triumphed, winning all of its games, Dulaney Sr. came in secondg Overlea Sr. was thirdg and RHS trailed in fourth place. The team's main difficulty during the season seemed to be servingg be- cause points can only be scored by the serving team, this weakness cost the Rams many games. Another weakness was lack of ex- perienceg RHS had only four return- ing players, including setters Holly Shamleffer and Betsy Kohlhepp. Also, in the beginning of the sea- son, the Rams played teams that were not as skilled as those they played later. After the first few matches, Randallstown became over- confident. On the whole, most of the girls on the team feel that their season could have been better. There's always next year. Exhibiting excellent form, varsity team mem- ber Barbara Moore follows through after set- ting the ball. Extension of elbows and knees is especially important in this overhead pass.

Bump, set. spike- let'S Win 86lVolleyball he JV volleyball team's slow start can be attributed to the fact that there were no re- turning players. This prompted Margaret Hodas, JV volleyball's first-year coach, to focus on basics throughout the sea- song consequently, in the last few games the team picked up wins, aid- ed by Eileen Beanie Wixted's con- sistently good serving and Dawn Garnes' spiking. In contrast, the varsity volleyball team got off to a great start, Susan Lane, varsity volleyball's coach, and the girls worked together well and won their first three games. Varsity's first loss was to Towson Senior High School, whose accurate use of the dink shot amazed the Rams. A dink is a quick, carefully ex- ecuted hit which places the ball into an uncovered area of the court, usu- ally just over the net. The player dinking the ball approaches the net as if she is going to spike, deceiving her opponent. Refusing to capitulate, the Rams defeated their next two opponents, Patapsco and Perry Hall Senior High Schools. Returning senior team members Marcela Robinson and Gina Scott agree that the next game, a loss to Hereford Senior High School, marked the season's turning point. After that game, team unity start- ed to disintegrate, and the players began to blame themselves and each other for mistakes they made. Varsity volleyball lost its next three games but came back to tram- ple Dundalk Senior High School in its last game. The team earned third place in the region and the opportunity to play in the AA Regional Volleyball Tourna- ment. The lineup upon entering the Tournament was Dulaney and Over- lea Senior High Schools in first and second places, respectively, with Towson Sr. in fourth behind RHS. The tournament, held at RHS on November 8, 1980, matched each qualifying team with the other teams in two, 15-point games. The number of games won and lost determined the winner.

-' . Q M t's half-time, Randallstown is losing 2-0. Soccer coach Keith Voelker's voice echoes around the whitewashed locker room. Men, we have to do better. David Shevitz, what are your observa- tions? Well, in the first half, we played better than the other team: We kept the ball on their side. They took sev- en goal shots and we took nine .... The thing is, they scored two goals. We didn't score any. How astute of you, David. What do you think, Marshall Katz? If we'd play more like a team we could do betterf' If some of us would get rid of our personal differences, adds fullback Jeff Cohen, maybe we could start playing team ball.

Varsity soccer coach Keith Voelker urges team members to work together to defeat Mil- ford Mill. We have a lot of ability, com- ments goalie Todd Clem. Coach Voelker paces around the room, thinking about this year's team performance. Individually, these boys are certainly talented. Let's not knock ourselves too much, says Jon Ferber. Of the three years I've played on varsity soccer, this year's the best. Well, cuts in the coach, it's time to go back on the field. And remember, you're all on the same team. . .,......,-I . . ..............,.. ..,. . M W., , ..... . . , ..... . u ll
