Coach Dougan pointed out that this was the first time a freshman had made the varsity team since his first year of coaching. He wanted a number of freshmen on varsity but found they lacked the needed skills. Being a freshman on varsity re- quired a lot of concentration and, as loy showed, a lot of skill.

Volleyball Team Plays The varsity team walked away tied for third place in CCS. The junior varsity team was just as competitive and also placed third. There were mixed feelings of excitement and disappoint- ment, and the team wished it wouldn't end. Training was hard work and time consuming, yet the teams came through shining. I would have been shocked! claimed wide-eyed coach Dougan about the possibility of not making CCS. He admitted that the seeding was not favor- able and prevented the team from doing better. Nicole Zales- ny, a varsity team member, re- called a gathering of the varsity team at a member's house. Best Yet There they sat in a room after dinner, closed their eyes, and imagined winning the game in their heads. Nicole was pleased that her team won third. Though winning wasn't emphasized in the junior varsity team's training, they placed third, their best yet. The varsity team helped the junior varsity team with many skills. Kelli Mor- ris smiled slightly when she said, The practices were difficult and tiring in the beginning. lt was also difficult to suddenly face such competition, but Kelli felt the volleyball camp that most ju- nior varsity members attended helped a lot. The team learned basic fundamentals and used them in a winning way. x .... . Q--lXiT X... Wa-A X........ ts..-Q X...-A Varsity volleyball.

Swnmmg i l Enthusiasm Makes Waves ln Webster's New World Dic- tionary enthusiam was delined as Uintense or eager interest, zeal, fervor. The girls swim team this year exemplified this definition. Consisting of over seventy members, the team was one of the largest ever, Enthu- siasm guided the team through crowded practices and swim meets against such strong opponents as Branham High School. lt was this enthusiasm, coulpled with the individual skill of team members, that helped achieve an outstanding 5-I record. The loss, a heartbreaking defeat for those seniors hoping for a perfect season, came late in the year to Prospect. We lost to Prospect last year, so we really wanted to do well, commented senior Diana Sowin. The teams size was both an advantage and disadvantage. During meets it served as a fac- tor of intimidation for smaller Swimmers dive to get the advantage at the start of the race. teams, but during practices it meant a very crowded pool. We had to set-up an additional workout in the morning to space things out, said Coach Bingman. Aside from the meets and practices the swim team mem- bers also got together for other eventsg these events included a pot-luck dinner at the home of Diana and Connie Sowin, a spaghetti dinner at the Noodle Palace, and a swim-a-thon which raised approximately S4000 for the purchase of new team sweats. The dinners and swim-a-thon were great for me because they gave me an op- portunity to meet people I didn't have a chance to meet during practice, responded freshman Connie Sowin, The swim team was like a family both in and out of the wa- ter. Everyone was very suppor- tive of each other all year, which made the season possible, concluded Coach Bingman. l ..-- ,.....-- ...-.-- I uri ,l J 04 l K yg:,1:?f ' -.
