The volleyball teams were the first Jones teams to play in the new gymnasium. Jones only lost one game in the new gym, which, unlike the Coliseum, is a part of the school. Jones home record was much better than their tournament records. In the 7th and 8th grade tournament Jones jumped to a commanding lead, needing only two points to win the first game. Suddenly, a complete turn around occurred, and Justice had the momen- tum. Frustration crossed the girls faces as Justice tied the game. After an exchange of serves, Justice had the ball again and won. Jones lost the second game also. I feel in the 7th and 8th tournament the girls just didn ' t have the experience, said Mrs. Mauzy. The team finished the season 3-3 and didn ' t lose a game at home. Jones freshmen defeated Madison Grant in the opening match of the 9th grade tourney. Forty-five minutes later Jones faced Justice to decide the championship. The long rest allowed the girls to tighten up, and they just couldn ' t get back in form. Jones lost in two games. Mr. Harvey thought the girls just got down on themselves too much. Over all the freshmen girls had a winning season of 5-2. Their only losses during the first year at the new Jones were to Justice.
