The net se C x eflections of high, wire- encaged lights shimmered on the glowing, waxed gym- nasium floor. Hushed breathing, overwhelmed by heartbeats imagined to be louder than an off-beat chorus of slamming doors, escaped from the hung-over mouths and melted into the heated atmosphere of Varsity competition. Spectators stirred on the scuffed bleachers extracting an irritated squeal from the 14-year-old stands as the girl lightly tossed the volleyball into the air and torpedoed it over the net. The home team held their breaths, bumped the speeding ball straight up, almost touching the ceiling, and guided it toward the setter to be pounded over the net by lethal spiker Maron Neff. Excitement ran high in the Varsity Volleyball Team's interscholastic bat- tles. People would get tense out on the court, Anne Furbush said. Sometimes the tension was so great that the players suffered. Linda Ewing said, t'Mentally, you could see that some people were cracking under pres- sure. The players also felt some pressure when they had to call lines against their team, an act which could be hard to do, but fair is fair,', according to Kate 'x 238 Varsity Volleyball - Depth Design by Sharon Davies Brown. Linda said, 'sYou usually feel guilty about it when they all turn around and give you a dirty look. Technicalities and feelings unnoticed while playing on the court were often spotted from the sidelines. Linda said, When you're on the side, you can see the emotions people are experiencing. Our height was probably our big- gest weakpointf' Katey said. Because of their great height, compared to our lack of it, Northbrook was probably the toughest team the Varsity played this year. Their starters were made up of seniors and most of them were very tall, Linda said. Westchester was the most rivalrous game because we wanted to beat them so badly, Dinah Voelkel said. West- chester was always the big rival, and they were one of the toughest competi- tion-wise, agreed Coach Ann Wilson. Varsity should have won District because Westchester won District and we beat them, she continued. The team had the potential to win District and looked very promising by the time the season opened. There really wasn't anything to mess them up, Mandy Williams said. I thought they were really good, though, and they should have won the games because they tried really hardf, she continued. Lindsay Whitaker felt that they were a strong team, especially in their spiking. Their spiking was greatg they could set the ball up to where they could spike it, she said. Individually, each team member was very strong and was Varsity material. I Continued an page 240
