Never give up The varsity volleyball team adopted this motto by experience during the year. In many games they had to come from behind to win. Considering that they had only a few weeks of practice before the season opened, they had never played together, there was only one returning varsity player, and that they averaged about six inches shorter than every other team in the district, the year went very well. There was a battle for the district title with the deciding game between Quitman and Commerce going into post-district play. Although this game was lost, it was an exciting and rewarding season. l' , t Help her , Twyla Zip, zip, let's rip!! Dumbfounded The bearded lady It was here a minute ago

P V 'V My ideas on coaching probably come from the old saying, It is not whether you win or lose but how you play the game. Like everyone else, I enjoy win- ning and like to have the girls work toward that end. However, it seems to me that you must give them the knowledge and the skills required for the sport. THEN allow the girls to work to the best of their ability. When, as competitors, they have done their best, let's hope they then real- ize that their best is all we expect of them. Girls in sports competition and physical education do encounter situations that are not available in the classroom. These experiences have lifetime value. Learn- ing to win and to lose gracefully, learning to enjoy lifetime physical activities, learning to have enduring satisfaction through personal, family and community sports is worth any coach's time and effort. lst ROW - Elaine Neighbors, Sebri inda Mills, Renee Sessions, Becky Bruner, Sherry Harper. 2nd ROW - Vanessa Kelley Letr1c1a Blankenship, Jan Bussellhrenda Grant Twyla Mitcham, Nancy Richards, Deborah Clanton, Pat Neighbors - Coach.
