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.

The team led behind captain and No. 1 runner Steve Traynham. Chris Smutzer. Hal Anderson. Darrell Barnes, and Brad Harley rounded out the top five runners. The cross country team started out the season slowly as they never fin- ished as high as they expected to. However, the Northwestern High School Shootout proved to be a turning point. Dorman's team was not expected to do well in this meet since many of the teams competing had al- ready beaten them. The team ran ex- tremely well and placed second in the meet. A slow start but a strong finish was the story for the cross country team. They posted a second-place finish in the region and fourth in the state. The outlook on next year's season is grim. There will only be three returning starters on next year's team. However, with improvement between now and next year, the cross country team will surely be off and running. Brent Bishop and Brad Harley lead a pack of runners through the stretch With concentration on his face. Stephen Truluck runs by himself. Dorman's top runner. Steve Traynham shows drive and determination as he runs for it all DarreH Barnes and Greg Catalano are shown running in front of a tight pack of runners Cross Country 19
