The 1986 Junior Varsity team finished its season with a record of three wins (one by forfeit) and three losses with no ties. Attitude and intensity, which definitely were lacking at the beginning of the season, showed good improvement by the season ' s end, said Coach Gegner. 72 Football

Spikers in Action Volleyball is a sport that requires agility, coordination and en- durance. The ladies on the ' 86 Volleyball team had these qualities and many more. This year ' s team composed of a Senior, 3 Juniors, and the rest Sophomores, is a young team that will build in the future. Though instead of showing their youth, this team proved their experience and dedication. This was demonstrated through one of the team goals, which was to work together as a team and not as in- dividuals. Other team goals for the season were improving every game and winning C.S. A. C. Each member of the team had at least one position she played. Many had more than that. Sophomores Angie Fager, Dawn Goodbar, Cathy Mitchell, and Juniors Amy Asher and Kelly McSpadden all served as outside hitters and blockers. Sophomores Johnnie Wolfe and Kyle Ahnafield and Junior Jennifer Sipes all played in the back row. Setting, blocking, and serving as a middle hitter were the jobs of Sophomore Angie Lan- dis and Senior Susan Wenzlick. Angie Landis, because of her ex- pert playing, was named to the All- Conference team. During the Fall Sports Award Ceremony, Senior Susan Wenzlick was announced Most Valuable Player by her teammates. Susan was also the team captain. Junior Jennifer Sipes ' s teammates selected her for the Citizenship Award. The Volleyball team began prac- ticing in early August and their last meet was in late October. Their season is long and hard, but this team is made up of the right group of girls who can get the job done. Sophomore Dawn Goodbar said, Volleyball is a lot of work, but I like it a lot. 74 Volleyball
