Mission: Octopii This year's Varsity Volleyball Team may not have had the best record in the league, but their motto was definitely the most unique. Coached by Sharon Nelson, the team improved a lot during the season; of course, they did have a few set-backs. First of all, the team’s pre-season tournaments were cancelled due to lack of money, which brought the girls into their league games with less experience than their opponents. During the season the team had to deal with injuries and other conflicts within the team. About half way through the season the team adopted the yell, O-C-T-O-P-U-S, octopus, octopus, octopus, octopus! With this theme of many arms and one brain on the court, the girls worked on their teamwork. Their games improved but their win-loss record remained at 2-14. ▲ D ▲ F A.
