X IIIIPEC 7 . L TEAM -a number of persons associated in some joint action, or a cooperative effort for a common cause, as one of the sides in a game or contest. Being team-oriented, high spirited, and never giv- ing up, the girls varsity volleyball team had a great season. At the beginning of the season, expectations and spirits were high. The girls worked hard to develop their ideas and strengths to pull together and to bring true meaning to the definition of a team . Although the varsity squad did not fare as well as they had hoped, at the end of the season their task proved to be a very productive and rewarding encounter. Developing skills, techniques, and strategies was all part of the game. The best way that this was ac- complished was practice, practice, practice, and still even more practice. This year was an exciting one. I learned a lot from my coach and my teammates. l think this year helped me become a better person-inside and out. We had a lot of hard practices, but all in all, it paid off. There were several times that I did not think l was going to make it through the rest of practice. This season was successful. l am very proud to have played on the varsity volleyball team, said Denise Stanley, junior. 'lllllil Pulling together as one for a common cause is a major part in achieving one's goals. Our volleyball season over all was very good. We had o slow start, but once we got it together, it was hard for anyone to get us down. We had a lot of team unity, which led us to lose only three of our district games. We all learned a lot from Coach Jackson. She is a very good coach. What was good was we all got along which really helped at times. I really had fun this season and l am looking forward to next season, stated Toni Walters, junior. Success comes when all involved work together and support one another. One of the most important parts of the team comes from the leadership of the coach. Coach Kirby Jackson was the source for this all-important position. Coach Jackson gave her com- plete support and encouragement to the varsity squad. Her expertise and the team's joint goal speaks for itself. This year's accomplishments were commendable to say the least. Coach Jackson and the returning var- sity players, as well as the new team members, are looking forward to another exciting and memorable season next year. -Trisha Steitle tai.. If 'Qi .i Q.
