li' 'www o a spectator, vol- leyball is an excit- ing sport, but to a player it involves both hard work and determi- nation. The team prac- ticed 2-2h hours a day. Most of the time was spent on various skills and coverage on the court, stated Coach Ja- net Bosley. After all the practice, the team end- ed up with a record of 10-6. We had a bit of a rough start this season calm pulling so many person- alities together, said Coach Bosley. The team continued to improve as the season went on. According to Coach Bosley, their main strength came from indi- vidual talent and the abil- ity ofthe girls to put key factors together. The team worked hard and was willing to make the sacrifice to im- prove their weak- nesses, said Bosley. By the end of the season Qt efS0n 3 team H One? ebut . am Wifi 3 gi ri can' .

WWW inning traditions are tough to follow. The volleyball team went into their open- ing season with a state title challenging them. With Coach Charlotte Kim leading, the chal- lenge was taken on and used as an inspiration, not a hindrance. This year's team had a lot to live up to because last year's team was outstanding, agreed Coach Kim. But the team worked well together and we had lots of desire. Each after-school practice involved two and a half hours of concentrating on such skills as bumping, serving, passing, and spiking the ball over the net. The team's record, which did not include divisional play, was 13-3. During divisionals the team beat Westwood and lost to Dobson. According to Coach Kim the most outstanding game was the second time we played Dobson. She also added lt'll be tough next year since more than half the team will be leaving. The '86-'87 team will have only four returning players, a junior and three seniors since the other eight players were seniors this year.
