3rd in conference tops strong season ive seniors, seven ju- niors, and one sopho- more led the girls' Vol- leyball team to an 8-4 confer- ence, a 16-12 overall record and third place in conference. Losing only to Thornwood and Homewood-Flossmoor brought us up to a high level of play and gave us a positive mental attitude, stated Joelle Mendez, team captain. With that PMA the girls went on to beat T. F. North in three close games in the first game of regionals. They had that excitement that comes from a real devoted team that wants to win and have fun playing. They played at their peak and had consistancy and made great plays, stated Miss Kim 148 Volleyball Herman, head coach. Four members were recog- nized for their outstanding per- formances.
