Although they ended their season with a 6-2 record. Their team, consisting of six seniors and two sophomores, started out to a great season with their only two defeats taken against Thatcher and Tombstone. Although this years' team did not make it to state there was a single moment each senior will remember, ana that was the defeat of the Morenci Wildcats in a conference match after three consecutive years of defeat, making this the last time the two would meet in conference play. Next years' team will be playing in the class C, eliminating the two rivals. Even though this was the last year for the six seniors to play together as a team, Liz Garza had this to say. We did better than 1 thought we would, even though we didn't show it at districts. This years' team was coached by Miss Shirley Bishop, a first year coach, who found herself coaching with little experience in the sport of volleyball. Despite that fact, sne worked hard and had determination to do her best. At the end of the season Michelle Castaneda, setter, and Liz Garza, hitter, both four year lettermen and returning starters were selected as All Conference players. The team proved their ability and helped to bring back a winning tradition. Collectively, the six departing seniors would like to wish next years team the best of luck and to go out and prove Clifton High School is one of tne best.
