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

The girls had a record of four wins and three losses. For the boys, they had a record of thirteen wins and four losses. Freshman Cori Henderson for the J.V. girls said, I thought we had a really good record and year. I thought Mr. Dixon was really patient during the whole season, which helped the team as a whole. Freshman, Leanne Thixton for the J.V. girls commented, Even though we were mostly freshmen with about three sophomores we did an excellent job. We worked together to win and succeeded! Mr. Dixon worked a lot with the Var- sity, but still took time out to work with the J.V. too. It paid off! I really think we had a successful year, we learned a lot and played really well together, and I think that this year will reflect on next year, said freshman, Eric Ramsey for the J.V. boys. Sophomore Greg Lutman for the J.V. boys stated, I think our team held together and worked together great, and that brought us a good record this year. Both teams had a winning record, and the members of both boys and girls J.V. are ready to have another winning record next year.
