Oat, 7 xev z — ZOe (2 me ' This year's volleyball team had a new coach for the 1980 year. Coach Johnson commented, Volleyball was a new sport to me but after last year and the enthusiasm of the players. I have caught the volleyball fever. Look out, Iowa, Here we come!” Unfortunately, the girls' record for the season was 0-16. Many of the girls were new at this sport, too. There were 14 girls out; Robin Juelsgaard was the only returning player. 7 26 “ZOe tenxt s4ato, s4t£a ttcc

1 Mr. Johnson commented that the team was inexperi- enced. “Toward the end of the season, though, they devel- oped and worked well together. The players showed alot of potential and they learned as each game went on. They cor- rected their mistakes each game they played. The J.V. and freshmen showed potential and next year they’ll be able to show everyone that they can be winners.” Sherri Wilkerson commented that her most pleasant memory was “being player of the week.” She also com- mented, Volleyball allows the girls to have the experience of playing volleyball competitively. Volleyball is a great sport that takes alot of skill to be played well. Volleyball teaches the team coordination, responsibility, unity, and many val- ues.” Barbie Hill commented, “I admired Iver Johnson for put- ting up with us because at times we were really impossible. I thought that if he could stick it out, so could anyone else.” The team had a picnic in the park during the tournament at Shelby. Everyone grilled hamburgers in the wind, played Truth or Dare” and ate a huge picnic lunch.
