Learning Experience A learning experience. The freshman and junior varsity volleyball players saw this season as just that. The Uv team's final record of 13-7 earned it second place in district. The fresh- man team was 8-8 for the sea- son with a 4-2 district record and also placed second in their district. I felt that the season went very well. We learned how to set and spike the ball with more skill, said freshman Shannon Laurito. JV players cited unity among team members as a key factor in the success of their season. We all worked well to- gether, and there wasn't just one special person, We all contributed to the team, said sophomore Tracie Hun- nicutt. The hopes of moving up to the varsity level were defi- JV VOLLEYBALL: lFront Rowj Tracie Hunnicutt, Glna Laurltg, Me- lanie Ferguson.

I was happy for all the seniors, but I never played much at the varsity games, said sophomore Melanie Fer- guson. Though the first place spot in district eluded both teams, players were certainly not ashamed of the second place position they earned.

tit? .. . , .,,. ,:,.,, V Si in I W U lj Almost Heaven It was the game the Cow- boys had been waiting for all year, the most important game of the season. Now, ev- ery game was the most im- portant because every game could be the last. The team had made it to the regional semi-finals at East Texas State University against Hughes Springs. With the game tied at the end of regulation, the two teams went into overtime. The Cow- boys couldn't quite hold on, losing by only one point, 67- 66. After last year's disap- pointing loss to Kaufman at the bi-district playoffs, the Cowboys were looking to go much further this year. As it turned out, the Cowboys did, reaching regionals and losing a heartbreaker to Hughes Springs in overtime. Hughes Springs shot the ball well from outside, espe- cially from the 3-point line where they were 8-14, said Assistant Coach Dwayne Ger- lich, They hit some crucial 3-pointers at the end that really broke our backs. I'll be thinking about that game until next year. The Cowboys dominated district 11-AAA and rolled to a 14-0 district record with many players receiving indi- vidual honors. Cowboys' starting five and their sixth man received all-district hon- ors. Davin Lee was named the district's most valuable player, and Mike Jadlot was named to the first team. Jason White and Brian Cal- houn were selected for the second team while Jeff Cleve- land and Robert Wright earned honorable mentions. Davin was also named to the first team all-region, and Bri- an, third team all-region, I'd say that our coaching, good work habits, and talent took us as far as we went, said junior Jason White. The Cowboys' starting five and sixth man are all return- ing for the '88-89 campaign along with some promising players from the junior varsi- ty ranks. Junior Jeff Cleveland summed up the year: After the thrill of reaching the re- gional playoffs and realizing how close we were to the state tournament, we really have the desire to work harder next year and achieve our ultimate goal of bringing the state championship back to Coppell.
