Enis agreed, The first year really helped and this year they have improved very much.” For a second season the Pflugerville Athletic Program offered the op- portunity to participate in the relatively new sport; volleyball. I feel volleyball is an excellent sport. It’s good that it came to Pflugerville because the girls have another sport that is available to them.” remarked sophomore Paige Morrow. For girls that do not enjoy basketball, volleyball has given them a chance to participate in a team sport. ‘ 1 feel that volleyball was a good experience for me and I enjoyed playing it. It gave a lot of other girls a chance to play a different kind of sport rather than basketball or track,” agreed sophomore Dina Jackson.

Sophomore Melissa King said, I think the team is doing a lot bet- ter and within a few years I think Pflugerville can be State Champions.” Photo by Tammy Bradley Sophomore Sheralyn Mott gets set for the next play during a home game.
