grusing guides young team First-year coach Meredith Grusing and assistant coach Kathy Sugg guided a young Blue Dragon volleyball team to a 28-12 record for the 1979 season. Only six sophomores returned to the team this year. They included Brenda Coyne, Des Hering, Bonnie Loop, Becki Stramel, Bernice Wedel, and Patti Wyland. However, the remainder of the team, which was composed of freshmen, stepped in to provide an admirable amount of leadership for the Dragons. The team finished the season in sub-regional action by losing to Cloud County, 15-6, 10-15, and 8-15. Rita Ramsey grimaces as she attempts to return the ball. Team members Bernice Wedel and Tammy Totland look on anxiously as Patty Wyland makes her move.
