■ History is made HUSTLE EARNS TEAM DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP The 1983 volleyball season was the most successful in the history of Powers High School. The team used well practiced bumps, exact sets, and smashing spikes to plow their way through Skyline League Play. Elkton handed them their only defeat in league play. The loss placed Elkton and Powers in a tie for first place in the Northern Divi- sion. A coin was tossed to decide seeding for the District Tourna- ment. The Cruisers lost the toss and went to District seeded second. The girls won three tough matches, one against Days Creek, and two against Elkton; but as was their weak point all year, it took three games to win each match. They de- feated Elkton in their last game 15- 13 which sent them to the State B Volleyball Tournament in The Dalles. The Cruisers opened at State by playing Falls City. The girls were excited but tense about their first state tournament play. They played three tough games but ended up two points short from making it into the finals. Two hours later the girls played a consolation match against Condon. Powers won the first game but was again closely de- feated in the next two. The team was disappointed because they ended up fourth, but the left with one thing in mind, We'll be back next year!

Goal achieved DETERMINATION PAYS OFF The team started out the season with one goal in mind, to make it to the State Tournament. All of their practices were fired with hard work and spirit. They were determined to attain their goal and they did. This year's team only had one senior, Shari Kalb, whom they will greatly miss, but the Junior, Soph- omore, and Freshmen girls are looking forward to another trip to the State Tournament. Four girls received All Tournament team honors: Shari Kalb, Shelly Butler, and Kelle Adamek were named to the District 2-B All Tournament Team, and Shelly Butler was named to the 1st Team All State, while Kelle Adamek and Gretchen Stauffer were named to the 2nd Team All State.
