The evening then continued with various conditioning skills including sprints and jumping rope. Finally, they practiced playing what they did best, volleyball. The team put in many hours of practice to make their season the best it could be, and what a sea- son it was! The volleyball team went un- defeated all season and earned a zone championship to go on to compete for a state title in Las Vegas. When asked what her overall impression of the season was Se- nior Pauline Holzhauer said, The best; Dar) ' l and Cathy de- served it. Daryl James, the lady Senator ' s head coach coached his last year which captured his first zone championship out of his four year coaching career. Senior Captain Cathy Schmidt had played varsity volleyball since her freshman year. This was also Cathy ' s first zone championship. Pauline summed up the season well: We came together and played as a team, and what we accomplished was just FANTAS- TIC! by Stephanie Owen Sophomore Jettijer Grey blocks a shot by Douglas ' Pam Hovey while Trisha Smith waits for the return- ing shot. 120

Volleyball A group of kids who work real hard and show more desire and guts than any volleyball team 1 have ever coached, said Coach Maestretti about the JV volleyball team. The team put in many hours of practice and time and earned well desei-ved wins over South Tahoe and Dougles. There were no easy points with these teams. You have to earn eve- rything you get. Our girls had to stay intense the entire match, and there were no opportunities to re- lax, said Maestretti. Our setting is real consistent with Karen McRoy and Missy Smith. Also Barbi Sullivan and Lisa Savenelli did a good job at the net as middle blockers. Our setting is real tough, said Maestretti. Although most of our games SCORES JV VOLLEYBALL JV VOLLEYBALL.

She is one who ex- plains situations in a game like they are, said Diane Medeirt)s. The hardest match in the eyes of the players was against South Ta- hoe. Tahoe is normally a lot of com- petition for us, and it didn ' t help our team when we were not playing to our full potential. Everyone was playing as individuals instead of a team, said Karen McRoy. In overall competition, they did very well posting a remarkable sea- son. I feel the team did really well. We all worked together well on the court with the exception of South Tahoe, said Vonnie Horton. by Sean Sullivan rage weekly practice hours: 10-12 d Coach: Kelly Maestretti lagers: Lynn Etchemendy, Shelly Langson .tains: Karen McRoy, Barbi Sullivan JVVoUeyball 119
