With the setback of having a new coach, this year's girls' varsity volleyball team concentrated not so much on victory, but more on consistantancy throughout each match. Each player seemed to have a specialty, but the problem was working together. l'Volleyball is a hard sport to play because it takes a lot of dedication and teamwork stated coach Terry Llegey Because of her past experiences as a volleyuball player she ad mitted that she sometimes expected too much from the girls It s like a love hate relationship Some days l want to scream at the team to make them work harder but the next day l m bringing them roses to reward them for their good work Coach Llegey remarked The freshman team came up against the same hardships as the varsity team The members of the team said the year was a learning experience Teaching the value of teamwork and being competitive has been my goal for this team Coach Llegey replied When asked who her strongest players were Liegey refused to single out any particular person One player doesn t win the game lt s a team effort The junior varsity team has also worked on teamwork and consls tancy We have the talent but we don t have it all together When one of the girls has a bad day her game is affected They need to learn to concentrate on the game and not what happened earlier that day Coach Ted Brlntz elaborated The scores aren t a good indication of the learning experience that these volleyball teams have had this season Copy and Layout by Regina Krumm Photos by Kelley Yokoe Alfredo IT' Mejia immw 1 I l A- K ,slr , to J .:Q,,,q:,..,. iflai 5 p Q5 emfET57Qgx ::i:'i HQEIH .,,. ftw GGIRLS' FRESHMAIY VOLLEYBALL: Front Row: Cindy Chung, Joanne Park, Fran- cis Sato.
