We had a great season. I really enjoyed coaching these young ladies. I will never forget them and their cooperation. Connie Jessen responded why she enjoyed volleyball this year was. We did better than we had done in the past. We played more as a team. There were also more out. Getting new uniforms. commented LuAnn Jorgensen, is what she will remember. There were some embarrassing moments in volleyball that some will remember, like Con- nie Jessen getting hit in the head by a spike. Judy Robinson running into a volleyball cable, and Lori Kommes tripping in front of the boy's locker room at Elk Horn and spraining her ankle. But. no matter what the embarrass- ment. Volleyball in 1982 was well worth the effortl
