Second row - Mary Coupe, Amy Majerus, Amy Slominski, Theresa Knobbe, and Ruth Murphy. Third row - Ann Scheitel, Betsy Marx, Lisa Keller, Ann Frederick, Kathy Aitken, Jan Fleskoski, and Kathy Nichols. Even though the 1980 Irish volleyball season turned out to be a little disappointing, the girls showed much improvement over the previous years. Each time they took to the court, they showed more determination and effort, which was evident in their 4-9 record, the best record since volleyball began as a regular sport at Sacred Heart. Vicki Rathman was named to the all-conference team at the end of the season, and Joyce Stratton was given honorable mention all-conference honors. Pictured above at the left is Kathy Nichols slamming the ball over the net while Betsy Marx and Joyce Stratton await the possible return. At the top right, Joyce Stratton bumps the ball while Janet Tauchen stands by, adding moral support. At the center right, Theresa Knobbe bends-over-backwards in an effort to move the ball to the opposite side of the net as Ruth Murphy and Ann Frederick look on. 19

Gridders Show Much Improvement FOOTBALL SCOREBOARD S.H. 31 Pawnee City OPP 0 6 Southeast 12 6 Lincoln High Reserves 0 26 Axtell, Ks. 13 12 Midway-Denton, Ks. 19 15 Palmyra 12 12 Meridian 24 26 Humboldt 6 6 Nebraska City Lourdes 0 The 1980 football season proved to be one of the best in a number of years. The team wrapped up their winning season with a 6-3 record, which is the best record Coach Lonnie Ford has had since he began coaching at Sacred Heart. Under the leadership of team captains Doug Goltz and Jeff Frederick, the Irish showed great effort and determination each time they took to the field. This year, they encountered something new to all of them, as they traveled to Meridian to play an 8-man football game. Although they were defeated in their attempt at this slightly different type of ball, they gained much valuable experience. At the end of this year's season, Steve Hoy was named to the All-conference team as a defensive lineman as a result of his efforts on the squad. The team also produced 18 lettermen, 12 of whom were underclassmen, which will prove to be a great asset in the upcoming years. Pictured at the bottom right is Mark Bentley, making his way carefully down the field towards the end zone, while Dave Knobbe prepares himself to lend a helping hand the minute he's needed. At the bottom left, an excited group of Irishmen gather together after a victorious evening of football. Pictured above are the junior and senior members o( this year's football squad. Front row, left to right: Don Hoppe, Mark Bippes, Jeff Oliver, Steve Hoy, Dave Knobbe, Kevin Smith, and Henry Silva.
