Vermilyea. TRIUMPHANT YOUNG SPIKERS A team with a first-year coach is not expected to do very well; but Holt ' s JV Girls ' Volleyball Team proved this to be wrong. Under the watchful eye of 1979 Holt graduate Robin Ramsay, the team soared to an 11-4 record. These top results earned them a first-place tie with Sexton in the CACs. Watching the girls improve and gain skill throughout the entire season made me love coaching them, said Ramsay. Sophomore Kristin Chapman said, The low point of the season was when it ended! STRETCH!

JV GROWS TOUGHER Award winning effort and teamwork were the dominate characteristics of the Boys ' JV Basketball T eam. Dedication was evident in each game even though the season ended with a disappointing 6-14 record. A very proud coach, Peter Kressler, commented, Our success should be measured on our effort and improvement. This group worked well as a team and did not value themselves as single units. The best thing that can be said about these young men is that they are gentlemen in the best sense. Team leader Todd Glynn added, The season had its difficult moments, but all in all, the team ' s closeness always kept the season in an up. Although every player contributed to the success of the team, statistically Mike Salisbury was leading scorer with a 13 point average per game and Travis Faulds was second with II points per game. Outstanding in defense, according to Coach Kressler, was Rick Iribarren. ROW I: T. Faulds, F. Watts, M. Donley. B. Stearns. S. Lounds. C. iehner. ROW 2-. Coacli P. Kressler, M. Salisbury, T.

DIFFICULT JV SEASON The season could best be described as an all out struggle. Pitching appeared to be the team ' s biggest problem. Trying to find a pitcher that could throw more than three innings at one time was what hurt us, explained Coach Bruce Larner. On the positive side was the Boys ' JV Baseball Team ' s second place finish in the Sexton JV Invitational Adam Taught felt it was one of the season ' s highest moments. Taught led the team at the plate with a .387 batting average followed closely by Kevin Tolleth who hit .382. Ken Wolverton was the pitching ace with four of the team ' s six wins. Although the team was not as united as it could have been. Coach Larner felt it still accomplished some of the necessary things at the JV level making it a worthwhile season.
