72 Fresh-Soph Volleyball Fresh Soph Spikers Start Season Strong The FreshfSoph Volleyball Team was lead this year by first year coach Rich Brutcher who was new to the volleyball scene. Brutcher assumed the position after former coach Tom Domino was forced to sit out the season due to illness. Coach Bruther spoke enthusiastically about the team saying, I learned more about volley- ball as the players learned. As the season came to a close, the team fought to gain fourth place in the freshfsoph tournament. The girls also aspired to fourth place in conference play bat- tling it out with several reputable teams. Lisa Van Houtte summed up the season best by saying, Even though we had a new coach. we learned a lot and still had a lot of fun. Susan Zurn added, To me the most exciting games of the season were at the Westmer Tour- ney. They were thrilling and prepared me for my move to the varsity team. Fresh-Soph Volleyball team.

Sport Rev'ved While most cross country teams start practices in mid-summer, Orion's team didn't start until Sept. 4 because it wasn't until that date that the team was established. The eight men and one woman comprising the team were the first cross country runners at OHS in over ten years After a season of several informal meets the runners competed in the Regional Meet in Sterling on Oct. 27. They placed sixth in what proved to be one of the toughest regionals in the state Senior Joe . Bowman and junior Jerome Schroeder earned spots in the Sectional Meet held the following week in Amboy. Bowman ended up qualifying for the State Meet in Peoria where he placed seventeenth. Angie Moon, the team's only female, ran as an individual in nearly all of the scheduled meets. She was eliminated from further postseason action when she finished in the middle of the pack at the girls' District Meet in Geneseo. Complimenting the runners, Coach Bob De Doncker felt that through hard work and dedica tion, we had a great year. Many schools didn't have the success we accomplished in one year He added, I feel there is a need for a permanent cross country team to have any kind of successful track program. I hope the school will decide to continue to build a Ccross country! program Runners: Andy Schroeder, Jerome Schroeder, Mark Quaintence. Angie Moon, Paul LaFauce. Joe Bowman, Mark Ziemer, B..l.
