We were all friends and we didn ' t carry any grudges from previous games, said Patrice Pothier. Each new game was different. The team ended the season with a record of five wins and eight losses. I thought that we would do better because of the change in leagues, said Coach Allmoslecher. As it turned out. the teams in this league were a lot tougher than the teams in our previous league. Lisa made second team all league, and Tessie re- ceived honorable men- tion. Tessie analyzed the year by saying, All in all, we had a good season after we really got serious about playing.

Girls Volleyball t M m W Set to imp ' ' . - Through hard work, and posit, pringing into a new league like pouncing lionesses, the new Frosh-Soph and Junior Varsity volleyball players added good atti- tudes to energetic prac- tices, eventually finishing second place for the Frosh-Soph team and third place for the Junior Varsity team. Both teams started the year with nearly all new players, achieving success by im- proving throughout the season. Although both teams needed to start from the beginning by learning the fundamentals, success came as a result of im- proving their skills, a rea- son for the J.V. te am ' s third place and the Frosh- Soph team ' s second place in league.

As if embodying the theme for the school for the 1986- 87 year, Caring and Sharing, both teams and coaches helped all others on the team to make the difference. The whole team got along, said J.V. team member Heather Espinoza. Similarities continued between J.V. and Frosh- Soph teams as Everyone helped everyone out, had a positive attitude, and worked as a team. All teams need other tools to improve and stay together as a finely tuned team.
