Bump, Set, Spike Mid-August marked the start of the 1982 volleyball season, with practice sessions early and often. With only two seniors gone and eight experienced players returning to the varsity, and four newcomers added to the JV squad, the prospects looked very good for the coming season. The Varsity fared well in tournament play, especially at the Spalding Trounament, and dashed Clearwater’s hopes for a “clean-sweep” at their homecoming game. At season’s end, All-Conference honors were given to Jackie Daly, 2nd Team, and Colleen Spieker and Wen- dy Spieker, Honorable Mention. (See photo on page 2.) The Varsity and JV teams concluded their seasons with records of 6-13 and 2-6, respectively. Above, Colleen Spieker is in great position to block one of Clear- water's spikes during the first round victory at the Orchard Tourna- ment.

Hold That Line The Football Team started the season with style by beating Lindsay, H.F. and by participat- ing in the first organized high school football game played within the corporate limits of St. Bernards. The remainder of the season proved to be a real chal- lenge. Most of Petersburg’s scor- ing came in the second half of each game. The season ended unusually with the Pirates com- pleting the Homecoming game the following Monday afternoon. The game was called after one quarter on Friday night because of severe inclement weather. The team was credited with a 2-5 re- cord when Spalding forfeited. The four departing Seniors re- ceived All-Conference Honors: Doug Koch, Rick Pelster, Alvin Starman and Larry Temme. The Reserve Team won its only out- ing, beating Clearwater, 40-14. The Team: L to R (back row) Asst. Coach Dalton. Dean Pelster, Paul Koch. Vin Wie- gand. Bruce Benda.
