Third row: Jan O'l-Year, Linda Brown, Brenda l-leimann, Leslie lvlarshall, Paula Theide A Varsity co-captain Cathey Costas gets a good bump tothe setter Cathey was one of the teams most enthusiastic players xcitement crackled through the air. The slap of a fist serving the ball resounded through the gym, and the game began. Servers, like freshman Dawn Polley, JV players Stacey Thompson and Lynn Carson, and varsity members Leslie Marshall and Gloria Pierce, started our games with skill and consistent serving. Spikers Tammy Mclnis and Nancy Busboom for freshman, Stacy Pfluger and Becky Bellows for JV, and Jan O'Rear and Brenda l-leimann for varsity, enjoyed sending balls down their opponents' throats. Strong bumpers or all-around good players like Cindy Cain, JV captain, and Cheryl Polley and Cathy Costas, varsity co-captains, provided a solid base for an exciting team. Strong starts marked all the games. We had the skills needed to walk over any team, but sometimes the spirit necessary to carry through faded. As the season progressed, we hit a high at the Austin game on the night of the Homecoming dance and felt despair and loneliness at the disaster of the Canyon, New Braunfels, tournament. But we bounced back from this extreme low, after discussing our problems and renewing our dedication. We learned the value of communication and realized that without teamwork, dedication, and togetherness, winning was out ofthe question. We discovered these necessities too late for the season, but early enough in our lives for them to make a lasting impression. We grew to value the friendship of our teammates and became a family - closer than just co-workers. Mr. Crist was our guide and our friend. We felt more than respect for himg close ties of shared fun, laughter, even tears formed a relationship closer than that with some parents. We joked and laughed, practiced and worked, cried and recovered, together as a team and lamily. We learned about each other and ourselves, and found out that something really didn't come from nothing. We discovered the value of working together and respecting each other. 5 JV co-captain Cindy Cain passes the ball to a setter, Her consistent passing led the JV to a successful season. 6 Varsity co-captain Cheryl Polley bumps the ball to spiker Linda Brown as Brenda Heimann and Donna Johnson position themselves for the return 7 Sophomore Brenda l-leimann positions herself for a floor spike.
