UG SDIKES AGA N The 87-88 0'Gorman Knights varsity girls volleyball team continued their reign as the top team in Sout Dakota. The team consisted of six seniors,four juniors,and one sophomore. The beginning of the seaso started off well by winning the Holiday Tournament at Sioux Falls CoIIege's Stewart Center. But the hig dipped down low when the girls lost to Brookings in a 3-game match. This was the first loss for the senior after having a 31 match winning streak in the 86-87 season. Coach Hunt said, l was worried about the senior being able to come back after the loss to Brookings. Miss Hunt also said, It made them realize they were no the same team as last year. They realized they needed to give the under classmen a chance to gain th- necessary varsity experience. I think the younger players did a super job of accepting the challenge ani reacting to such intense pressure.'f The team got over that loss and a later one to Washington H.S. to go 34-1 for the season,win the SIC,P-51 Conference,and,once again,the S.D. varsity girls State VB championship Individual honors went to Julie Sudbeck and Amy Folsom who made the All-State VB team ,and Susal Ronan,who also with her showing at State, received honorable mention All-State. Coach Hunt was quote- , 0ur first goal was not necessarily to repeat as State champions, but more so to get together as a team.

A7ter his first year of coaching, Mike Begeman summarizes the varsity boy's basketball season. Although the record may not indicate a banner year, the 0'Gorman Knlghts Boys Basketball program made some positive strides this past year. Playing hard and very competitive were phrases that were frequently heard when people talked about the 0'Gorman team. On many occasions, the Knights gave the fans an exciting night of basketball. I am very proud of the group. l felt we made great progress both as a basketball team and also as people. We never gave up, and that ln itself made our season successful. The Knights say farewell to five outstanding seniors, but return a good nucleus of players who gained valuable experience during the course of the season. To be a winner, you must develop wlnnlng habits, and with the progress that was made this year, 0'Gorman will make a wlnnlng hablt ln basketball in the future.
