Varsity ask for The O'Gorman Varsity Volley- ball team, ended their up and down season with a 17-5 record. The team experienced a few problems along the way. The lack of crowd support became the biggest problem that the team encountered. lf the football team can have support, why can't the volleyball team? Varsity starter Jeanne Barnett said, I think it's really sad that more people don't come to our games, because we have one of the best athletic records at 0'Gorman. Monique Terlau led the team in spiking, with an awesome 108 ace spikes. Julie Johnson and Kelly Klauer followed closely with 54 spikes each. Serving, junior Kelly Klauer led the team with 158 total points, 33 ace serves, and a deadly 8495 serve. Over all, the team had 121 ace serves, and 802' of their serves fan support were successful. Jeanne Barnett received 92.525 of the serves successfully for the team. ln the Power-51 Conference Tourney, O'Gorman lost the 1st game to Washington, causing them to play Brookings for 3rd place. The Lady Knights won. At Regionals the Knights beat Canton and Freeman Academy to move them into the Hnals. ln the 1st game, the Knights lost to Lincoln 15-7. ln the 2nd game, with a score of 14-9, Lincoln had possession of the ball. They served the ball, we returned it, then they killed us with a spike to win the game. But wait! The referee called a violation on Lincoln, giving O'G possession, and another chance to win. Kelly Klauer served the ball to move the score from 14-9 to 14-12. That was as close as we could come, giving us 2nd place. 144
