Almost a IO Compiling a 38-6-2 com- bined record is a pretty good accomplishment, as proved by the year's volleyball team. Led by Coach Sue Schuble, the varsity squad had an im- pressive 22-1-1 record. Jay-vee, 13-3-1, was coach- ed by Anita McCoy, a graduate from Kickapoo. The C-team, coached by Becky Smith and Tana Haitt, compiled a 3-2 record. Tournaments proved how excellent Kickapoo's teams really were: jay-vee captured first place in the city, while varsity won the Kickapoo Classic. They won first in conference, and first in districts also. We took one game at a Sophomore Beth Drewry sets the ball to sophomore spiker Susan Brent. Jay- vee won this match by beating Sedalia 11-15, 15-11, 15-7. 98 f Volleyball time, and we never took any team lightly, this is why l think we had such a great season, stated senior Stacey Holland. Receiving honors were first team conference Stacey Holland and second team conference Ann Mabry, Julie Warren, and Tanya Stites. By the way things started out at camp and the beginning of the year, we weren't sure how we would look, but after we won the first couple of games, we knew we could play as a team, quoted junior Ann Mabry.

We had plenty of depth, said Coach Kevin Byrne. The Chiefs had a total of 68 players and many of them were young. In fact, there were more juniors than seniors on the team. Senior Craig Setzer added, Although we were a young team, I think we did better than anyone in the city expected. For some, training began right after the previous season. Players worked hard to try and become stronger before the next season. Senior Mark Kiser said, In my opinion, strength is the most important aspect of the game. The training also increased my speed and endurance. Injuries played a big part in the '81-82 season. Senior Aaron Stull was in- jured before the season began, and senior running back Bob Macer was hampered with injuries for most of the season. On junior running back John Penny's first varsity start, he gained 203 yards on 32 carries. This broke the school record set by Jeff Horned in 1979. Coach Pearson conclud- ed, I thought our young men, freshmen, jay-vee, and varsity, played excep- tionally well. We are proud of them.
