Though many of the volleyball games were played with few fans, there always were some family members and some varsity football players in the . stands to back the teams up from the opening game through post-season play. FANS Great guys, Iremember last yearls crowd of only a few parents. The senior guys this year were great; they attended all of our home games and as many out'ofetown ones as they could. Out-ofvtown games are always tough, but when a few guys show up, the entire team spirit was lifted. It really meant a lot to the whole team to have the sup! port of dedicated fans. Thanks for your support. Paula Shaffer, junior Net Games FRESHMAN: 0-3011: Rowl Robin Rigg, Mgr., Shannon Lind, Sarah Dale, Kathie Stem. Shay Hoffman, Mgr. ISecond Rowl Shawna Sieck, Melissa Andrus.
