Four of the starting lineup. Fae Foster. Keeley Clark, Stephanie Harrop and Charmanc Johnson, regroup between serves. I've had fun playing volleyball. I've made some of my best friends and encountered some of the most difficult challenges Charmane Johnson Keeley Clark concentrates on her killer serve — she has been known to destroy some teams by acing her serves every time. Senior Charmane Johnson yells, Call the ball! as Stephanie Harrop and Fae Foster collide in order to save the play. This season was the most difficult and yet the most rewarding for me, as I had to deal with my knee. It was almost like starting over. Keeley Clark Volleyball was a great experience for me- working as a team and learning to deal with failure as well as success. Susannah Rolfs many new freshmen joined the team. Keeley Clark, a valuable asset to the team, was unable to do more than walk because of a knee injury. With the help of Beverly Hise, head coach, and the assistant coaches, Marcia Richards and Robin DeRouen, each girl began to combine her separate talents with those of others to become a team. The coaches encouraged the girls to do their best, and were so enthusiastic about volleyball, they made up a theme for the season. This year's theme was 'Top Gun. The coaches encouraged the girls to do their best, to be top guns , as it were. Before each game, pep talks were held in the locker room, along with the poster of Tom Cruise and the planes the coaches had made to remind the team to do their best. As a whole, it was a very successful season in several ways. Keeley, who had to play every game with a brace on her knee, overcame her injury and was named All-District Most Valuable Player. She was also later named to the All-State Tournament Team. Her teammate, Stacey Wimp, was recognized as All-State Honorable Mention. Elizabeth Timmons, a first-year sophomore, lettered on varsity and was named Most-Improved Player. The girls all worked hard, and as proof, the team was ranked number one in Division III in the state all season, and their match record was 25-6. All six losses were in tournaments, and all to teams in New Orleans. Even though this year was very successful, the most important aspect according to the coaches, was that the girls learned to work together for a fun, memorable season. Elizabeth Timmons, who amazes herself as well as the opposing teams by her ability to slam the ball, goes up for the block.
