Mr. Henricksen and Miss Freitag took the volleyball coaching challenges this year. During the practices, the players showed a great deal of effort and enthusiasm. The team was senior dominated the year before, so there were few experienced players returning. With the loss of seven players, three setters and four spikers, the team had to create determination. But this year's team proved to have quite a few possibilities. Sheila Bauder led everyone on service reception with 84%. There were four people with 100% setting: Deb Boehler set 10 out of 10, Brenda Barnell set 1 out of 1, Stephanie Spearman set 1 out of 1 and Julie Oates set 2 out of 2. In the area of spiking, it was once again Sheila Bauder who led with 12 kill spikes. She was followed by Melissa Ochsner who totaled a number of 9 kills. Brenda Schroetlin led everyone with 88 attempts at spiking. The team had four major blockers: Sheila Bauder with 16 good blocks, Brenda Schroetlin and Melissa Ochsner each with 12 good blocks and Pattie Kastens with 9 good blocks. The most important area of the game is serving. Brenda Barnell had the lead with 100%, serving 4 out of 4 serves. She was followed by Sheila with a 93.5% serving record. Melissa was close behind with 92.9%. Becky Scoville led everyone with total points scored for the season. She scored 43 points and was followed by Pattie Kastens who scored 42. Two people from the Sutton team were selected for awards: seniors Pattie Kastens for 1st team All County and 2nd team All Conference, and junior Brenda Veleba with All County Honorable Mention.

Seeing some success, despite a distressing season, the Sutton High School football team worked their way through the 1982 season with the final record of 0-9. Although the final record showed no wins, the team itself gained a few wins on their own. The team began practices realizing it was going to be a tough season because they had lost quite a few players from the year before. The team had only a few boys with past experience to lean on. There were two All-Conference Honorable-Mention players picked — junior, Brian Tessman for defense, who led the team with 119 tackles, and senior, Tom Sheridan for offense. Scott Scheierman, sophomore, was chosen for the All-Conference team as an offensive end. One of the most impressive happenings of the season was a 67-yard pass from quarterback Stan Rath to Tom Sheridan. Tom also had the longest running play of the season. The closest game of the season was against Dorchester, which ended with a final score of 7-13. And the most points scored in one game were 14 points scored against Harvard, the game ending 14-32. Coach Stones commented, “We played hard with very little experience. We only had four seniors on the team. We are also fighting a numbers game. We need to get every boy that is capable of participating out for football. We also need to overcome a 'no-need-to-work' attitude and decide to play to win every day in practice, not just on Friday nights. If we can overcome these few points I just stated, I believe that we can have a winning football team once again at Sutton High. The assistant football coach. Mr. Navrkal.
