Freshman and J. V Volleyball Players Receive Valuable Experience Returning to an area she is acquainted with. Ms. Sturza commented. I like it very much. It is nice to see familiar faces across the court. I also am familiar with how some of the other coaches coach and that helps.” Ms. Sturza. first year coach, recognized the freshmen and J.V. volleyball season as being a very successful year I felt, as the frosh finished the season 90, losing only to Bums and Wahtonka, and on the J.V. team all the players received playing experience which hopefully will really show next year. Sheri Bowers proved to be a great asset to the freshmen team as she served 96% for the season. Sturza stated, I feel that Sheri Bowers and Heidi Fivecoat will add a lot to the J.V. team next year, and possibly some others. We started out with the basic game plan trying to utilize the bump, set, spike theory, but with inexperience we were forced to go with just a bump style game. As the season progressed we were able to use an over hand hit and then finally able to set and spike in the final games,” Sturza stated. Ms. Sturza looking towards next years season commented she would like to see more involvement and more dedication on the part of the players. I would also like to see an additional coach added to the staff. Six J.V. players saw varsity action during the season. This will be a valuable experience for next years season. Coach Dave Wiles stated. The idea of a junior varsity team is to gain experience. Ending the season with a 6-9 record they will be knowledgeable of the basic skills that they will need for varsity level action. v J 28
