Volleyball A Growing Sport The J.V. Volleyball team under the guidance of Coach Linda Hoback once again had a winning season. Off to a great start the girls suffered a lapse with the absence of Michele O'Brien, who was moved up to varsity. The team regrouped, worked hard and got on the winning track again to end up with a overall season record of 8-4. One of the most exciting moments was a close game between Illinois Valley and Hidden Valley. Our J.V. girls handed Hidden Valley their only loss of the season. The only Skyline losses were to Henley and Eagle Point. Left to right: Shellie Mason, Bonnie Miller, Michele O'Brien, Susan Meyer, Becky Filloon, Cheryl Clark and Coach Jim Johnston. Not pictured, Robin Brummett and Julie Jenson. The team played very well under pressure and proved to be one of the best teams in the conference. Karen Taylor was awarded most improved player, although all of the players on the team improved tremendously throughout the season. Joy Bell and Charlene Pope were the most consistant servers. Darlena Dick, Caroline Honeycutt and Cindy Gould were swing Varsity players. The 1977 junior Varsity players will be an asset to either the Varsity or J.V. team of 1978. The Volley- ball program should be as strong or stronger next year, because of the efforts of the Junior Varsity Jeam. Standing; J.V.

J.V. Volleyball OPPONENT I.V.H.S. CRATER WON ST. MARY'S LOST HENLEY WON EAGLE POINT LOST LAKEVIEW WON GRANTS PASS LOST NORTH VALLEY WON PHEONIX WON HIDDEN VALLEY WON ROGUE RIVER WON The year 1977 marked the first time Illinois Valley High School had a freshman volleyball team. For most of the girls, it was a new experience as they had never played before. The girls practiced hard, learned basic skills, and improved. In spite of their efforts, it was not a winning season. Several times the girls vollied and games went into overtime, bringing hope, but ending in a loss. This year's experience on the volleyball court will give some girls background for playing Junior Varsity. Picture 1: Help! Picture 2: Ah, ... it was nothing.''
