Character marks team spirit Although the teams didn ' t rank high in the leagues, the enthusiasm, potential energy, and skills performed by each individual made this in its own a winning season, said var- sity volleyball Coach Fay Motsumoto. The overall standings for varsity volleyball was 4-15, while the junior varsity had a little more rewarding season of 6-10. On both volleyball teams the spirit of each person was so abundant, that it made this sport fun and not just com- petition. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors shared the court with- out any conflicts. Each girl took her turn at being captain, as a new one was picked for each game. junior varsity Coach Jim Spagle commented, The teams showed a lot of character by not giving up despite losing several tough games. While varsity volleyball Coach Fay Motsumoto exclaimed, If each girl has actualized her goals and fears then this season has been one of growth! Both volleyball coaches agreed that at some point in the season all players performed 100%, and this is what sports are all about; win or lose.

Voigt ' s return marks season This season marked the return of Tom Voigt as coach of the Varsity Basketball team after a two-year absence. Ralph Reddington was his assistant and the junior Varsity coach. The team had a disappointing pre-season but played aggressive defense. This was due in part to seniors Tom Davidson, Bill Freeman and John Gallo coming out late because of football. Our first game against Ocean View marked the first game our ' planned on ' starters were on the court together, said Coach Voigt. Most of the games had our forwards and center playing against players up to five inches taller than they were, but they still managed to grab a lot of rebounds. Steve Beale, Freeman, and Ben Hankins led the team in rebounds this year. According to Coach Voight, If the team had had a kid six foot-five inches, we could possibly have taken sec- ond place by knocking off either Katella or Ocean View. Breaking through the opposition ' s press did not cause many problems for the quick guards led by Gallo and Davidson. Coach Voigt said in summing up the season, If we had had our starting five on the floor at the beginning of the season, things would ' ve been different. 1 Preparing lo execute a pass is returning Varsity ietlerman Steve Beale.
