SINGI G I THE RAIN Boys JV Soccer Conquers Obstacles It was one of those cold, wet and rainy days. The ground was muddy, and to go outside without a jacket was suicidal. Would you be prepared to face the cold out- side in nothing more than a T-shirt and shorts? This was one consideration that the Junior Varsity soccer players were prepared to disregard. Fac- ing other obstacles besides weath- er, the boys determination crushed any force keeping them from playing. Having started off with a good season, the boys made exceptional progress, losing few games. The team had a strong defense, the one focal point of the year. This strength was accomplished Running in lines is one of the many drills the players participate in. with vigorous practices and scri- mages. Soccer is a lot of fun this year, commented Scott McGla- shin, we,re having fun and doing really well. And who wouldn't be? Soccer in the mud is supposed to be a challenge!

Get On The Ball! GIRLS SOCCER PLAYERS GET A KICK OUT OF WINTER While most of us are bundled up, huddled for warmth during the winter months, the dedicated members of the Girls Varsity Soc- cer team, remained outdoors, braving the cold to practice and play games after school. However, their determination payed off as the 1986-87 season proved to be one of the best. Winning games only comes from hard work, and the girls cer- tainly did just that. Led by SHIR- LEY CONNERS, team members practiced every day. First they worked on calisthenics, and stretching, moving on to running, and finally practicing different plays.

This unity also boosted their confidence, which in return, helped to achieve victories. Clearly because of the Varsity having strong defense and offense, they were able to beat the fierce competition from the other team- mates in the PAL. However, de- spite outstanding results, the prac- tices and games weren't always pressured and serious, as the girls were out there to have fun along with playing their best! , . , i, .ff M 1 in .Q.,,wgpV' ML
