Junior Varsity Freshman Volleyball The Junior Varsity Lady Tigers completed their season with a record of 5 wins and 8 losses. Although the junior varsity did not have a winning season, the team was successful in some aspects. All of the players showed im- provements in their game. Along with the play- ers, Coach Robles has high hopes for the girls next year. The J.V. pulled together and kept improving with each practice,” she said. “These girls will definitely be ready for varsity level in 1988.” With all their hard work and dedication, the junior varsity girls should have a smooth transition to varsity next year. The Freshman volleyball team ended its season with a record of 4 wins and 4 losses. The team showed great improvements as the season progressed. Coach Robles was impressed with all the team's hard work and teamwork they displayed. The Freshman team was a great example of how 'team ball should be played’, she said. The girls are not only a team on the court, but off the court, and in school as well,’’ explained Coach Robles. With all their work and improvement, the freshman girls are sure to have a successful season on the junior varsity team next year.

Cheerleaders A Year of Success This year’s cheerleading squads have been su- perior groups. Under the direction of sponsor Myrna Bass, the girls have all learned a great deal about success. Both the varsity and junior varsity squads have shown that it takes something extra special to be a cheerleader! The junior varsity cheerleaders are very active throughout the year. They begin during the sum- mer working hard — teaching the new members old cheers and learning new cheers as a team. During the school year they have the opportunity of cheering during the freshman junior varsity cheer- leaders at pep rallies, and making sure that the sports players know they are supported! At East Texas State University camp during the summer, the junior varsity left with high honors. They won both the dance competition and the camp cheers competition. The varsity squad has had an active year. Prac- ticing often during the summer, the girls had suc- cess in their mind. They attended the North Texas camp and were nominated for the award of ex- cellence. They also were proclaimed camp cham- pions at the UCA camp at East Texas State Uni- versity. But practicing was not concluded, for their hope for success was beginning to come true as the girls cheered the football team on to a winning season. Not stopping for a minute, the girls at- tended the NCA regional competition and won — allowing them to head for nationals where they ranked 20th in the entire nation Other awards included superior team spirit at Six Flags and top squad at the Dallas Cowboy Old-Timers Com- petition. Both squads boasted at being the best and merely proved themselves. Cheerleading spirit aimed for new heights at Commerce High School! 18 Cheerleaders
