VOLLEYBALL CRUSHES COMPETITION The ream was fresh and new, as Tony Pavlovich was the only returning player with game exper- ience, commented Coach Simmons, better known as Oz. Hitters James Bouwer, Kasey Curtis, and Chris Lambert, along with setter Drew Brislen and middle blockers Shane Mihaylo and Tony Pavlo- vich, were predicted to be the strengths of the team which was to sweep the league and place first, according to Coach Simmons. The team ' s strengths, defense and improvement, were pat to the test in their toughest competition against El Toro. Prior to the season ' s first game an optimistic J. V. Coach Jana Laster predicted a First in league. Returning hitters Mick Peters and Brandon Mazza - cavallo, along with setter Peter McSweeney and middle blocker Travis Barr, formed the strong backbone of the team that is necessary in competi- tions against such tough schools as El Toro and San Clemente. While size and smarts were the strong points of the team, the predicted weaknesses were skills and strength. Scrappy, tenacious, and enthusiastic were the ad- jectives applied to the frosh-soph team by their coach, Greg McBride. The only weakness that was anticipated prior to season competitions (the toughest of which was expected to be Capo Val- ley) was inexperience, said McBride. The team included Matt Young, a returning mid- dle blocker, and skilled Jacob Summers; the boys and their coach hoped to place in the top three of league.
