Girls Unmatched In League For the fourth straight year, the Royals Girls Volleyball team carried the Channel League championship with them to the CIF post-season competition. The Royals advanced through the first two rounds with exciting wins over Marlborough and Mater Dei. The spikers were three games away from a possible CIF 4A championship, but in the quarter-finals the past became the present. The spikers met the team that had eliminated them from the 1978 play-offs, Newport Harbor. Newport soundly defeated the flu-ridden Royals 15-7, 15-2, ending the 1978 season. The team, led by Seniors Kate Borden, Linda McMahon, Tammy Steuart, and Juniors Julie Cederberg, Joyce Bowie, Annie Stelter and Jane Scott, finished the season with an outstanding 12-0 league record, and overall record of 15- 2. Coach Tom Shoji commented on the season, This is the best all around team l have hadg it was consistant both offensively and defensively. VOLLEYBALL JV.

1-. 1 W .f- M Tops Buena With the CIF finalists Dos Pueblos and Buena in the Channel League, the girls' varsity basketball team had a very impressive season with an overall record of 16-6. Highlighting the season was the well earned first place finish in the Bird Cage Classic where the Royals triumphed over Dos Pueblos and the CIF champion team, Buena in major upsets. Coach Tony Vigna, in his first year of coaching the girls' team commented, Girls basketball needs to be emphasized much earlier. The boys have years of opportunity whereas the girls don't become involved until much later. Outstanding players included Most Valuable Player Cindy Battistone and senior Michelle Meaney. The JV basketball team improved greatly from September to March with the help of much practice and teamwork. Coach Bard Salcido commented, The girls went from individuals to a team and then to a family. After the team's disappointing loss to Buena 61-I6 their motto became no more humiliation, and they proved this by beating Santa Barbara 48-31 after a loss earlier in the season. Most Valuable Player Carol Wesolowski, Most Improved Player Karen Michaels, and Most Inspirational Player Jody Gebert all helped to further the Royals' success.
