J.V., Frosh-Soph Volleyball Teams The 85-86 J.V. volleyball team placed second in the Valle Vista League. Coach Kildal said that the biggest thing that added to the team ' s success was the girls ' desire to win. She also said that they put 100% effort into their practices and that it showed in the games. Junior Tina Tan was named the team ' s Most Valuable Player this year. Coach Kildal also stated that the team improved a great deal over the course of the season. The girls played as a team, not as individuals, which en- hanced their playing. The frosh soph volleyball team tied for third place this year with Edgewood. According to Coach Jaynes, every player improved a great deal through the season. Jodi LaPlante was given the honor of l lost Valuable Player and Kellie Yager was given the team ' s Most Improved Player award. Coach Jaynes also commented on the fact that Northview was the only team that ran an offense this season. A lot of hard work went into the season even before it started. During the summer, both froshsoph and J.V. held a camp here at Northview to prepare for their upcoming games. They conditioned and practiced basic skills such as bumping, setting, serving, and spiking. As the season neared, the girls worked harder and kept a positive attitude about their league competition. After school began, the J.V. team lost some members, and the girls really worked to hold onto their positive attitudes. J.V. teammate, Tina Tan said, Coach Kildal was always patient with us. She knew we could do it. For both teams ma|or competition was found with cross-town rival, the Covina Colts. The J.V. team lost first place to the Colts during the final game of the season. Steady improvement was the key to the Lady Vikes finishing high in the Valle Vista League. After going into a perfect mount, Maria Carpenter returns a spike to the setter. 166 J.V.
