Varsity Volleyball
For years the sport of girl’s volleyball at W-H has
been ridiculed, although - unbeknowest to many -
that team won the state championship not so long
ago. Fiowever, when the members who comprised
that award-winning team graduated, the program
had to be rebuilt from the roots.
Despite its present reputation as a joke team, the
serious dedication of its members becomes obvious
with the fact that the starting roster has remained
virtually unchanged for the last three years. Two
years ago the arrival of Mr. Freeman, who was accustomed
to coaching champion-caliber soccer
teams, brought the final competitive spirit to the
girls. His eagerness to improve the team produced in
the girls a professional willingness to work late Monday
through Friday and during vacations in order to
overcome the handicap of regular practice periods
shortened by the necessity of driving to and from
the Lower School ,
Next year, many young and exciting players will
arise from the JV ranks to replace five graduating
seniors. Although the volleyball program needs to
develop a greater and a more coherent team, this
season proved that the girls possess the potential to
bring the state championship back to W-H soon.
