Y' 'W M :ul V bompioms I. A victory over Dun- canville High School clinched a playoff spot for this year's team. Defeating the Gophers in the final district game put the icing on the cake for an unde- feated season. The team, dominated by mostly seniors, pulled together and decided this is the year they would go to the play- offs. People like Stacy Lancaster, Michelle Smith, Sandi Sherrill and sophomore Jenni- fer McFalls made the season hard for most schools to compete with the district 8-5A champions. They shot most teams down in two sets. I feel real good about what we have done, we did what we planned on doing, quotes Karen Jones. The team worked out hard everyday and pushed it to the limit during the off-season. We worked real hard and stuck together all year, says sophomore Jennifer McFalls, and it seemed to pay off. The team came togeth- er early and decided that if they were going to win the district crown, this would be the year. Led by a group of hardnose, dedicated seniors that didn't want anything but the best, the under- classmen were shown the way to a winning path. They wanted this year bad, they told us that early this year. Since there are a lot of seniors we wanted to help make it special for them, explains Jenni- fer McFalls. During the playoff games, the team ran across a tough Rich- land High School team. The team went down early in the first set and found it hard to catch up. But they did not give up. During the second set, they put a rally together, but could not get the breaks. With such a great district season, the fortune had to end sometime, and unfor- tunately they had to stop early in the play- offs. 'Wm 'ivrfi' VARSITY VOLLEYBALL 1 1 1
