The arrival of a new coach, Mary Martin, and the loss of all but two varsity players made this year a rebuilding season for the Irish ladies. Senior player Laura Marsh said, HOff the record, we had a really great volleyball season. Coach Martin added extra enthusiasm through her new and always challenging drills. But most of all, I'll always remember the team experience and getting to know the players. HI-Iopefully the determination of the young players exhibited will aid in rebuilding a future successful volleyball team, added Darla Klieth- emles. This year's volleyball team had a tough season. The players worked and sweated hard every day, and always kept their chins up. The team started practicing on August 4th in the hot gym and never gave up until the season was over. Although efforts didn't win games, the experience that each player eamed would help them in future seasons. Darla went on to earn second team, and Laura eamed Honorable Mention in the conference. , ST, 41 Volleyball

Although hopes of a successful basketball season were dashed, the seniors restored confidence and leadership in the young players by pep talks before, during, and after the games. Darla Kliethermes stated, iiOur record does not express the fun we had this year. Being a senior was exciting and I enjoyed helping the younger ones who needed some improvement in the different areas of their basket- ball skills. Michelle Manczuk summarized the season. Basket- ball this year lacked only one thing - victories. Other than that, it was a lot of fun, especially the bus trips back home! Basketball 45 .wwws .
