Spikers place third at State meet Placing third at the 4A State Tournament highlighted an out- standing season for the girls volley- ball team. In the first round, the spikers defeated Shawnee Heights. However, the Cougars succumbed to the height of Bishop Miege losing 12-15, 15-17. In the final round, the girls recovered from their loss and upended Manhattan 15-11, 16-14 for third place. Reaching State was considerably easier. The volleyball team captured first place at the Regional Tourna- ment. The spikers handily defeated Great Bend in their initial game. In the final game, the Cougars defeat- ed Salina Central 15-9, 15-9. That win enabled the girls to compete at State. In the CKL meet, the girls com- peted in their last league meet. They had wins over Central and Manhat- tan. It was the fourth straight year that South's volleyball team has captured the CKL title. While compiling a 22-7 won-lost record, the team placed first five times, second two times and third twice. Their lowest finish was fifth place in the Lawrence Tournament against many 5A powers. The spik- ers competed in meets held in Tope- ka, Newton, Junction City, and Em- poria. The junior varsity was predomi- nately made up of freshman and sophomores. They compiled a win- ning record, winning seven games and losing two. This leaves a bright outlook for the volleyball program at South. gli? mi
