Accord- ing to team Captain Susie Prueter, practice wasn't the only asset. First of all, Susie said, good attitude and concentration have a lot to do with it. We have to work together, because if we don't stay together on the court, all concentration is lost and we can't play good volleyball. Susie said that the team faced a turnaround when they lost to Hall and Parkview. Assistant Coach Ellen Linton said that the girls began practicing harder to prepare for upcoming games, and Susie added that the team made a decision to work together and practice more. We saw that we hadnlt done as much as we were capable of, so we really started working harder, she said The season was long and hard, but it was well worth it. - By Michelle james ,gf eg ..

WZ-V, Elllr kinsky. lxxphlw lf the players are not li ready physically they cannot ' perform to their ability, he said, and if they aren't in shape mentally, they can't cope with game pressures. Getting in shape physically requires strenuous exercise, Coach Narkinsky said. That means two-a-day practices in August in lOO'degree weather. We do a lot of running, weight lifting, drills, and calisthentics. While we try to make them fun, exercises are a necessity. Head football coach Neal Estes added that adequate exercise results in speed and strength - both necessities for success. Coach Estes also stressed the importance of mental exercises that he called priorities A young athlete must adopt priorities such as discipline and enthusiasm, he said. The goal is a complete organization with no mental breakdown of any of the priorities. - By Rex DeI.oney l E NO-NAME DEFENSE - Charger defensive players bare down while awaiting the snap ofthe ball against Jacksonville.
