WUHS is proud to bring you Throwback Thursday.
SHAZAM! The Girls Varsity Volleyball Team finally earned the school a new banner this year. At the top reads Sectional CHAMPS. That’s right; for the first time in WUHS history the girls pulled it together and took the 1994-1995 Sectional Championship. Although there were many injuries on the team, Coach Hazelbaker and the fans kept the team alive? The cheers rang out at Webster High School as Junior Jessica McClanahan set Senior, Julie Trimble up for the game winning Spike. “KA-POW”, and the rest is history. The team’s record stood at 12-8. Senior Julie Trimble, Mandy Hanson, and Nathania Shelton made the Southern Hills League All Star Team, however only Julie and Mandy could attend the game, and what a game it was! Junior, Jess McClanahan also made Southern Hills League. Special recognition goes out to Julie Trimble, not only did she make all Southern Hills League but she is the first girl in WUHS history to be honored by making District All-Star Team.
