We had a good team. U ' e shouldn ' t have lost any games. I feel we had better players than any other teams in the district. The games we lost, except for two, were very close games. We were starting to hit the floor — doing rolls and dives. We placed our spikes and we had a lot of hustle and pride in the volleyball program, com- mented Coach Muddy Moxley. The junior varsity volleyball team ' s wins were evenly distributed throughout the year, and they finished with a district record of 10-6. This year I worked with the team on more advanced setting work. The bumps and sets were excellent, so we got to work on hitting. Our strength in passing and set- ting were great and we had strong, power- ful hitters, so we were doing a super job, stated Coach Moxley. Lisa Edwards, Vanessa Washington, and Sylvia Williams were team captains and Carol Havard was the manager. It was a rewarding season, com- mented Reagan ' s new freshman volleyball coach. Ginger Hert. It was a learning ex- perience for the team. All of them learned overhand serves, which became very strong. The improvement from first half to second half (of the season) was tremen- dous. Even other district coaches com- mented to me on the team ' s progress, add- ed Coach Hert. The team, managed by Terri Freeman, had a district record of 7-9 and were repeatedly reminded by Coach Hert that volleyball is a team effort and you must work together. Their team motto was ' we can do it — I can ' t, but we can. ' o CO S cr While teammate Traci Lloyd watches, junior varsity player Shanna Kothmann con- it.
