Lady Bulldogs At State ‘ — !'5' I 1 ' |1 f ■ ULSIll nns 2 f iVl J I |MJ , L HI To say that this was an exciting year for volleyball is putting it mildly. Just about everyone felt the thrill of being a winner. It sparked enthusiasm in everyone. As the team kept stacking up victory after victory more fans started coming out to watch the games. It was exciting enough when the team captured the district championship. When they took the title at sectionals, everyone knew they wouldn’t stop there — they were “state bound.” So when they played in the super-sectionals at Carlinville, a fan bus carried approximately 50 enthusiastic fans up there to watch the game. After two very close (whew!) games, the Lady Bulldogs once again came through. Some shed tears of joy as the Staunton crowd rushed to the floor to congratulate the team. Thursday, December 4, was declared a school holiday so everyone could go up to Illinois State University to root for the Lady Bulldogs. Three fan buses were needed to transport the students to watch the volleyball team play in the state play- offs. The day didn’t end quite as everyone had hoped, but the team knew they were backed by a lot of people. Staunton High is very proud of the efforts put forth by the team and their coach. After all, being one of the top eight schools in our class is GREAT!! fek.
