Spikes, and ump Spikes! Kills! Aces! These are a few of the terms used in the game of volleyball. This year's Varsity Volleyball team, consisting of 11 players, ended their season in style. Fin- ishing with a 14-10 record and a regional championship, they proved that hard work paid off. Starting practice on August 18, before school even began, they ran, hit, served, and strained for at least 2 hours, twice a day, including Saturdays. li When the first game rolled around, they weren't as ready as they thought they were, fall- ing ll-15, 15-12, 5-15 to Bloomington in a conference game. Coming back in the sec- ond game against Cenntenial, they won by a wide margin, 15- 6, 15-6. This year's varsity team had many outstanding performers. Leading the team in most serves and most aces was Marsha Bla- cet. Blacet and Kathy Dear- dorff shared the lead in serving points. ln spiking, or kills , Bloomington 11-5, 15-12, 5-15 Cenntenial 15-6, 15-6 Stephen Decatur 15-6, 15-7 Monticello 15-13, 15-ll Rantoul 15-6, 17-15 MacArthur 15-6, 15-12 Danville 15-9, 6-15, 15-10 Matton 12-15, 4-15 Urbana 15-6, 15-13 Lincoln 12-15, 10-15 St. Teresa 15-8, 15-6 Central 11-15.5-15 Cenntenlal 15-12, 15-6 Blue Mound 6-15, 13-15 Lanphicr 15-6, 6-15, 15-ll Cenntenial 15-4, 18-16 Stewardson-Strasburg 0-15, 12-15 Normal 4-15, 10-15 Lanphicr 11-15,15-10,16-18 Mt.

Tammi Patton led the team in blocks. At the end of the season, Mr. Wilks gave out awards to these three members and a few other athletes. To Marsha Blacet and Kathy Deardorff went the MVP award, for it was impossi- ble to choose one or the other. Also to these two went a special medal for lettering three years in this sport. To Missy Stone went the Most Improved Award, who accomplished the difficult task of going from a backrow bumper to a full time setter. To Tammi Patton went the Most Blocks award, with a total of 91. And last but not least, Kelly Ronnow was named the team captain, an award that goes to a contributor who doesn't get much playing time. The team proved to be a good one, many players will be re- turning for another good year. ACCORDING TO MRS. Anthony. the Junior Varsity Volleyball Team had a five hundred season.

cross-country and Golf Golf Coach aids team, Cross-Country 7- There were close to 20 people ' on this year's golfteam. Of that 20, there were six starters who attended all the meets. There were qualifying rounds in the beginning of the year to deter- mine who the six starters would be. Out of all those in the rounds, Mike Locke, Brian Habbe, Dave Zacheis, Rick Martin, Jeff Oost, and Bruce Sattley made it as the six start- ers. Mr. Jim LeMaster was the coach. He is a pro and competed in tournaments himself. Many of the players believed the fact that he was a pro helped give them an advantage over other teams. According to one starter, Excellence wasn't stressedg participation and opportunity to play were.

Finishing with a good season, the cross-country team ended the season with a 7-6 overall re- cord. The team was almost twice the size as last year's team. Mr. Bob Smith. their coach, is also a runner. He ran with the team and provided comfort and cn- couragement with this typical comment, Success comes most often to those who run the straightest line between two points. Having fresh talent in the freshmen, next year's team can be expected to be a good team. - By Angie Kovach and Todd Gillespie EHS Nor., E.H.S.. Lin. ll l-219-227 C. CEN.. E.H.S. I97-231 Grif.. Lin..
