Set, bump, spike, victory CLOSE YOUR EYES, open wide, and swallow! Cheryl Green, appearing to swallow a giant marshmallow, sets up for a spike against Roncalli oppo- nents. Beginning again A New Beginning was the theme of the varsity volleyball team, starting with new coaches and new ideas, It was not only a new beginning, said Coach Rita Robbins, but also a good beginning for us. The team ended the season at the .500 mark, with a 9-7 season, 10-9 counting tourney. The year went the way Coach Robbins expected, commenting I was pleased with the record. Even the games we lost were very close. Coach Robbins, in her first year as head coach, changed her style somewhat from last season. The team utilized a man-up defense and instilled a seri- ous weight-training program. For the most part, the team was young, and in- cluded only two returning players with previous var- sity experience. These varsity veterans, Karen Green and Kathleen Steinhauer, offered the team stability. Already looking to next year. Coach Robbins ex- pected a strong returning spiking group, and said that the present group really began to jell, to pull together in the end. LAUNCHING IT like a rocket, Kathleen Steinhauer aims her powerful serve over the net to an unsuspecting Franklin Central team. VARSITY VOLLEYBALL TEAM: Coach Rita Robbins, Cathy Torzewski, Crystal Hudson, Kathleen Steinhauer, Stacy Pierce, Sally Kleifgen, Ann Brennan. Connie Hines, Ann Skin- ner, Amy LaVertu, Annette Stroup, Sandy Kleifgen, Meliss Brzezinski, Lori Allgood. 116 Volleyball

Although the record shows 3-14, eight games were lost by six points or less. It was a disappointing season, re- marked Coach Bob Hasty, but they did improve. Many were young and inexperienced in varsity. Sev- en are returning next year. Players backed up the coach's comments. Junior Jeff Barras remarked, It was hard to keep morale up in the middle of the season, but we just kept trying. Many games were lost in the third or the fourth quarte r because the team was outrun, according to Keith Jones. Since many of the varsity players were juniors, they'll have another year to develop strength and height. Some seniors had difficulty adjusting to the style of a new coach. Juniors, who had played for Mr. REBOUND THAT BASKETBALL! Sophomore Tim Jeffers jumps a little higher to get the rebound, in the game against Roncalli.
