68 V. VOLLEYBALL REACH THEIR GOAL ' e have proven what hard work and determination can do. This is how the 1988-89 Varsity Volleyball Team described their victorious year. With a seriousness of purpose they continually strove for perfection. This pursuit of excel- lence on the court lasted the entire season. Many congratulations went to the team when their hard work took them to the CIF Championships. With an unfortunate loss in their second game, they were eliminated from the tournament. However, making the CIF play-offs in addition to their much improved record brought much pride to Loara. The team, composed of strong, confident players with many di- verse talents and skills, performed solidly throughout the season. Coach Mike Hinton described the team in the following words: With the young players and the experience of the older ones, I think we play well as a unit. The power of the outside attack and the versatility of the players made for a really good season. four
