Olson, although somewhat disappointed by the girls' 6-11 record, was proud of their accomplishments during the season. Senior Penny Jacobsen had an impressive 97 percent efficiency in setting, and gained All-East Division Conference honors in two areas: ace serves and sets for ace spikes. She was also honorable mention All-State. Kathy Staehr tied for sixth in ace serves in the division. Shari Johnson was cited by Olson as being the most improved player, while Sue Kirkpatrick, Brenda Burnham and Robin Staehr were considered outstanding all-around players on 56 - Volleyball .sw as defense and at the net. A good building year was how junior varsity coach Jacque Kidder summed up her squad. Mentioning the girls' 1-8 record, Kidder said, It was hard to lose that much, but we gained a lot in character. Towards the end of the season some of the girls suited up with the varsity. First-year coach Kidder said she really enjoyed coaching the girls. According to coach Deb Fishback, the freshmen were very talented and all were outstanding players. The girls showed a lot of potential which could be developed over the next few years, she said. f'The girls had a great attitude and got along well as a team, leading to a successful season in all respects? by Christopher Knorr , KN
