 Most students will agree that they enjoy watching the football team annihilate an opponent, but would these same students be will- ing to sacrifice the majority of their time and energy to make a winning team? Stu- dents often envy the pres- tige of owning a letter jack- et or the pride of being a state champion, but these honors result only from end- less hours of training. Athletes are a special breed of people who set high goals for themselves and do everything physical- ly possible to achieve these goals. They practice foot- ball and tennis in 104-de- gree heat. They run five to ten miles in the mornings be- fore most people are out of bed. They endure the cuts, the bruises, and the broken bones, all for a single mo- ment of victory. As Gordon Gregory, one Cavalier athlete, says. Tm sure that no matter where I go or what I do after gradu- ation, I will always have a desire to win because the Dorman athletic program has instilled it in me. Football has given me a lot in both physical and mental ways but with the blood, the sweat, and more that just a little bit of pain. I'd say that the debt has been paid.’ SPORTS Sports Dlvlslon 15

We experienced much success early and had to deal with the hard- ships of losing later. A good many times we played superbly, but we just lost when it came down to points. These are the thoughts of coach Paula Kirkland on the 10-9 record posted by the volleyball team. The team began excellently, post- ing a 5-1 record, but peaked too early and experienced burnout the latter half of the season. Although they played well at the net offensively and defensively, the team was inconsistent in serve reception. Star players were Kim Bobo, Phyllis Drummond, and Tammy Shelton. Kim received the MVP Award, and Robin Morrow received Best Attitude Award. Two records were set: Kim Bobo had 100 kills in the season, ten in a single game; Julie Price had 101 assists, fif- teen in a single game. Coach Kirkland sees next season as a challenge since the power hitters are graduating, and there will be only one senior on the squad. VOLLEYBALL: Front: Rebecca Pondoff. Carol Canty.
