Coach Jarrad The Tei Spiker: Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho, it's off to League Title we go, said Coach Jarrad and the Ten Spikers. At the beginning of the season their goal was to be SJV Champions. We have to communicate, work together as a team, and want it in order to get it, commented Coach Jarrad. The Chiefs started out the season by taking a small bite of the poisoned apple as they struggled to survive the Cereal City Tournament. The life-giving kiss was a lot of support from the school, students, and parents. This brought the Ten Spikers a couple exciting victories, the SJV League Title and the District Title. And on to Regional we go, shouted Coach Jarrad and the Ten Spikers. But this time not only did the Chiefs bite the poisoned apple, but they also swallowed it and the life-giving kiss would not return until next year. The Ten Spikers were Seniors Stacie Schneider, Janet Higgins, Ji lie Higgins, Michelle Magill, Brer da Wagner, Heather Phelps, an Juniors Nicole Lucas, Stacy Arm strong, Nicole Hart, and Patty Ben nett. The Chiefs had three all-con ference players: Heather Phelps who led the team in kills and blocks; Michelle Magill, who led in points; and Nicole Lucas, who led the offense with assists. Nicole Lucas was also named MVP of the SJV League. ?,? Middle Left — Seniors Stacie Schneider and Julie Higgins try to intimidate the opponents.
