Volleyball champs
For many members of the Cupertino Middle School seventh grade girls volleyball team, the 2000 season marked their first year of competitive volleyball.
But the Cupertino girls didn't let a little think like inexperience stand in their way. They simply went out and won themselves a league championship.
Cupertino backed up a 9-1 regular season with a couple of playoff victories to take the championship in the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League.
Cupertino turned back Miller in the league semifinals, then handled Blach 15-5, 15-1, 15-7 in the finals to clinch the league championship.
Members of the championship team included Robin Bailey, Julie Nakamoto, Christina Fukumoto, Erica Harris, Shannon McFadzean, Madeleine Baldwin, Janice Tram, Margaret Menasce, Amber Fabella, Abi Keck, Jessica Cha and Helen Ashton.
Lillian Hom was the squad's head coach and Annette Cardosi was her assistant.
