CLIMBER VOLLEYBALL'S VARSITY girls of '07: In front from left are

son and Jessica Scovill. Back: Marissa Hill, Courtney White, Michelle
Christy and Briana McKinley. Not pictured is Jaci Roaf.
After Aurora:
Spike girls ready for AA
Long in the tooth and short in
the saddle?
One outta two ain't bad in
Climber Spikedom this week as
Shelton High School's rebuilding
spike girls look to find life AA, or
"After Aurora."
With only two seniors back
from the team that just missed the
postseason last year despite the
dominance of since-graduated six-
foot-two first-team all-leaguer Au-
rora Dike, this year's Climber con-
tigent hardly qualifies as tested,
much less long in the tooth.
Ah, but vertical challenge
they've got in abundance.
"Yeah, we don't have a lotta
height," says coach Steve Morgan,
the Climbers' long-time jayvee
mentor now in his second term
as head coach. He laughs all the
same. "But we do have a lot of nat-
ural athleticism."
HIS RETURNING mainstays
from a year ago, says Morgan, in-
clude seniors Carissa Krumpols
and Marissa Hill and junior Annie
Johnson.
"Carissa's my #1 setter," he
says, "and Marissa's gonna hit
some opposite and middle; she'll
probably come off the spot. And
Annie was a starter for me last
year, as a sophomore."
Back as well, says Coach, though
they played sparingly with the
varsity last fall, are juniors Jes-
sica Janda and Briana McKinley.
And up from jayvee duty a year
ago are classmates Jessica Scovill,
Courtney White and Jaci Roar.
"And then we have a sopho-
more, Michelle Davis, and a fresh-
man, Michelle Christy."
Tallest of the bunch, at maybe
5-10 or so, are Hill and White
probably, adds Coach. "That's the
story of my team, is they're pretty
small," he says.
AND HOW SERIOUS a prob-
lem is it? In high school the game
'We tend to get
maybe a little
too goofy..:
is really all about return of service,
isn't it?
"Absolutely," says Morgan.
'Teah. And that's what I'm really
trying to concentrate on this year,
is defense - is not letting the ball
hit the ground. And that's one of
the keys of the game, is not letting
the ball hit the ground.
"You don't have to pound it like
other teams, but you have to fight
it out."
And wait for your opponent to
make a mistake?
"Yeah," says Coach. "Volleyball
is a game of mistakes. And who-
ever makes less mistakes wins. You
don't wanna give 'em free points
by missing serves or not being
in the right spot defensively.
And I've really been harping on
that: Defense will win.
"If we're going to be successful
we have to play defense. And if we
don't play defense we're going to
get beat by the taller teams.
"STRICTLY TALENTWISE,
we're not at the top of the league.
You know, we're kind of rebuild-
ing. But we have girls that are
gritty and gutty. And, as you saw,
they hustle and are aggressive -
and they're natural athletes. But
they're not naturally volleyball
players. And so we're working on that.
"So, I think we'll be okay if
we can play defense and get that
mindset that if nothing hits the
ground we'll be okay. Then our hits
will come around. Because we hit
well enough to score, but we don't
have a six-one girl or anything like
that that's gonna pound the ball
like Aurora did last year."
He laughs ruefully. "When she
hit the ball," he says, "- and it was
a good set - the point was over."
MORGAN'S COACHING staff
this fall includes recently retired
longtime varsity mentor Steve
Beck, back as jayvee coach after
helping out his 01d friend in that
capacity last year, and taking the
C-team reins this season is former
Climber all-leaguer and ex colle-
giate basketball star Liz (deWaal-
Malefyt) Canright.
"I'm so glad to have her in the
program," says Morgan. "She's a
great influence for the girls - as a
