Could you imagine standing with your face to the net having somebody spike the volleyball right in front of you? Vf ell. that is what Mishawaka ' s Varsity Volleyball team did. They had an excel- lent season with twenty wins and five losses. Coached by Dave Anderson, the girls volleyball team opened the season with Volleyball Girls Show Skills And two consecutive wins over Penn, Mishawaka ' s number one rival. Defeat- ing Elkhart Memorial, Elkhart Central, and Michigan City Elston without losing one match to them were some high- lights during the 1984 season. Then to top off a very good season, Mishawaka beat Penn again at their last match. The seniors provided great leadership and their leaving will be a loss to the team and the highschool. However, the upcoming juniors and seniors have great skill and potential. These girls gave their best for the sport and all of them should be congratulated, said Coach Anderson. Marianne Tobolski is up and ready to spike the ball. Sue Alexander returns the ball over her opponents heads. Kelly Niedbalski set one of her teammates up for an excellent return. 24 Volleyball

The Tracks For Playing Well This team was made up of some very fine young men. They had tremendous ability, athletically. It was an extreme pleasure being able to coach these young men, Coach Beehler stated. The 1984 freshman football team ended their season with a record of eight wins and one loss. Coach May and Coach Beehler had set two goals for their foot- ball team. They were one, to learn basic fundamentals of football and two, to en- joy the game., Highlights of the fresh- man football season were winning their division and playing in league cham- pionship. A couple of freshmen players who remembered about the games told what they thought. Mike Coyle said, The most memorable game I played in was when we played St. Joe in the cham- pionship for first place. Both of us were undefeated. It was a close game to the end. We lost six to zero. Phil Mumaw also stated, I learned a lot about life and the game of football. We had a lot of good memories and one bad memory — we lost to St. Joe in the champion- ship game. I think the thing I learned most of all was when you lose not to get mad. Thank you Mr. May and Mr. Beehler. Although the freshmen play- ers did not get much recognition, they will be a great asset to next year ' s team Junior Varsity and Varsity.
