This action in uolleyball really gets the crowd yelling and cheering. These moments show that we really do things differently.

( Me€f €iee It was a cool October evening and our traditonal rival strolled into the gym . . . Judson. The Hornets had al- ready established them selves as one of the top JV teams in the city and the district. Judson had something to prove. The teams battled back and forth, and the spiking was something fierce. And then, all of a sudden, the lights went out. One third of the power was restored, but it Just wasn ' t enough for the Hornets. When the lights went out all I could think of was — oh great we ' re losing already and the lights went out on our side. Gia Iden, said. The Hornets put up a good fight for a come back, but Just couldn ' t pull it off Playing with the lights out was pretty fun- ny, a very different way of playing volleyball. Valerie Mendoza, said. This will be a game long remembered in eve ryone ' s mind. Donna Craig Todd Cieiencki DINK IT OVERI Reaching over her opponent, Debbie Pecina dinks the ball to the other side. Quick thinking and timing makes volleyball an interesting sport to watch. BUMP IT, SET IT, SPIKE ITt Beatric Corbin gets the first bump from a serve so she can return it to the setter for the set up for a spike. These three things are essential elements in becoming a good volleyball team. The team really shows how enthused and well organized they are.

The team u orked as a whole and sur- prised many of the opposing teams. With height and speed the girls spiked their way into the gyms of many schools. Close games really hurt the Junior Varsity throughout the season, but these near losses made them try even harder to win than ever before. New and exciting plays were performed. The Hornet team led attacks upon their op- ponents and scored points with each attack. The spirit and togetherness really helped the team to keep their performances together and produced a lot of effort. Throughout the season the Hornets had surprising upsets by teams like Judson, Churchill, and Seguin. In each, the Hornets put up a tough match, but sometimes fell short in getting a victory. We did a real good Job this season. We had strength, height, and stamina to keep playing the best we could, Kim Murray, junior, said. The Hornets had an uphill battle the whole way but hung on to show the other teams that we did not give up easily. We never give up. We keep going strong until the finish. We have the capability to raise ourselves up whenever we fall down, Gia Iden, Junior, said. A tough district like this one really made everyone work a little harder to strive for that win. Even tho ugh the Hornets suffered many losses and setbacks they kept their heads held high and the spirit they needed to work to their fullest ability and capacity. The season was tough but the JV held on and showed others that they could take any kind of beating and could stand on their own two feet. They were also able to overcome any loss no matter what the point margin may have been. Todd Cieiencki and Lana Fulral Junior Varsity Volleyball by Todd Cieiencki and Lana Futral . . . 90
