When many people think of Girls' Field Hockey, two main thoughts come to mind: the aggressiveness of the sport and the peculiar looking uniforms. In order to be successful, the aggressivness is required and as for the uniforms, the plaid skirt or kilt has been traditional since the sport originated in In- dia. This years' Field Hockey team consisted of four returning players and ten new players. Five of these were freshmen, three were sophmores, five were juniors, and one was a senior . Practice every day after school included warm-ups, drills, and basic skills. There were also a lot of conditioning skills taught, because endurance is necessary to perform well in this game. Three year veteran Kebra Denke said, “Without a doubt this has been our best season ever. Winning isn't everything to me, but we learned to work as a team and that is what really counts. I know that I can speak for everyone on the team, we really have fun when we are out there playing on the field. Many of the team members felt that the team would be no where without the hard work and dedication of their coach, Betty Bennett. Miss Bennett encouraged us to have a posi- tive attitude and strive for per- fection, said Jessica Powell. We couldn't have made it without her. S Ir. and Mrs. Schrank Athletics 61

Reaching For The Top The girls' Varsity Volleyball team reflected the winning spirit behind all Madison ath- letes. With an impressive sea- son of eight wins and only two defeats, the girl's Varsity Vol- leyball team stormed through the Eastern League, taking first place. Through many hours of practicing and drilling, the girls who made up the squad defi- nitely formed the winning combination that was hard to beat. The team worked good and hard together, and showed a lot of potential, agreed An- drea Evans. Under the watchful eye of Coach Seaman, the girls prac- ticed several hours a day and scrimmaged various schools as well as each other. The team felt this was one of the best sea- sons and is sorry to see the re- turning senior players leave at the end of the season. With a combination of skill, tal- ent, and a desire to win, not to mention Coach Seaman's lead- ership, the girl's Varsity Volley- ball team truly showed Madis- on's winning spirit.
