| Spikers earn state rating during season Claiming wins in their first eight outings, Hemingford's volleyball Bobcats earned their first State Top Ten Rating ever by the Lincoln Star-Journal. The eighth place rating came after the Cats defeated the state-rated Morrill Lions in the championship game of the Hemingford Invitational Tour- nament. Coach Duane Knaub felt the girls had improved over last year and most of the time played well as a team. He said that the season was fair, but not what it could have or should have been, especially at the end of the season. Some of the team members felt that they had a good season but did not play up to their potential. Hemingford participated in the Hemingford, Alliance, conference and district tournaments. The team placed first in the Hemingford Invitational Tournament, fourth in the Alliance Invitational Tournament and second in the Panhandle Conference Tournament. In the Hemingford tourney, Shirley Smith and Sherri Wood were named to the All-Tournament team. All Conference selections were first teamers Shirley Smith and Sherri Wood and second teamers Dianne Swanson and Michele Grabher. 14 volleyball
