M Lady Generals Repeat Pla -off Role A new coach and no gym were two major obstacles that the 1983 varsi- ty volleyball team had to overcome before capping off another suc- cessful season. The Lady Generals were ranked second in district C13- 95 as they marched to bi-district play-offs for the fourth year in a row. The Ladies did an outstanding job, stated coach Ann Couch. Getting them to play together as a team was one of the reasons for our successes. The Ladies' season began in January with spring training. Daily running through miserable condi- tions prompted the team to select Hurt So Good as their theme song. In August they learned that Hur- ricane Alicia had destroyed their gym. This, however, did not discourage the Ladies. They took refuge in Hambrick's gym. Several members excelled in court play and leadership. Their ef- forts did not go unrewarded. Donna Rex and Linda Brewer were selected to First Team All-District and Evangela Wallace was selected to Second Team All-District. While adapting to new methods o1 practice and play, team members became very close. They developed the togetherness of a close family, sharing each other's joys and sadnesses. This team was basically com- piled of friends, explained Kim Vick. lt was great knowing that your teammates would be behind you no matter what. dps by

Freshmen Gain Experience The freshman teams this year had new experience. Along with chang- ng schools, they also faced new oaches. They soon learned high chool football practice was longer nd harder. Although their 6-4 record did not eflect it, the team showed a lot of letermination. The A team, led by Everette Jones nd Rico Rios, showed promising talent for the coming years. Our team's record could have been better with effort, stated Rico Rios. The B team did a great offensive job this year, and will contribute to the success of the teams in years to come. B teamer Humberto Her- nandez said, Football taught me to grow physically and mentally. kelly ontiveros I9 I ll9Cll00,iueLuqse1i
