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.

UM. Awesome is but one of the words that could be used to describe the Var- sity Basketball team this year. Out- standing and fantastic are others, but the most applicable would be - SUR- PRlSEllll At the beginning of the year, Coach Witt was faced with a team void of starters with the exception of Dan An- droff. But what an exception! He was one of the leading scorers on the team and was a natural leader because of his four years on the varsity squad. He was voted MVP in the Illinois State Classic. As for the rest of the Team? Well, they had a tremendously successful season and surprised and delighted us all by winning the Turkey Tournament at Griswold and the Illinois State Clas- sic at Normal. As icing on the victory cake, the Panthers were ranked thir- teenth in the state by the Associated Press. Aundra Holloway, one of the four seniors of the starting five, felt that the Panthers had an outstandingly success- ful season. He did not expect them to be so successful at first. Coach Witt has a lot of confidence in us this year and we did not let him down, the talented forward summed up. Danny Androff was Eisenhower's pride and joy when it came to making points. Pivot man Danny's goals were to break the school record, to go to State, and to make the Big 12 team. Coach Witt expects to have a good team next year. Many of his players will be returning, and he suspects that forward Ecl Carnine will be a driving force. We will have a good group for our next year's team, stated Coach Witt. Danny Androff set new school re- cord of 1271. The PANTHERAMA wishes Coach Witt good luck on his 1985- 1986 team. front:-I. Ellis, K. Schneider, M. Smith, D. Androff, A. Holloway, E. Carnine, K.
