While Greg was the leader, he was in no way the only standout. As seniors, Chris Brooks and Gary Purdy in their last season to run for the team, performed admirably in district and regional meets.

The women's JV team, consisting of mostly juniors and sophomores, won the prestigious district title defeating Richardson and Plano. Junior Lisa Barker, who placed 7th, said, We just wan- ted to win it for Mary Jane Shirley, a senior in her last year. It made us run that much har- der.

Splkinglt JennyAnderson displays her leaping ablllty before the last game of the season agalnst the R.L. Turner Lions. 4 -9 - Ja- he season that started with hope ended in despair as the Varsity Volleyball team com- pleted the year with an overall record of 8-10. Most of the wins were in district play, where they had a 5-8 record. One reason given for the mediochre season was poor concentration on the court. Senior Sandy Currie stated, We did not click as a team. We had many good players and a lot of nament. The JV team, led by second year coach Linda Lamb, started the season off red hot by win- ning their first six games, but then they cooled off to end the season with a record of 7-11. The winning slowed down when the team did not want to prac- tice or play as hard as usual in the middle of the year, and as a result, they played lacklusted ball the rest of the season. Connie Brewer, junior, stated, Fire 'em U8 Second year each Llnda Lamb yell: loudly ln an attempt to flre up her tearr durlng a tlme out. She guided the JV to 1 7-11 season record. Dig It Dropping to her knees to return the bal before lt hlts the ground, senior Llsc DeLeon returns the ball to Plano In e lata dlstrlct game. Keep Cn Spiking Although the 1981-82 volleyball season was not everything the team thought it would be, they gained much needed experience 24 Volleyball ability, but couldn't get it together on the court. The team also had preparation problems during the season, and seemed to suffer from a lack of motivation. Sharon Harmon, a two year varsity player com- mented, We did not practice as hard as we should have, and this showed on our season record. The team also participated in many tournaments, and even though their district record was less than expected, they showed well at every tour- We became overconfident and thought we were better than we really were. The team has a lot of talented players who will return next year when a district title is expected. Sophomore Vakinta Keller said, The district better look out next year, because then we will be ready. Though the 1982 season was not everything that the players hoped it would be, neither the Varsity nor the JV team was devastated by their average seasons. .. rift ,, '
