All Players Agree — Mr. Joslin Was a Very Good Coach! The junior high volleyball team had a good season this year with the 7th grade winning 7 and losing 10 games and the 8th grade winning 5 and losing 10 games. There were 17 seventh graders and 10 eighth graders out for volleyball this year which was a big increase from last year. Many exciting games were played during the season. The girls agree that Manilla and Anita were the easiest games they played and Elk Horn was the most difficult game that they played. Mr. Joslin was a very good coach and willing to help each girl. stated Stacy Thompson. Becky Figgins agreed that he was a good coach who helped us to learn and improve our game. Teresa Wolf commented. I would like to see us play more conference games. Karen Froker would like to see more games and a longer season. Tracy Olsen enjoyed this sport because it was always exciting. There was something going on ail the time. It also taught her how to play as a team. The 7th grade team members included Jodi Larsen. Dawn Sams. Tracy Olsen. Stacy Thompson. Stacy Hansen. Joleah Flathers. Jolene Kirchoff. Jennifer Emery. Teresa Wolf. Jodi Nielsen. Debra Schrampfer. Mary Hanika. Amy Luft. Jennifer Petersen. Ann Van Aernam. Melanie Kelly, and Tracy Venteicher. The 8th grade members include Pam Lohoff. Sherri Dennis. Karen Froker. Tricia Luft. Becky Figgins. Shanna Wolf. Linda Hansen. Dana Brinkmeir. Kelly Jensen, and Molly Olinger. Considering the practice time we had. I feel we did quite well. I thought the 8th grade could have done better; but. when you consider only 3 of them were out last year, they did all right. I enjoyed the season, especially the last day of it when both 7th and 8th grade won.” stated their coach. Mr. Joslin. BURR STUDIO 30 Jr. High Volleyball
