Team Sets p for State Members of varsity volleyball were ready to start their new yean They were filled with hard work, dedication and the will to win. With their new coach, Ardena Ardie Mclnelly, and their hard work, they were ready to go all the way, and they did just that. The season started off with Skyline walking all over Bon- neville, Twin Falls and Poky. Things at this point were looking great. But spirit was slightly down after they lost five out of the next seven games. But all of this didn't make the Grizzlies lose their will to win,' it just made them want it all the more. So they worked hard and went on in the next 10 games to record eight additional victories. District tournament was next on the calendar and the first game looked tough. But when the day came, Skyline found them- selves bringing Madison down. Only losing to l.F., Skyline took second in district and was on its way to state. At state, the Grizzlies were defeated by Nampa and Lewiston and came out with an overall record of 15-11. Setting the ball for Bobble K night is Lyn Stone. Giving some instructions and encouragement, Coach Ardle Mclnelly huddles with the team. 136 Varslty Volleyball

Returning pikers Form Nucleus Coming into the '85 season, the volleyball team had something new. and something old. With six returning varsity players as a nucleus for the team, prospects looked bright. When four JV players, who saw considerable action last year, were added, things looked even better. Then, a new coach, with collegiate playing and high school coaching experience en- tered the scene. Chances of a state berth looked good. lt might have been tough to make the chanbges and adjust- ments at first, ut both players and coach found out what the other wanted. Coach Aride Mc- lnelly required lots of hard work to get the team in shape. The girls knew it wouldn't be easy. Early practice sessions brought pain, but as the season rolled along, the pain soon subsided and the team skills began to jell. By tournament time, the squad was ready for nearly anyone as they made it to the State A-1 play offs. 1 ll, r Ng' I ' I 1 'K fx V' 6' ' 1 .H . -w vu' lb F 138 Varsity Volleyball
