Laticia Jolly: Serious about her game
Tahia McVay
Banner Sports Editor
When you see Laticia Jolly on
the court you know she’s not just
playing to play; she’s playing to
win.
A junior majoring in biology,
Jolly has taken on a leadership role
for the ’95 volleyball season.
“She’s more aggressive than [she
was] freshman year,” said head
Volleyball Coach Joyce Spruill.
“Her leadership skills have
come to U)e forefront.”
Jolly has had to be a role mode!
for the 12 new fresh women on tlie
team this year.
“I try to keep a positive atti
tude and I tell the freshwomen to
always do their best and play 100
percent because it doesn’t matter
if we win or lose as long as we
play our best,” Jolly said.
She said she was upset tliat
only three players returned.
“I feel disappointed the other
girls didn’t come back but we had
to make the best with what we
had,” Jolly said.
Though Jolly is the team leader,
she said that sometimes she didn't
want to play the game anymore.
“Sometimes I want to quit but
I owe it to coach and the other
players to stay on the team.”
Jolly has set a major goal for
herself this season.
“I want to be team oriented and
be a better player.”
Each day women are beaten to death by their husbands or boyfriends. Just as frightening,
each day neighbors just like us make excuses for not getting involved. For information about how
