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

Girls tennis places third at CKL The girls tennis squad reflected its youth as the team was unable to capture a championship. Team ef- fort was considered its greatest asset as the girls' talent was in a develop- mental stage. Varsity squad members included two seniors, one junior, two sopho- mores, and a freshman. Sophomore Sharol Short competed as number one singles, while senior Peggy O,Connor was number two. The number one doubles team consisted of sophomore Barb Harris and ju- nior Kathleen Kiernan. Senior The- resa Ayre and freshman Diane Loehr participated in the number two doubles matches. Highlighting the season was a third place finish in the CKL. Shar- on Short placed second in the num- ber one singles by defeating Junc- tion City, Manhattan, and McPher- son opponents. Peggy O,Connor also placed second in the CKL in the number two doubles. The girls, tennis future looks bright as four letterwomen and a solid B team re- turn after gaining much experience for Cougar tennis. ii l' ..rr i trr J ti ilgilliilt i t t . 1 T - .'.. as is -agg, 'isSlH2g . g s 'W ... . . ga X rrsr . . j . . 5 S Y Q . .iii i '... , . 1 Q ' 4 X 3 is as A .Q -. -- - 2 - . mg , . -,E 'MWXWWT FG Q Q at 5 l 5'- .:. i
