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.

These were just a few of the skills that Eisenhower's team exhibited this year. Mr. Cham- berlain, the coach of the girl's tennis team, was just one ofthe reasons why the team was so successful. He had been coach- ing boys for the past ten years, but this last season, he coached the girls team for the first time. There's not that temper prob- lem in girls as there had been in boys, Mr. Chamberlain was quoted saying. Their record being 9-3, he felt they had stressed the right aspects. They worked hard on the net play and strived to make their doubles much stronger. All the determination and skill paid off. Eisenhower won the Regionals, therefore, qualifying for state. Julie Berba and Stephanie Beherends won the Regional doubles and played four matches before they were eliminated at state. Shelli Jones and Barb Wuellner placed fourth in doubles at the Region- als, and Linda Wuellner plac third in singles. Next year, Mr. Chamberla planned to work on doubles e pecially, making a good recor and improving the young players who would soon be t backbone of this team. Overall, the season was se by most to be excellent.
