Young Talent Adds Success to Viking Squad Ellen Warner ' s Junior Var- sity Volleyball team ended a very successful season with a modest record of 6-4, but don t let the win-loss column fool anyone. The experience and teamwork gained was the biggest victory for the young Vikings. Coach Warner always en- couraged the J.V. team to play to their fullest potential and even when a game was lost, she said that the team should always feel good about it if they played to the best of their ability. Consistent starters were Deb Keil, Mindy Roby, Tracy Schade, Stacie Spiehs, Angle Enevoldsen, and Denise Sad- dler, but the bench strength was important and every in- dividual had the opportunity to improve her skills in a game situation. Lolo Widmark, North- west ' s foreign exchange student from Sweden, also had her first opportunity to play volleyball.
