Even though their season lingered around the 500 mark before finishing at 17-20, this year's squad displayed much talent. Junior Melinda Bradley (right) hammered 217 kills, accumulated 429 assists and made the All-WBCC first team. Honorable Mention pick Becky Wilson (below) led the team with her 256 digs and 98 percent serve accuracy. Also, contributing much to the team this year was junior Angie Wilcox with 48 serve aces, junior Julie Butler with 26 solo blocks, and freshman Jeri Hastman with 27 blocking assists. The team will lose two veteran players next year, but coach Elaine Brown has high hopes that her younger players will quickly excel in their skills and fill the empty positions adequately. 126 Volleyball
