Description:	Winning takes time;Novices gain experienceA young Panther girlsvolleyball team struggled to improve and build for the future.At times we played almost aswell as any team I have evercoached. Perhaps our biggestproblem was that we could notmaintain our intensity and playwith consistency, said GeorgiaTidd, varsity coach.Problems experienced during the season could be, forthe most part, attibuted to theteams inexperience. Only twoof the five returning seniorswere varsity letter winners. ThePanthers finished the seasonwith a 5-20 record.This years seniors workedhard to teach younger playersthe fundamentals and finerpoints of the game. They willreturn as spectators to enjoy thefruits of their efforts, saidTidd.Seniors Rhea Deckard, LoriLitten, Cara Conley, DebbieOclander and StephanieWalker were praised for theirleadership and effort in theBHS North sectional game.They tried to pull the teamtogether for a shot at the titlebut it was not to be.
