The team did, however, make a good showing in the North Lake College Classic Tournament by placing third. An outstanding player on the team was Joanna Hooker, who received first team All District while also compiling All-Tournament player in all three of the tourneys in which she played. I guess we did okay even though we were young, Joanna said. The second half of the season was better because we were used to how each other played, she added.

ll olleyba Five girls chosen for varsity Unolerclass players moved to team The JV volleyball team had an arousing season this year. 'ilt was the largest group we ever had. There were 28 players, most- ly sophomores, but there was one junior, said Ms. Teresa Price, coach of Varsity volleyball, who aided Mrs. Aundrea Cambell, coach ot JV volleyball. The JV team had its ups and downs, but the endurance and depth of each in' dividual player made the season go easier. According to Coach Price, the season developed five strong players. They were Virginia Bechtel, junior, Rachel Finstad, sophomore, Debbie Gruca, sophomore, Christy Gulledge, sophomore, and Sherry Wilson, sophomore. The players will most likely to be moved to varsity volleyball next year. The season ended with three wins and thirteen losses. The season consisted of three tournaments held at Grand Prairie, Plano, and the district tournament at LD. Bell, At Grand Prairie, Plano and Bell the team placed fifth. Coach Price and Coach Cambell both enjoyed the sesaon as much as the team members did. Even though the JV team was young, this obstacle was overcome by the dedicas tion and loyalty of each player. I think we'll do a lot better next year since we'll have mostly juniors on the JV team, said Ronda Dickerman, sophomore. l'm really looking forward to next year, she added. J.V.
