Hit Me With Your Best Our tennis team had eight great players this season. Seniors: Shelli jones, jane Lemna, Linda Wuellner, and Capt. Stephanie Behrends. Sopho- mores: Monica Canham, and Kelly Ha- zenfield, Freshmen: Kelly Androff, and Christy Hill. Senior Shelli, who began playing in second grade, has won three letters and was voted The Most Improved Play- er. We had a great season but the weather was a big let down to us this year, she stated. Capt. Behrends has played tennis for five years, and has earned two letters. The only personal goals she had were to win Sectionals, go to State, and to improve my personal playing skills, remarked Stephanie. She plans on at- tending Richland and Eastern, she also 1.

We'll need more girls or we won't have a strong team next year, stated Coach Chamberlain. The tennis team was very strong this past season. We had many good returning play- ers. Mr. Chamberlain has coached boys' tennis for 12 years, but girls' ten- nis only 2 years. Their Conference Record was 5-0, and overall record was 9-O. They re- ceived 23rd in the state, won Section- als, and received Second place in their Conference. The Most Valuable play- er was voted Stephanie. Next year's captain will be Kelly Hazenfield. Spe- cial congratulations to Christy Hill, Kelly Hazenfield, Linda Wuellner, and Stephanie Behrends. '. f . 1'- if' 'S 'is

Breaking This year's Varsity Volleyball Team consisted of eleven girls. Sen- iors were Darla Henry, Missy But- tolph, Michelle Miller, Tammy Blancett, and Capt. Kathy Dear- dorff. juniors were jill Redden, Dawn Pitman, Candy Andricks, and Vickie Bonnell. Sophomores were Kristi Daggett, and Beth Spycher. The girls had an outstanding sea- son with a 25-7 overall record and a 9-2 record in the Big 12 Conference. They also broke the school record for the most wins in one season. They won Regionals for the third year in a row by beating Mt. Zion and Taylorville. Sectionals were a different story. They went for four games C10-15, 4-15, 15-13, 12-15D but they were still defeated. The girls felt that they had a strong season and a strong team. They knew what they should have done to win the games that they lost. Two-year captain, Kathy Dear- dorff, felt that she met the goals she Records set, and she felt this was her best year played. Mr. Wilks will have a strong team next year, he has good players coming back, stated Kathy. She says she does plan on playing volleyball in college. First-year setter Spycher felt her setting was pretty good, consider- ing it was a new position. Next year, I feel that my setting will im- prove, because it is a difficult ad- justment, remarked Beth. Our team did exceptionally well, and I was really impressed with my performance, stated Mi- chelle. M- Tammy, who came to the front row as a permanent position, was really impressed with my perfor- mance. I did not do much in the front row, but what I did usually benefitted the team. A front-row player, Vickie, won back her back row position during mid-season. She felt that she had a pretty good year, I really worked hard this year, and I'm ready for next year, She will be a big help next year to her coach. Dawn Pitman, Beth Spycher, and Kathy Deradorff were named for the Big 12 Volleyball team. This is Kathy's third year and Dawn's and Beth's first year. Coach Wilks was glad that the girls had such a good year. Next 1 year's team will be just as good, o better than this year's team becausi they have worked together for a least two years. I was confident w- could win the Regionals. We tool- fourth place in the Central Illinoi Invitational, but Sectional was z real fight. So we met all our goals!' sf 3,, Front row Cleft to rightj: Kim Crisman, Kristi Daggett,jill Redden, Mr. Wilks, Kathy Deardorff, Darla Henry, Valerie Bonnell.
