NET GAMES Volleyball Underrated 8c Unspectated They may have been con- sidered minor and non- exciting sports to spectators, but to those who participat- ed, they were just as impor- tant and exciting as the sports that drew the huge crowds. In many cases, teams like volleyball accu- mulated equally impressive records, but they went un- noticed. If you're beating a team, it's not much fun when there is hardly anyone in the stands because you can't show off to anyone and show them how good you are or the team is, said freshman Mel Ferguson. The freshman volleyball team remained undefeated throughout the season. They captured first place in tournaments at Lake Worth and Carter-Riverside. A complete idiot could have set on the sides, and they would have still won, said Coach Ioe Tindle. You very seldom get a 'I 8 SPORTS team, maybe every five to ten years, that has that much talent. Capturing second place in the Nocona tournament gave the Varsity hope of getting beyond regionals--a goal that had evaded them for the past two years. A loss in the district playoffs pre- vented them from making the regionals, however, and their season ended with a I7-9 record. We have the exper- ience, and I feel we have a good chance of getting past the regionals this year, said senior Angie Diaz early in the season. At the Nocona tournament we fought and beat Callisburg, last year's district champs. Throughout all games in the tourna- ment, we played hard and to our best ability. K Fans' support and self- motivation was harder to come by for the IV, whose victories barely outweighed losses, with the season re- cord of IO-8. When there is no one in the stands, it makes you feel as if no one cares, said sophomore Taffney Low- rance. Most of the time no one comes to the freshman or IV games, but they show up for the varsity games, and that makes us feel bad. The season was viewed by varsity coach Glenda McKee as a success. This year in volleyball, I saw a total team effort, it is hard to name a 'most valu- able' player, said Coach McKee. I would have to pick Iennifer Iadlot as out- standing offensive player for her serving, net play, and her positive leadership with the teammates. I would pick Angie Diaz as out- standing defensive player for her blocks and spike re- coveries and for her total dedication to be the best player she could be. IN POSITION.
