VARSITY GETS FIRST TASTE OF GIF; JV SHARES FIRST WITH POLY Some of the strong points of the varsity team, according to Coach James Laudermilk were, ...being able to rebound, shoot from outside the jumper, and bring the ball up the court. He also felt that the team had a great sense of togetherness and that the team members could relate to each other and therefore play more organized ball. Assistant Varsity Coach Rosemarie Fedenuik explained that the team had more maturity and more returning players than teams in the past. She continued, ...the defense was very aggressive and wouldn ' t let the opponents score. These factors helped shape Arlington ' s best girls ' varsity team ever, with a 10-4 league record and a 14-8 season record. When the season ended, the Lions were in third place in the league. This finish gave the girls ' varsity their first berth in the CIF Playoffs. Four of the eleven team members were picked as All-League players: Kim Langston, first- string; Susan McHale, second-string; Lynda Harris and Maria Otjen, honorable mentions. Varsity Top row: Sandy Rogers, Lynda Harris, Kim Langston, Maria Otjen, and Susan McHale. Bottom row: Gina Rodriguez, Carie Quintana, Jennifer Haase, and Virginia Schulte. Junior Varsity Top row; Aimee Myers, Debbie Canterbury, Nancy Brown, Shelley Anderson, Roni Beeson, Magie Lacambra, and Coach Rosemarie Fedenuik. Bottom row: Lorie Lewis, Kari Gosney, Kitt Langston, Kasey Bedford, Pita Lopez, and Cecelia Hernandez. 159

They are a lot stronger than I thought they were..., was a comment that Coach Rosemarie Fedenuik made about her junior varsity team. No team can out run us; they don ' t just wait for something to happen, they make it happen, she added. The team hustled throughout all the season games, running very effective offensive plays. At the end of the season, the team shared first place in the league with Riverside Poly; this proved that all of their hustling paid off. Team members always made sure to say good job or nice try after every shot; this helped keep team spirit high. The team never complained, even when the officials were late to a couple of games; they were just ready to play. They even had time for a laugh or two. For instance, Lorie Lewis got her braces caught on her jersey and Roni Beeson took a shot at the opponent ' s basket, but fortunately missed.

SOCCER PROGRESSES; ATTAINS GOALS I believe that if the boys are willing to dress out and be on the field every day, then they deserve to play, said Coach Reggie Kirk. For further encouragement, the new soccer coach managed to play twenty-seven players in one soccer game. According to varsity player Steve Ferris, Working together as a team was a new goal, along with improving our skills. They pursued their goals through eight hours of prac- tice a week, plus two to three games a week. Their progress was evident in an exciting match against Col ton, one of Arlington ' s toughest competitors. The JV won 1-0 with a last-second goal by Tim Maloncon; the Var- sity crushed the Yellowjackets 5-1. The varsity team turned in their best season ever with an overall record of 7-1-9. JV finished the year with a record of 9 to 7. 160
