A determined junior high boys basketball team and an undefeated girls volleyball team showed promise of becoming valuable assets to the varsity teams in upcoming years. The eighth graders who made up the boys basketball team showed great individual and team talent. They started the season off with a victory over Syracuse and ended with the taking of second place at the Raymond Central Invitational in December. Something new this year in sports was the start of junior high girls volleyball. To prove that the girls were interested with the idea, they responded with enthusiasm and ended the season undefeated. Steve Elzey goes up for an almost sure score after a pass from Tim Huenink. wwf WN Iunior high volleyball team members: FRONT lensen, I. Moormeier, L. Drake, V. Moore. BACK ROW- L. Maler, I.

8th Grade Rookies Gain Confidence Coach Breed and team student manager Todd Verhoeff discuss team strategy with Tim Vest and Steve Pianalto before a game. --,-41.-4 A As the 1976-77 football season closed the 8th graders ended up with a 1-3-1 record. A win over Centen- nial spiced the season. The team hadn't gained stardom and recogni- tion but did gain the confidence and experience needed to those who plan to continue their football car- eers. This year's team was made up of 40 rookie 8th grade boys who tried their hardest and in Coach Gale Breed's eyes, . . improved a great deal by the end of the season. Coach Breed looks on as his 8th grade rookies put in their practice time. The boys worked out diligently after school every day. 8th grade football members: FRONT ROW- I. TeKolste, R. Baumfalk, D.
