Karlie Reis stretches for the spike during a close match with rival Jeff. Both she and Stephanie Crace made the All- Conference team. Striving Seniors ith four seniors to lead the volleyball team, it was difficult deciding the most outstanding player. Three of the seniors-Stephanie Crace, Karrie Reis, and lo Steele-were all four year veterans, and Kim Rhoten played all but her sophomore year. All of the girls led the team both physically and with mental techniques. Stephanie Crace played mostly setter and some spiking, with strong serving abilities. She was voted All- Conference Honorable Mention. Karrie Reis and Kim Rhoten were primarily spikers, but were all around players, as was Jo Steele. Kim and Karrie made the All- Conference team for the first time in the 1983-84 sea- son. The experience and leadership of the seniors helped give the team its first winning season since 1976.

V-Ball Team Records Winning Season he'Lady Bucs volleyball team exper- ienced a winning record of 15-10. Since 1976, the records had been consecu- tive disappointments until the 1983-84 sea- son. New additions to the team brought a bet- ter outlook for the Lady Bucs. Melinda Campbell became the head coach, while Kim Carroll coached JV. Coach Campbell experimented with a mental practice to develop better concentration. New uni- forms and a new net were available for the team with the help of the adult boost- ers. An expansion to the season was a tournament at Floyd Central, which in- creased the winning record of the team. The beginning of the season held a few rough spots. Some matches were lost due to a lack of communication. After working the problems out, the Bucs played together to establish their winning record.

x Record Breaking X-Country Team . . ' Takes The Pirates To Semi-State he Pirate cross wcountry team was one that had record success. The squad finished the year with 154 wins, a new school record. The early season's highlight was a victory in the Campus Run, defeating eventual Kentucky state AAA champion St. Xavier. For most of the season, the Bucs battled Indiana's finest cross country teams, losing only to one unranked team all year, Terre Haute South. At the sectional, the Pirates fell eight points short of taking the title, but de- feated state finalist Floyd Central in the process. The Bucs came up a mere thir- teen points short of taking the regional crown, despite the fact that fifth man Chuck Schuler fell in a stream early in the race. Nevertheless, Schuler went on to finish 31st. A seventh place finish at semistate was somewhat disappointing for the Pirates, coming short of a necessary fourth place finish for the team to qualify for state. However, senior Mark King did advance to the state finals for the first time in his cross country career. Mark King receives his ribbons for placing first in the sectional at Clarksville.
