Potential Through Skills, Team Gnity Showing great improvement in skills as well as in the mental part of the game, proved to be rewarding to the varsity volleyball team Consisting of nine girls, the varsity volleyball team could be found practicing in the gym for two or three hours daily. Starting practice in July seemed to pay off, for they were one victory away from C.I.F. playoffs. Though the team was small in height and size and had difficulty in passing, these weak- nesses were backed up by strong hitting, spik- ing and strong defensive abilities. Games were played every Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 3:15 p.m. The team ' s league standing was 4-6. Of the five teams the girls played, they felt Covina and South Hills were their toughest opponents. Helping a great deal against these teams was Sherie Witter, this year ' s Most Valuable Player. At the annual awards banquet, Karen Earner received Most Improved Player and Sharon Hall was voted Most Inspirational Player, Sherie Witter was named Viking of the Year. In addition, both Hall and Witter were chosen for Second Team All-League. When asked how he felt about the team, Coach Espinoza replied, They ' re great, now they know they can win. $if ri FROrST ROW Pam Leftnct. Sherri Hall SECOND ROW Sherie Witter. Karen Barner.

Bump Opposition Out Of Competition ir — f JUNIOR VARSITY FRONT ROW Sherri Steiner. Coach Pashone. dra Luis. Jeanette Ehrich, Angel Whaley. Kris Pebbie Miller BACK ROW: Sarah Galzote, San- Heathcoat, Lore Rodeheaver, Lori Brown The junior varsity and frosh soph volleyball teams had prosperous seasons this year. The J V. team, coached by Mrs. Kathy Pashone, had an overall record of thirteen wins and a mere four loses. Their league record consisted of seven wins and three loses. Their frosh- soph counterpart also had a successful sea- son. They were coached by Ms. Becky Tay- lor, and had a league record of four wins and three loses. Both teams had productive seasons, de- spite some disadvantages. The frosh-soph team, for instance, was greatly composed of freshman players, but that factor didn ' t set them back. According to Coach Taylor, The girls all improved one hundred percent. The junior varsity team also had minor problems. In a few instances, the team didn ' t remain in their toughest form throughout an entire game. This minor detail was ironed out, though, through tough practice and determi- nation on everyone ' s part. At the volleyball banquet, spirits were high, especially when the awards for outstanding players were announced. The recipient of J.V. Most Valuable Player was Sheri Steiner and Angel Whaley received the Most Improved award. On the frosh-soph team, llleen Szuder received the award for Most Inspirational Player, while Becky Flores captured the Most Valuable Player award.
