The young team, under Coach Kathy James and Assistam Coach Carol Dobiu, had only two starters returning this year. Wegh and Annette Sabot, both all- conference picks last year, were back to lead the Blue Chicks to a 7-1 conference record that claimed the runner-up spot. Sub-districts, held in Spear fish, SD. found the Chicks with a third place showing. It takes a great team effort to put together a rough team. Hard work, enthusiasm, outstanding plays, win- ning the long rallies, and the hours of practice were all parr of making the Blue Chicks successful. Coach James also showed the team that it was possible to have fun on the court as well. She was big on smiles and laughter as long as there was no intensity lost. A few things the Chicks will remember from the season are the big nose glasses worn to South Dakota, cookie , and the splashing good time in Spear fish. Seniors Janell Lar- son and co-captain Vicki Sax added plenty of laughter and created many good memories. Julie F.mmert displays some of the craiy fun the Chicks had by dressing up as a cow-chick cheer- leader . She also proved that there was more to the game than actual playing as she cheered the ream on. Here she helps Coach Dobitr with the statistics, while other team members relax (F). Sabot, an all around player, shows her determination as she bumps the ball from her knees (J) and as she passes to Aune as her teammates look on (I). Tami Christianson, a freshman recruit, demonstrates her spiking ability as she tries to tip the ball over a Valley City opponent (H). Memories of the exciting wins such as those over BJC andJamestown, will always remain with the team members, as will the disappointing losses. This year's all-conference picks of Wegh. Sabot and Aune, and the fans who supported them all year, will stay in the minds and hearts of this special team for years tt come.
