Freshmen attained their goal, going eight of nine, falling only to Elgin, the perennial victor in that bout. The blemish on an otherwise perfect record dropped the Chaps from the sole owner of the championship to co- champion status. The loss, however bitter, was somewhat offset by the win over Cameron. Coaches attributed the victories to defense, a fact that allowed the oppo- sition an average of only six points per game. Often the unit defense held the foe to less than 200 total yards. Ninth grade offense, also devastat- ing, baffled opposition with consistent execution of the veer offense. 1.

26 Nelson UIL Rules Bounce Volleyball to Fafff Netters Rearrange Qffense Structure 0-sm 9 .1 QQ 6 1' day f.. Q ff- e 0 ' 4 Soto Disappointed because they wor only eight games, the varsity's seven seniors and three juniors toiled their way through the season. Volleyball no longer conflictec with track, this year it clashed witt basketball since UIL rules switchec it from a December-February sport to a tall sport. Eight players experi- enced some type of difficulty coor- dinating the two sports. Another change occurred wher lvls. Patterson rearranged the team's offense structure from a 4 and 2 to a H5 and l. This mean' the team utilized a five spiker-one setter formation rather than foul spikers and two setters. - Karen Walton BACK ROW: Janet Sparks, Gigi Barnhart Becky Cox, Tamra Beasley, Suzette Hun- sucker.
