THURSDAY, OCTOBERI. MB—THE ALTO HERALD OF ALTO,
Coaches Corner ... by co»ch c»roi Boyd
The Alto High School Lady Jacket
* Volleyball Team is having a very
* successful season. Our overall
record is !§-?; Htatriet leader
with a 4-0 record, first place cham-
pionships in both the Latexo and
Alto volleyball tournaments, and
the consolation winner in the Rusk
tournament.
Our team hosted a volleyball
tournament this past week. Par-
ticipating teams included:
Madisonville varsity and junior
varsity, Elkhart, Groveton, Ken-
nard, Hudson, Cold Springs and our
Lady Jackets. Proving their out-
standing performance ability
against strong competition, our
Lady Jackets won first place,
Madisonville second place, Cold
Springs third place. The consolation
winner, Elkhart.
Throughout the day, our girls
gave their energies to much more
- than just playing their scheduled
ball games. They helped plan the
tournament, shared the many
responsibilities for running a tour-
nament smoothly, and stayed late
after all others left for home to
clean up after the day’s activities
The Lady Jackets and I wish to
thank the following people for
helping to make our first volleyball
tournament possible and suc-
cessful: Supt John Cook AHS
Principal Steve Cooper, Jim Duty,
Principal, James Crammer, Coach
Lovelady, Coach Witt, Susie Jones,
Dianne Garrett, and all the girls
that helped with the concession
stand and admissions. Our extra
special thanks to coacn brown for
serving as tournament director;
and score keeper, and to Larry
Jenkins for his supervision running
the clock for time and score. Our
thanks to Jerry Todd of T’s
Trophies for helping us with the
nice trophies that were awarded to
the winners.
May I also add that it requires
many responsible adults that are
willing to give of their time and
talents so our young people have the
opportunity to participate in events
worthy of their time and effort
Alto is fortunate to have so many
talented and success-oriented
young people striving for excellen-
ce in all areas of our school and
township. Our children need our
support. They need each one of us to
be the example, and the positive
force that will help direct their life
toward success.
As parents, reality charges us
with the awesome responsibility of
our children’s future It makes no
difference what our social or
economical standing in the world
might be, as parents we must sup-
port our children and give them un-
selfish time. A child’s best teacher
is the parent at home. Real parent
love for a child includes eonsistant
guidance, a good morale example,
constructive discipline, and in-
troducing new experiences for the
child to grow into a positive produc-
tive person
While we were playing that last
iiigiiiy competitive match against
Madisonville, I could not help but
notice one of my player’s gran-
dfather sitting quietly in the stands,
directing his full attention to his
granddaughter's activities. This
was the last game, our last chance
to win the tournament we had
worked so hard preparing for, a
time when the possibility of failure
was the strongest, and little hope
for winning, I saw this man smile.
He displayed great admiration for
his granddaughter's unbelievable
effort and concern in a seemingly
hopeless situation. At this point
Madisonville only needed one more
point to win the whole tournament
and we were behind eight points.
Even above the roar of the crowd
his eyes seemed to be shouting,
‘‘That’s O.K., keep trying, just do
your best, That’s my girl!” This
man’s very presence in the gym
said it all, ‘‘She was his girl.”
All of our children need to have
the security of knowing that they
are appreciated, loved, and suppor-
ted in all their worthwhile efforts.
Successful children are the produc-
ts of parents, grandparents and
people who care about a whole lot
more than just winning the game
The Lady Jacket winning record
looks good, but those girls iook
great!
