58: U O I Servmg U I didn't expect volleyball to be so much fun because it was my first yearffsaid Angie Kryziak about this year on the team. But it was great! Playing Varsity Volleyball is not just fun and games: there's alot of work involved and an enormous amount of pressurellfhe winning tra- ditioniof ,North County High School weighs heavily on athletes in all pro- grams, especially on volleyball play- ers. NC are traditional heavyweights in league play and have added cham- pionship banners tothe impressive display in the gym. The pressure to succeed in such an atmosphere is heavy and even a competent finish is not enough for many fans. Thisgyeafs team was laden with tal- ent but never quite jelled as a unit. The ball bounces in a lot of directions and some years it doesn't bounce in 1ctor1es your direction at all. A number of close matches were decided in crucial moments when a spike or block by all league players just landed out of bounds. Even with the talent on the team, the Condor spikers still finished the league with a .500 record K6-61 a disappointment to some. An early season loss to Harbor at the Alisal Tournament was credited to exhasution on our part, but it prooved to be an ornen of things to come. We opened the league with a loss to Sequel, but then rebounded with victories over SLV, Marello, and Watsonville. Double losses to Harbor, Santa Cruz, and Soquel put us out of the money in a fourth place league finish. This year we had the talent, next year we'll have the team work to go with it.
