Spikers Bump Through Season Although this year has been coined by many as The Year of the Chieftain, it was not however the best year for the girls' volleyball team. The lady spikers were expected to have a successful sea- son in 1977 with an experienced team and some exceptional ath- letes, but as the season progressed, it was evident that it was not going to be a good year. We lacked teamwork. You need to work together as a team to win,” and we just didn’t have a winning atti- tude” were some of the reasons the girls gave for their disappointing record. The game of volleyball is usually played on a court with six partici- pants on each of two twelve-man teams. To win a game, a team must score 15 points and be ahead by at least two points. Although this year was somewhat disheartening, the girls are already looking forward to a fantastic sea- son next year. We are only losing one girl, so we will have an experi- enced squad. This year, we primar- ily worked on skills such as serves, set-ups and spikes. With this expe- rience, we should have a winning season.” With that win-or-die pride that has made LHS famous, Patty Gallagher summed it all up when she said, We’re gonna get it together. We're gonna be number one next year.” TOP: Sophomore Carol Huffman puts her all into keeping this serve alive. ABOVE LEFT: Vickie Chesser sets up as Patty Gallagher gets ready to use a forearm pass.
