Cross Country and Volleyball teams gum experzence zn thezr second seasons U S B C ildirt 'Teams he cross country and volleyball teams dis- played determination and a win- ning spirit during the '87 season. The cross country team had a larger turn-out than in their first season and they won the first cross country meet ever for a North team by defeating South- west Gilford and West Davidson. Seniors John Workman and John Cooper showed leadership in pushing the young team to the limit each day in practice. This ex- tra push paid off in meets as Chris Smith paced the team throughout the season with high finishes. Coach Wayne Crowder commented, We had no single standouts, but we had several good runners. Having experi- enced the thrill of victory the young Cavaliers are sure to be a threat in the conference next sea- son. Opening their second season at North, the Volleyball team started with enthusiasm and ex- cellent leadership. Seniors Karen Adams and Melinda Watkins helped younger players develop skills and that determination needed to succeed. l'Twin Towers, Lola Jones and Julie Thomas learned quick and pro- vided height for those essential blocks and spikes. Sophomore setter Tracey Myers added speed and depth to the team. Af- ter watching a college volleyball game the team is real enthusias- tic for next season. Mrs. Moore remarked, l'm real hopeful for a much improved season and I feel we have the talent to be a good team. Losing only two seniors due to graduation, the 1988 team has experience and the taste for vic- tory.
