The Few And The Proud Tl-IE WRESTLERS Thanks to the 1986-87 wres- tling team and the coaches, wres- tling is a sport to be proud of. Requiring speed, agility, skill and determination, wrestling is de- manding both mentally and phys- ically. Monday through Friday the team refined their skill in vigorous workouts ending at 5 o'clock. However, strenuous they are, it gave these young wrestlers the cutting edge in competition. Each person wrestled for three two-minute periods. This made up a match. The winner was deter- mined by points for such maneu- vers as escaping a pin by the oppo- nent, putting the opponent on his back, a reversal, and pinning someone down. The varsity team, made up of 15 boys, showed a lot of talent. I think we had a lot of experienced and consistent wrestlers on our team that performed well through- out the season, stated Skip Con- ners, a varsity team member, It's hard but it pays in the end! Varsity Wrestling: Front Row: Mario Siguenza, John U, Willie Garcia, Jeff Shinozaki. Middle Row: Brian Tauchi, Skip Connors, Paul Cardinale, Trebor Myers. Back Row: Coach Ernie Holsop- ple, Ron Boehm, Dave Hechim, Coach Derek Brewer. Gary Leonard, Young Jim Choi, Coach Tom Kennedy. 58 f VARSITY WRESTLING

Girls JV Soccer Goes For The Gold FOOTLOOSE With feet flying, bodies moving, and hearts pounding, the girl's JV soccer team scored goal after goal. The combination of old and new talent on the team proved to be a definite strong point, as both offense and defense illustrated skill and technique on the field. But success didnit come without a struggle. Grueling practices, begin- ning with running, then progress- ing into drills, and finally finishing with a scrimage and more running, were the key factors in developing the team's skills. Extremely competitive tryouts added to the excitement of the season. For two weeks the players strode onto the field to strut their stuff. COACH JOANNE KEIFUS stated, Hlt was difficult to make decisions when all of the girls showed so much talent. When the final cuts were made, the re- maining girls received their uni- forms and began the practice sea- son the very next week. The team had an impressive season, with all of the members contributing to the team's success. Skilled players, tough practices, and fancy footwork was the team's winning combination.
