SETTING FOR AN EDGE Once again the lady wildcats vol- leyball team has shown what they are made of. Adjusting to a new head coach and finishing the season as well as they did wasn’t easy. Ending with conference record of (4-3) and an overall record of (15- 17) just goes to show what they can do. Head Coach Karen Tiede had this to say, “I feel the girls worked hard all year long, and there were several close matches that in the next few years they are going to have to learn to win. I thought their volleyball skills im- proved quite a bit over the year, and most people are going to have to be dedicated all year long if they want to continue improving.” The Wildcats Junior Varsity didn’t end with a winning season, but they did show promise of future success. Under new Coach Dawn Blue, the JV ended their season with an over all record (3-14). The three team captains came out with the most over-all awards. Leigh White received the Serving Award and Mental Attitude Award. Angie Collier received the Attack Award and Best Defensive Player Award. Vicky English and Leigh White shared the Setting Award.
