Still Swinging This year's 1982 baseball team had a rather disappointing season but they were up against very tough opponents. The Devils' coaches are Thomas Hafdahl and Les Koppendrayer. Although this year's seniors will be missed next year the remainder of the team plus the newcomers plan to give it their best shot. We're sure their hard work will pay off! 1) Boy! Was that one a close call! , says John Arbogast. 2) Mike Joelson watches the game from the Blue Devils dug out. 3) Darren Maturi belly flops to safety. 4) Coach Tom Hafdahl thinks over the game plans. 5) Front row L-R: Mike Joelson, Dave Sipola, Tim Koski, Damien Birnstihl, John Miladin, Mark Lundmark, Darren Maturi, Coach Koppendrayer, Greg Aslakson, Mike Mattila, John Arbogast, Peter McKenzie, Phil Bloom, Bob Eilertson, Coach Tom Hafdahl.

Practice Pays The 1982 girls volleyball team, headed by coaches, Jackie Witty and Jill Kokkonen, and the captain Kim Salo practices hard every day after school. The team was young but experienced with many returning letter winners. The VHS spikers compiled a record of 18-1. The only loss came to Greenway. A few of the seasons highlights included a first-place finish in the Virginia Invitational, a first-place finish in Sub-Region 4 with a 6-0 record, and a first-round victory over Chisago Lakes in the Region 7- AA tournament. The team consisted of 2 seniors, 11 Juniots, 1 Sophomore, and 1 Freshman. With many returning letter winners next year, the team expects to do well again. Off 1.

Take A Swing At It! With all returning players from the past season, Virginia was expected to do very well. The team took first place in the Virginia Invitational in which Mike Sklasz was medalist. Vir- ginia, outshot by Eveleth by only a few strokes, finished sec- ond overall in the East Range Conference and again Sklasz received medalist honors. Dave Paukner finished fourth, John Ewens eighth, and Bruce Olson nineth. At the regional meet, Virginia finished a disappointing third. However, Sklasz and Lisa Peterson placed second and third respectively earning themselves a trip to the state meet where competition proved very tough. In tne boys' division, Sklasz finisned eleventh though he felt girls' division Peterson tied with Terri Carneal of Minneapolis for runner-up honors. Con- gratulations to both Mike ana Lisa for their fine performance! 1) Left to Right, Top row: R. Olson, Scott Smylie, Mark Beulke.
