Girlsi volleyball team went DOWN TO THE LINE The Warrior girls' vol- leyball team played an exceptional 1987 season with a record of 5 wins and 3 losses. Led by team captain and most valua- ble player, Heather Har- vey, the girls fought their way to a second place fin- ish in the Northern Pinel- las Division. The team practiced af- ter school for two and one L half hours every day be- ginning August 31 through November 4. Their practices were de- voted to developing and improving volleyball skills and fundamentals. Many students will re- member their stunning upset of, at the time, un- defeated Kennedy Middle School. End of the season awards were presented to Heather Harvey, Most Valuable Player, Sheryl Finstein, Most Improved Player, and Ellen Burns, Zeal Inspiration and Per- severance tZIPL These girls showed great lead- ership, sportsmanship and outstanding school spirit.

Coach Hines was the girls' vol- leyball coach, and he was suc- cessful in coaching the team to an outstanding second place fin- ish in the district. Although he has coached for three years, this is his first year at SHMS. I en- joy teaching and motivating the players. With all the sixth and seventh graders returning next year, I think we might be con- ference champions, said coach Hines. Front Row: Annette Friedrich, Karen Petrynic, Robin Finkel.

Boys prove they are BIG iN BAD The boys basketball season started off with a bang when approximate- ly 130 boys tried out to shoot hoop for SHMS. When tryouts were com- pleted, only 17 boys had made the team. Team leaders were point guard Peter John- son, forward Chip Folger, forward Jason Hatcher, center Dan Kiesling and shooting guard Jamie Burris. The team held rig- orous practices everyday, including four scrimages against tough teams from other divisions. This year was the first season of the three point line shot. There were a few players who were free to shoot the three pointer when open. Jamie Burris was the first War- rior to make a three point shot. The shot was used to help open up the game when,they were ahead and to catch up when he- hind. Even with tough com- petition from Dunedin and Tarpon, the team had a great successful season.
