Varsigr Volleyball On the court, there is a shout from one of C. K. girls. Come on girls, call for the ball! Letis keep the serve! The whistle blows. In the air, there is a resounding smack as the hand of J uay Sczcpanski comes into contact with the mean white vol- leyball. Although it is with much dwculty, the opposing team is able to return the powerful serve. The ball sails back over the net,' Diane McDonald yells, Got it! as she proceeds to drive the ball low and hard over the net. Catching the opponents unaware, the ball falls to the floor on their side of the court. The referee signals for a point to be recorded for Christ the King. Many more points were to be played and C.K and was to be victorious in their match against Mater Christi. This victory, as all others, was the result of many hard hours of work and the grave determination to win by the Christ the King Vol- leyball team, under the expert coaching of Mr. Joseph Elenchick. This was to be one of the many battles in which our Varsity girls struggled to reign supreme. The greatest obstacle proved to be getting used to each other on the court. Of all the nine present Varsigr members, onbf two, Captain Darcy Thompson and junior Judy Sczcpanski, remain from the Varsity team of the previous year. Six members have advanced from the 1976 Junior Varsity team, including Joann Gornail and Dorene Woods. The jnal member is Mary Fahy, a newcomer to the volleyball squad. Yet our girls overcame this hardship through much practice and an unsinka- ble spirit. Tremendous serving and well-directed hits by co-captain Michelle Kelbr, Cheryl Trembinski and Doreen Young, along with the ejorts of the members men- tioned above, have hehred the team to continue on their winning ways. The Varsity team finished the season with a record of 8 wins and 4 losses which placed them in a three wigr tie for hrs! place. In a run-off match against Stella Maris, our girls played well and put up a good fight. Nevertheless, they lost the match. Ending the season on such a strong note, be sure to look for our Varsity girls in the playoffs next season! Q Num 1 1 ' if 1 1.311 1'
