The girls on the Junior Varsity Volleyball team really showed their stuff’ in '78 with 3 more wins than last year. Four sophomores and five juniors made up a small hut hard working team ready to muster the close games and tough practices. The girls had conditioning work outs three weeks before summer vacation ended. Two of the girls, Lynne Robbins and Belinda Rhodes, went to volleyball camp at O.C.E. with some of the Varsity players. The season went very well,” said Coach Maggie Birch. Maggie explained how the team had their ups and downs throughout the season. It’s hard for nine girls of various personalities to get along. One night after school the girls all sat down and had a talk. They talked over everything that was bothering them and it really seemed to help, said Maggie. Maggie claimed that one of the team’s biggest problems was keeping themselves up during a game. Whenever the team made a few mistakes, the girls got really down on themselves. Sophomore Leslie Noteboom expressed herself by saying, I just thought it was a lot of fun. ” JV Players Really T)o CThe Job 7-8 0-4 15-17 15-15 1315-8 12- 15-15 15-17 5-15-17 15- 10-15 7-6 16- 15 15-8-13 13- 15-9 15-12-10 15-2-15 15-15-15 I )an Schmidt serves the hall. 2.

Varsity Volleyball: Comes Back Bten Stronger “The season went well,” said Coach Karen Kolen; “I felt we could have had a few more wins than what we did but. we did do a lot of improving and that's important. The girls were one step ahead of themselves. When they started the season, they already knew the skills and so they worked to improve them. Coach Kolen said that the girls did drills and ran a 6-2 offense. By doing this the girls had improved as individuals and as a team. ‘ Probably the hardest thing for me to accomplish was proving to the girls that they could win. Sometimes I got carried away with wanting to win' but the girls did have some real good games as well as matches. ’' explained Miss Kolen. Julie Ricks summed up the season stating, “No matter what happened we always seemed to keep our humor and high spirits; that’s what kept us going!“ SA Varsity Volleyball 5-9 Crescent Valley 15-15 15-15 West Albany 3-6 7-16 Corvallis 15-18 10-1 Lebanon 15-15 11-14 McNary 15-15 8-13 North Salem 15-15 4-1 South Salem 6-13 15-15 Sprague 9-10 15-15 Crescent Valley 5-12 15-15 West Albany 15-15 2-12 Corvallis 15-15 11-15-5 Lebnaon 15-8-15 5-15-12 McNary 15-10-1 9-15-12 North Salem 15-11-1 6-15-9 3-6 Sprague South Salem 15-15 Jackson Invitational: third WINS-5 LOSSES-8 “The girls had a strong will to learn and worked hard this season. ” —Coach Karen Colen. 1. junior Loretta Robinson jumps up to block the ball as teammates Man Hull.
