It took 14 years to do it, but with a pep talk from Mike Spieker in the huddle, the Pirates finally scored a win over the Elgin Eagles. This victo- ry, coupled with the Homecoming forfeit by Spalding were the only bright spots in a disappointing sea- son. Top. Full Team: (back row) Randy Johnson. Todd Jennings. Ken Ma- jerus.

What a year! After a slow beginning the varsity started working together as a real team. With second place finishes in the Spalding Tournament and the PHS Quadrangular, the team was ready to win. Ranked fourth at Districts, the girls had their work cut out for them. The hard work and the will to win payed off when they won the District cham- pionship. Regionals was their next obstacle, but again they emerged victorious, becoming the first volleyball team in the history of PHS to go to the State Tournament. Sadly, the team loses seven seniors. Great going girls! Top right. Jackie Daly displays the winning form which earned her All-State honors, as she sets the ball during the Spalding Tourna- ment.
