AFTER DEFEATING WESTCHESTER, Freshman Vol- leyball Team members display enthusiasm. The Freshman Volleyball Team shows a lot of potential for next year, said Senior Kate Brown. She added that the freshmen played really well this year since they wort district. The net set 'tv ltho- ugh the Freshman Volleyball Team was not able to say. Q We are the Champi- ons. they came close by placing third in the Dis- trict. Their toughest compe- titors were Westchester and Northbrook. Amy Bean. Lorraine Droulas. Jennifer Glasford. Maryanne Har- vey, Joan Isensee. Allison Leach. Con- nie McCarthy. Mimi Morales. Susan Sprawls. Lindsay Whitaker. and Mandy Williams comprised the Team. I think we had a pretty good team and we worked together. said Joan Isen- see. Working together was the team's most outstanding feature. Coach Carol Hemphill said. As a group they were great. There are some good athletes out there. She added. They trusted each other and everyone was good enough to be able to respect them. Individually. each team member was strong and able to pull her own weight. Their main weakness was their serves. Just about our only weakness was getting our serves over. Amy Bean said. Mandy Williams said. Our serves were not as good as they should or could have been but the good thing about our team was that we had lots of spirit. The freshmen's spirit even reached the Varsity Team. The Freshmen had so much spirit that they cheered us up when we were losing. You just can't imagine how much spirit they had. Maron Neff said. The team was much stronger than last year's team and had definite poten- tial. You can't tell with most Fresh- men. but they will probably be very good when they've had a little experi- ence, said Coach Hemphill. Experience or not. they finished the 1977-1978 volleyball season with a good District standing and promise a strong 1978-1979 Junior Varsity. Coach Hemphill thinks that they could have played hetter but is happy with what they got. -30 - f C-lltlfllllll' Pl't'l1lll6'I'gtl.t'l Freshman Volleyball 245
