Varsity gains helpful skills despite losses Despite the 9-23 season record, the Varsity volleyball team did well because they played against stiffer compe- tition than in past years, coach Cindy Gee said. The team played mostly against 4A and 5A schools in- stead of the 2A and 3A schools. Taylor, Pflugerville, and Bastrop were our toughest opponents. They had strong hitters and servers, but we were ready for them, senior Lynette Whitley said. Playing the 5A schools helped to prepare the team for District tournaments be- cause they played against 4A schools, senior Roni Her- nandez said. There was not a lot of Var- sity experience on the team, but the girls had a willingness and desire to work hard and win. Gee said. We lacked on the court because we had a lot of young and new players that had not played Varsity volleyball be- fore, Hernandez said. Seniors faced the season as it being the last year of their high school volleyball career. I ' ve had a good career in volleyball and I ' ve enjoyed it a lot. Coach Gee really helped me meet my goals, Whitley said. Spirit on the court had a lot to do with girls ' performance while in a game. The team ' s strength this year was spirit on the court and our ability to work to- gether. Paula Houston has contributed the most to the team because of her spirit, Hernandez said. With 1 2 and a half hours of practice each week, some- times the routine got old, but all the practicing had a pur- pose. Lifting weights was the worst part of practice because it was tiring and boring, but it payed off because it helped our spiking which improved our game more, Hernandez said. •IftP. nr»-. ivafl Oetting g L, ,» jK ♦ nior Ch .v-v ' %fP, withe; Getting the points for the team, se- Christine Sellers spikes the ball ase and grace.
