JV volleyball team has miracle season -i To go 20-8 overall and win a first half district championship is always an achieve- ment, but to do it the way the Junior Varsity Lady Dragons did it may be even more of one. Head Coach Sandy Flora described her team as the least experienced kids in 100 miles in any direction. She added, We literally, scrounged a team out of the hallway. Most girls on a JV team have usual- ly played since seventh grade. But not this 1 Record Opponent Temple EEFEEFPEEEEEEEQ Ellison Bryan University Killeen Richfield Temple Westwood Ellison Bryan University Killeen Richfield Junior Varsity District w if ,Westwood . ,L team, The inexperience showed early out, as the junior varsity lost four of its first five games. But Flora remained confident, in- sisting the talent was there. Sure enough, the JV caught fire and blitz- ed seven straight opponents to power its way to a first half district championship and a tie for second place in the second half. The team also progressed on an individual level. Julie Wiley, Brenda Burse, and Kim Machalicek were the kids l counted most, according to Flora, and Miche Robertson was the most improved over t season stretch. Overall, the Ladies finish with a 12-2 district mark.
