Volleyball Team Finishes 4th The girls’ varsity volleyball team consisted of only two seniors, with underclassmen making up the majority of the team. The girls ended the season with a 7 win - 8 loss record. In conference stand- ings, the team finished the year in a 3-way tie for fourth. Junior Crystal Malaney was named to the All-Conference 2nd team. A highlight of the season for the girls was the support that they received from the football team at the home games. With only two seniors on the team, there was a lack of experience, but the returning members plan to make a great showing next fall. The team was coached by Ms. Hofrock, in her first year at DHS. In action to the left, 1) Crystal’s skills which lead to her B-East 2nd team selection are obvious; 2) Kellie checks to see what help Patty might need against Thatcher’s defense. Lady Kats pictured below include Coach Hofrock, Lorene Felts, Crystal Malaney, Karla Goodner, Kathy Segraves, Kellie Barlow, Patty Segraves, Buffy Price, Jana Lunt and Dolores Burrola. 13

The young Kats started the season with an 8-6 victory over Thatcher, ending the reign of the Eagles. Their only loss of the season was at the hands of Lordsburg. The Kats showed pride, fighting until the end, where they lost the game on the final play as the Kat offense was unable to hold the ball. The score was 14-8. With their only night game, the Kats rose up to beat Pima 28-0, having a field day on the gridiron. In their final game, the Kats traveled to Morenci where the young Kat machine continued to roll with a 23-6 victory over their bigger, Class-A op- ponent.
