1 i A Building Tear The girls volleyball team finished regular season play with an im- pressive 16-8 record. After beating a tough Attucks team 15-6, 15-4 and shutting out a strong Speedway team 15-8, 15-5, Perry lost the final sectional game to an agressive Ben Da -is team 15-17, 5-15. Coach Jan BoradaiUe considered this a rebuilding year and said, We used this year to learn the game. We peaked too early in the season and went down from there. The girls lost their confidence and agressiveness. It took awhile to build these back up, but they did. With the addition of an assistant coach, Linda Buck, coach BoradaiUe was able to devote her at- tention to the building of the varsity team. We had a lot of height and talent. It was a very young team with their main problem, inexperience, always showing. They worked real hard in practice, but in a match their confidence and agressiveness seemed Girls Volleyball Season Record: 18-9 PM 1 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 Jennings County Brebeuf Center Grove Whiteland North Central Attucks Manual Bloomington South Terre Haute North Richmond Decatur Central Warren Central Chatard Cathedral Franklin Community Roncalli Greenwood Pike Center Grove Lawrence North Lawrence Central Southport MarshaU Ben Davis Sectional: Attucks Speedway Ben Davis OFF 2 1 1 1 1 2 2 1 2 2 2 2 1 2 to diminish, she stated. Although our record doesn ' t show it, we were a very strong team, said Katrina Dittemore ' 85. Some of our main problems were with injuries, but an athletic trainer, Alisha Johnson, was added to help in that area. Another problem was lack of com- munication on the court. Any team that doesn ' t have communication on and off the courthas some real prob- lems. If communication had been present, we would have had a lot bet- ter outcome. No one person can be a lone star; everyone has to work as a team and participate as a whole. — T ■:. ' : ' .: . : ; ■ M i 0- • - n ' ■■? P k emm 124 VOLLEYBALL

Runners Face Tottgli Sehedttle Running a tough schedule against some of the top ranked teams in the state proved difficult for the ' 83 boys ' cross country team. We had two returning lettermen and one senior rvmning against teams dominated with upperclassmen and returning lettermen, said Mr. Harold Hickman, coach. Cross country competition has always been tough, he explained. But some of the top teams are from Marion County, so we had to run against the best teams from the very start of the season. Our young team just didn ' t have the experience they needed when put against ranked run- ners. We got off to a slow start, said Jon Bolen ' 85. Since most of us didn ' t do summer nmning, we took too long getting into shape. Kerry Dearth ' 85, injured early in the season, felt the team members had more potential than they were willing to use. We had the ability, and we got along weU, he said. We just didn ' t take things seriously. Other team members included Chris Becher, David Gray, John Lentz, seniors; David Bouchie, Lane Dunagin, Andy Skorjanc, and Ronald Hoffmann, juniors.
