Coaching is a learning situation as well as a teaching situation-you learn from your players, and they learn from you. I learned a great deal from my great deal from my players this year and there are some things which I will change for next year. We're losing five of our eight varsity players. These Seniors are: Holly Eggebrecht, Denise Bergem, Becky Baker, Colleen Casey and Donna Kabot. These girls will be missed. They all have at least two years experi- ence. Two juniors, Kathy Kappan and Sheryl Clarke, will be playing for us next year. Q 1 Sheryl Clarke, Seniors Holly Eggebrecht, 44, and Denise Bergem, 24, and Kathy Kap- pan, 41, move into defensive positions. 2 Senior, Holly Eggebrecht, 44, serves a point in the last game of the season against T.O. The Panthers lost the match. 3 Kathy Kappan, 41, completes a spike after re- ceiving the set from Peggy Murray, 12, during the T.O. match. 4 Senior, Becky Baker, 22, receives a T.O. serve while teammates, Kathy Kappan, 47, and Sheryl Clarke, 11, watch. 5 Varsity coach, Marti Dibble, gives the team a few pointers between games during the Royal match. The Panthers went on to win 3 games to none. 6 Varsity Volleyball Team: Front Row, Donna Kabot, Sheryl Clarke, Cheryl Matz, manager, Theresa Hagman.

Varsity Volleyball Team Works Hard bl The season in the words of varsity coach Marti Dib- e. It was not exactly what you might call a winning season but fortunately, there is much more to coach- ing land to athletics for that matterj than just winning and losing. Obviously, we had our good moments, and our not-so-good moments. I feel our greatest vic- tory was won when we played Royal. Setting a new Marmonte league record, the Varsity match, alone went a record time of two hours and fifteen minutes. Each game went to a score of 16-14. The Panther girls lost the first game, and then came back and won the second two games 16-14, 16-14. However, even though the Royal match was very exciting, the best match we 136 Varsity Volleyball played all season, was the second Camarillo match. It was also the most disappointing, from the stand- point that we lost, even though we played as well as We did I6-15, 16-'14, 3-752. So, what can I say? l'm not upset with my varsity season. I know my girls worked very hard. I think we had some individual problems that we would have been much better off without. Every team experiences this same kind of difficulty, at one time or another. We were aware of the problem, and were cognizant of it-however, we couldn't seem to shake it. Although it affected our season, it is not the cause or the only reason for the outcome of our volleyball season. I have always felt that, as a coach, if I ever stop learn-

j.V. Volleyball Takes Second Place l 1 The junior Varsity Volleyball team had high hopes this year. The girls were a young and somewhat in- experienced group, but as the season progressed the team greatly improved with each game. There were a number of girls who did not play before this year, who became proficient at their skills in game situa- tions. The girls on the team were jamie Baker, cap- tain, Nancy Caldwell, Heidi Domin, Rosie Duran, Ruby Guiterrez, ludy Heinicke, Sue Montenegro, Cindy Murray, Peggy Murray, Cathy Paterson and Sylvia Ybarra, The team coach was Nori Parvin. 138 I V Volleyball The volleyball team had three preseason matches- Calabassas and Santa Paula which they won, and Santa Barbara, which proved their first temporary setback. The team opened league play against Oxnard and won the following three matches. With a first round record of 3-2 and an identical second round record, the girls finished the season with a 6-4 league record and earned second place. Placing second proved to Coach Nori Parvin, that they were a balanced, versatile, unselfish team and not just a collection of individuals.
