A Tiger at heart

Dream iobs don‘t come around
very often

So when foritier L K head vol-
leyball coach lrati l‘lory was con«
tacted by Louisiana State last
tiiotitli to fill its coachitig vacancy.
she was understandably enthusias—
tic.

After all. she had spetit the last
ftitir-and-a—halfyear‘s tellttig prospec—
tive recruits that she would only leave
Lexington under one condition.

The] SL iob had to be open.

Baton Rouge. where L lory had
shined as 'a prep star would always
be home. she told rec rtiits. :\
chance to return there would be

meant the I3 faces along the L'K
bench would never again look to
her for on—court guidance. They

Btit after all the emotions sub-
