Phil Peters 1 Spikers Use Fighting Spirit T Make SeohoIm's Best Record Ever eating all previous Seaholm Volleyball records, the 1983-84 Girls Varsity Volleyball had an outstanding 21 wins and only 3 losses. Coach Midge Mills commented on the team's good record by saying, This has been an extremely hard working and cohesive group. You don't often have a team with the high physical skill level and at the same time the outstanding intellectual level found in this squad. The team this year was comprised of eleven girlsg one sophomore, five juniors and five seniors. These players, when molded together, formed a superb team which was certainly no easy task to beat. In the Milford Lakeland Tournament, the Mighty Maple Spikers took first place by defeating Rochester Adams in the final round of play, 15-5 and 15-2. In the Dryden Tournament at Dryden High School, Seaholm lost to the hosts who are ranked number one in Class D. In the SMA this year, Seaholm was very hard to overcome. They lost only two of their twelve league games. These two losses were to number one rival Kimball and the Ferndale Eagles. Seaholm was in the race for first place, but lost a tough game to Kimball at the Knights home ground. Summing up the season, Coach Mills says, This team has been a joy to coach no excuses. We had an excellent team and I look very much forward to coaching these girls next year. 0 GIRLS VOLLEYBALL 191
