Coach Mario Bisio felt that this strength was derived from the ex- cellent blocbing of players libe veterans Lisa Byrd and Kristin Ericbson. but that the team ' s weabnesses were the result of a lacb of bnowledge regarding p ositions on the part of the many new players. The girls lost their first game to the Hug Hawbs, who proved to be the biggest obstacle for the Husbies dur- ing the entire season. However, the team did manage to compile a 13-5 conference record. At the zone tournament the Husbies had victories over over Sparbs, South Tahoe, Carson City, and Douglas, but were defeated by Hug in the hnals. and had to be con- tent with a second place finish, the highest Reno High School has ever placed in volleyball. At the state tournament, the Husbies managed to survive through the first day of competition but, on the second day, were again defeated by the Hug Hawbs, thus putting the girls out of the state competition. The Husbies didn ' t walb away from state empty-handed, however. Lisa Byrd won the conference player of the year award and was also elected to the All-State team along with Heidi Raber. This year ' s junior varsity team did not have a coach until one day before their first game. Despite hav- ing gotten off to a late start, and los- ing many of their first games, the girls, under the direction of Coach Bill Koma, did not give up without a fight. The team ' s final 4-12 record did not adequately reflect the effort the team showed towards the end of the season. Their most valuable player award went to sophomore Lisa Berry.
