Volleyball team finishes 5th in City Completing the season with 8 wins and 8 losses in City League action, the Volleyball team finished in 5th place. Head Coach joan Krack comments, Although we did not finish as well as we possibly could have, the overall record certainly does not reflect the overall ability of the girls. We had days when we were up and days when we were down and unfortunately when we were down we were unable to pull ourselves together and play the way we needed to in- order to win the game. The highlight of the 1982-83 season was beating North towards the end, said Krack. Northwest clenched the victory by spiking the Redskins 5-15, 15-9, 15-9. The girls were determined to do their best and they were basically having a good day. They always played well when they were up. Two players received honors. junior Dawn Thomas was selected on the All-City Second Team and Danielle Cullinane received Honorable Mention for her efforts. Lettermen this year were Cullinane, Thomas, Brenda Flory, Stephanie Blair, Suzy Patton, Shawnda Hubbard, jenny johnson, Cris Bulman and Barbara Bosken. Team Co-Captain Dawn Thomas said, We all had a positive attitude toward the game, even when we were losing. And I think having that kind of an' outlook brought us together as a team and gave us the determination to keep on trying, even though it seemed like we had given up. Senior Brenda Flory stated, This year was slow for us, but we were always looking for new ways to improve and become better. All of us helped each other when the other needed it and that kept the friendships bet- ween us close. In all, I think the sport is a lots of fun and has many great rewards, even if we were not the best. if After the junior Varsity team finishes playing, they shake hands with their opponent before leaving the court. 60 ' Volleyball

Sophs finish Srdg JV season cut short Settling for a third place tie in the City with Heights and Southeast was the end result of a season consisting of 4 wins and 3 losses for the sophomore football team. The Grizzlies could have clinched the City title with a victory over South, but lost 12-22. Doug Vannaman, head coach, said it was a super year and had no complaints in regard to the team. Every game we lost, we lost because we played a poor first half. And if these young men learn to play well for a full game they will be a championship team. The offensive and defensive units worked hard to build a strong team and, as a result, outscored their opponents 127 to 77 during the course of the season. Deriek Thomas carried the ball 61 times for a total of 652 yards and 42 points. On the defense, Doug Rippel had 10 tackles, 54 assists, and one in- terception. Jv FOOTBALL Compiling an overall record of one win and one loss, the Northwest junior Varsity football team defeated Bishop Carroll 12-0, but lost to Southeast 7-10 in double overtime. Because of a lack of players other league schools were not able to compete with Northwest. Despite the team's unimpressive record, they were still one of the best ,IV teams Northwest has pro- duced, said Coach Doug Vannaman. 13' sophqv roofbau - 59
