JV, varsity have memorable season his has been the most en- joyable and certainly most memorable season I have a ever coached, stated Coach Janet Krack, adding. The varsity team showed everyone this year how tough they really are. Krack was named Coach of the Year for the third consecutive year, but when asked how she felt about this she said, As you well know, coaches only look as good as their teams. The varsity team went with a 28-6 record en route to their third consecutive City League volleyball championship that they shared with North. This year's team is extraordinary, commented Krack, before naming certain honors the girls earned. LaVonna Jacobs, Heidi Wimmer and Monica Spencer were all named All City first team, and Tracy Coslett was named All City second team. Delores Murillo was nam- ed All City honorable mention. Jacobs was also named 1983 state- honorable mention and Wimmer to the all state team. Jacobs and Spencer were named Washburn Rural High School All- Tournament team, while Wimmer was named Most Valuable Player in the tourna- ment. Spencer was honored by being the 1983 Most Valuable Player for East High School. The City League Championship score was 15-1, and the team was runner up in the Northwest Tournament. At the Washburn Rural Tournament, the varsity team placed third. They earned the title of sub-state champions and were mnner up in the state finals. Several new school records were set this year also. LaVonnaJacobs established school records for total points scored and having the most serves. School records for most spikes and spiking aces went to Heidi Wim- mer. But among the junior varsity, the out- come was not as positive. The JV squad's overall record for the season was 8-11. I felt with the small number of players' we had, we did a really good job. They prac- ticed hard and never gave up, said Coach Pat Reynolds. 2 f Vmayfjv Volleyball' 1.

5 1 1 East players advance to state pla offs r think the girls' determina- , tion, hard work and loyalty made our team a strong team, placing fourth in the city out of nine schools, said Berta White, women's tennis coach. The girls had a 4-3 record and placed fourth in the City League tournament. Judy Wong and Karen Frazier played singles in Regionals, and the teams of julie Wilson and Kathy Adams and Robby Peters and julie Davidson play doubles. Wilson and Adams were 1-1, but Peters and Davidson had a 3-1 record, which allowed them to place second in doubles at Regionals. They then went to State where their record was 0-1. This was a rebuilding year, said White. We had only two returning letter- women, we had very weak doubles at the beginning, which we corrected mid-season, and our doubles became our strongest ad- vantage, ' ' she explained. 1 f ' 1 -2 ,tr 79 1 V. wma .,,, we Q 4 I.
