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.

en @[n] ff®©@m A 23-10 season record enabled the Reagan varsity basketball team to capture second place in the city, behind district winner Johnston. The Raiders started out with a pre- season loss to San Antonio Highlands 70- 84 despite a 27 point performance from senior Charles Proby. The team suffered their second defeat of the season November 21 against the Killeen Kangaroos. The final score was Killeen by two, 48-50. Junior James Johnson led all scorers with a 28 point performance. Johnson was the leading scorer once again in a non-district game against Westwood. Reagan got on the winning track by defeating the Warriors by a margin of three points, 39-36. Reagan then traveled to the Snake Pit to meet the San Marcos Rattlers. Arriving in San Marcos with an even record of two wins and two losses, the Raiders left with yet another defeat. Proby ' s 21 points could not help the Raiders as they lost 55- ' ' 6. December 3, 4, and 5, the Raiders par- ticipated in the Clear Creek tournament where they defeated Baytown Sterling 49- 43; and lost to Cypress Creek, 52-60 and to Longview 55-64. Now it was time for the district race to begin. Reagan was chosen by the area coaches to win district, but Reagan had to knock off several teams to do it. The team managed to win their first two district games against LBJ and defending champs Austin, but then lost to the eventual champs, the Johnston Rams.
