Tough Games Tough Team 'fVVe had tough competition, but we were competitive. That was the comment made by Ms. Liz Lady tCoachl who headed the Varsity Vol- leyball team. She was talking about the stiffer competition expected from the Sierra League teams. Top players included Dana Tweedie, Barbie Veselic and Ronda Dalthorp. Barbie was named Most Valuable Playerg Ronda was honored with First Team All League Award. Part of their success was attributed to an experienced Varsity team. There were many returning players to provide tough competition for their opponents. Ms. Lady hoped to come out on top at the end of the season and to obtain a CIF playoff berth. Her Varsity team achieved both. They finished the season in 2nd place and went to CIF. They played Cypress in their first game, but lost two to none. Q LSPIKING THE WINNING POINT is not Dana Tweedie's usual contribution to the team. She was the starting setter on the 11 member team.

They had hopes of a win- ning season and they obtained just that with a season of 8-I. lust like the Sophomore team, their only defeat was against Los Altos with the score of O-I7. A few of the games were won by a wide margin. Such games were against Alhambra where the final score was 35-Og against Rowland the Mustangs were on top with the score oflb-O. The coaching staff that contributed to the winning season was, Head Coach Denis Paul, assistants Coach William Sheppard and Bob McKinney. Running back Mike Lena- han, wide receiver, kicker leff Hooker, and quarterback, Dave Ungard were just a few of the fresh- men that contributed to a winning season. Frosh Reserve finished the season with a record of I-5. Though other teams dropped down their freshmen to play our reserve team, they did a good job, said Coach Rick Valencia. Also coaching the Reserve team was Coach Schafer. Tom Buzzaro and Sam Doty were just two of the Reserve team that did a good job this season. Though this is the first year at Walnut for Coach Valencia, when asked how he liked coaching our Reserve team he rep- lied, I Iove-it. The kids, the coaches are great. 2g QWORKING FOR THE FIRST DOWN, Wal- nutkottense charge was denied by Montclair's defense. Walnut went on to achieve a 8-I sea- son.
