Despite the problems there were with the many injuries, the Wildcats still stuck together and showed some real poten- tial. The season went out with a bang. The last two games were played well and resulted in vic- tories. The Wildcat squad played many tough teams. Most of the teams were ranked as state teams. That didn ' t seem to intimidate them, they still went into the games playing the best they could. Many players shined throughout these tough games. Honors were received by: Lance Ramsey first team Defensive Back, Dwayne Davis first team Linebacker and second team Running Back, Bill Hallack received Honorable Mention for Linebacker, Doug Morland received Honorable Mention for Punter, and Mike Gemes received first team Offensive Line and second team Defensive Line. tl U I- ■■ ■ -I ■ -, - • ' •i ■•-: sa •» T ?8 Sl - S ' n tS Seniors Kevin Byrd and Jim Mick attempt to block against the Kemper Military players.

Hardly what most would consider an act of a volleyball player, but leave it to WHS players to shoot for the unusual. A six-pack was given to the player who, while spiking the ball hit another player on the head. This may seem like a difficult feat, but for two hard working players, the six-pack was an ac- complished goal. The girls who received this honor were Stephani Morland, freshman, and Mindi Massey, sophomore, each girl receiving two six-packs each. The year ended with a record of 5 wins, 14 losses, 2 ties, and third place in the Cole Camp Invitational Tournament. Jenny Guerrero, senior, received Most Im- proved Player, Mindi Massey , sophomore, received the hustle award, Stephani Morland, ' freshman, was voted Most Valuable Player, Kaysinger Conference volleyball players were Morland, first team, Massey, second team. In Tri-County action, Massy received first team honors and Morland received honorable men- tion. The Varsity volleyball ' s record might not have been as impressive as others, but experience was not on their side. With three seniors and no juniors, the team was made up of mostly fresh- men and sophomores. Our senior leadership ' will be greatly missed, but with our team being primarily comprised of sophomores this year, I look for some very excit- ing things to happen next year. These young ladies learned a great deal about what it will take to become a successful team. I believe they have the desire to do what is necessary to be- come that successful team, stated Coach Peggy Gilmore. Keeping this in mind, and remembering they were up against teams twice their size, when the team went down, they went down fighitng until the end. Spirits were always high in win or loss. The Varsity volleyball team proved that even fresh- men and sophomores can compete and win. S3
