Making sure her fingers lift the ball straight in the air is Kim Clayborne. Playing the net one must set the ball up for the other team members to spike it down. Kim is a senior this year and plays very well knowing that she will not have another chance after the season is over. Varsity Volleyball by Todd Cielencki and Lana Futral . . 86

Varsity strives iiard Throughout the whole season the Var- sity uolleyball team struggled to win their games in a very tough district. With long hours of practice the Varsity team stroue to reach new heights. They tried their hardest to win but at times seemed to come up a couple of points short of a uictory. We were a very competitive group and enjoyed playing with each other. Even though we had a tough season with all our losses we still are the champions, Senior, Kim Clayborne, said. The Hornets bumped, set, and spiked their way into many games. High enthusiasm and spirits ted the way to many of the close losses. The competition was fierce, but the Hornets hung on and stroue to new heights. There were a lot of near misses and wins throughout the season and that is what made the girts work harder and longer until the season ended. The girls ' record ended with more losses than wins, but in all the players minds they were winners. Spectators also played giant roles in the girls ' enthusiasm. Large number of fans began to come to the girls ' games. The crowds cheered, yelled, booed, and hissed but that is part of cheering on your favorite team. Yes, there were many games that went down to the last two points so excitement was overwhelming in the gym. The girls showed what they were made of and showed other opposing teams that they were the ones to contend with. The season was rough and competitive, but I think we succeeded in the things we tried. I think this season was one of the best we have ever had, M ' lchele Hanson, senior, said. With disappointing setbacks in games against Churchill and Roosevelt, this was the base to which the girls set their standards and from there on improved from their mis- takes. The Hornets stroue and reached their goals and kept their heads held high. Todd Cieienclct and Lana Fulral Todd Cieiencki MINE1 Making sure orie calls the ball lets teammates know one is going in for the attack. One has three tries to get the ball over to the opposing opponent and must be ready at all times for their return of the ball. Chantel Fields displays all these qualities of a good uolleyball player. SLAM IT DOWN. Giving it all she s got. Cina Grande spikes the ball as Tammy Hollan waits for the return. Volleyball takes a lot of hard work and practice which all sums up to dedication. The team works close to- gether, and Tammy and Gina show that best friends work well together. Z tt ( i ft The Hornet volleyball team featured many out- standing volleyball play- ers, but two stood out in the District ' s eye. Tam- my Hollan and Kimberly Clayborne. Tammy was picked by the District to the first team All-District team while Kim was picked to the Honorable Mention team. The two girls were picked for their out- standing performances on the court. Tammy for her hitting and blocking, and Kim for her setting. They added to make this season the best Todd Cieiencki SPIKING OOTI As Chantel Fields spikes the ball over the net. teammates wait arvdously for the return of the ball. Their dedication makes the team not only the best at playing but also in attitudes and keeping their heads up when things don t go right. Todd Cieiencki 87 . . . Sports
