The young Vikes ended with a winning 5-4 season. Much time was spent on special techniques needed in order to secure a good year. The experience gained is a very valuable part of fresh- man volleyball, for they are building for junior varsity and varsity teams. The girls learned to depend on each other to return the ball, commented Coach Randy Hubbard. Teamwork was a very big word this season. Quotes for the captions are from Coach Hubbard. We really worked on our technique. We stressed keeping our eyes on the ball. 23

I ' m very pleased and happy for a bunch of kids that demonstrated courage and how they could come back the second half of the game. We did not go undefeated, nor to the State playoffs, but progress and improvement were our main goals. I feel we did achieve that. ' 25
