GOm PDR Tf E GRAND SLAM The return of Crisucci and first year coach, Laudermilk, represent challenge, experience, and a love for the sport. I ' ve played girls ' softball for six years. I ' ve had three years of hardball and three years of softball. I feel that Softball is more competitive than hardball, and I really enjoy it. explained Vicki Scully. I was on the varsity team last year, and it was a real challenge for me. Jawanna Jones continued, We usually had practices Mondays through Fridays from 3:00 to 4:00, and that was even before the season started. But it was good ex- ercise. This schedule was a chal- lenging one for the girls that were on the softball team this year. Sandi Giles stated, It was fairly easy for me to keep up with my grades and be on the team. I just had to make sure that I finished all of my homework and that I was caught up in all of my classes. To remain on the softball team, you had to achieve a grade point average of 2.0. To some girls on the team, this was a difficult task. In order to keep up in school and remain on the team, girls would put in extra time to study for school. I decided to try out for the softball team because I thought it would be a good experience for me. Then to- wards the end of the year, I definitely made plans to try out again for next year. re- plied Carrie Humphreys. Another player, Christina Pence, said she ' s been inter- ested in softball for a long time. I love softball, and be- ing on the team at Arlington really makes me feel good. Coach Laudermilk is a great coach. by Stephanie Gordon ■ STRIVING FOR AN EXCELLENT THROW, Marrisa Kats throws the ball to one of her teammates. Be- fore practices and games, girls would warm up their throwing arm so they wouldn ' t injure themselves. ■ PRACTICING UP ON HER SWING- ING RANGE, Susanne Campbell steps up to bat. Practices were held every day after school to perfect softball techniques. SOFTBALL 99

AccoMphlusd S motti Faithful fans and close games were common between two girls teams. Individual achieve- ments are highlight. There was four seconds left, the score was tied, the ball was in our hands. The girls junior varsity basketball team fouls an opponent. This gave Ramona the ball in their own territory. When the ball was thrown back into play, the clock didn ' t start. This was bad for Ra- mona because they scored the winning point. But the coaches decided to play overtime so that the game could be considered fair. Even after overtime, the game was decided by one shot. Arlington ' s junior varsi- ty won by one free-throw. This game was intense! I had a lot of fun and enjoyed it, concludes Ella Larache. Similar close quarters and games were experienced by the girl ' s soccer team. This girl ' s team was relatively new at Arlington. This the third year and the varsity was 6-6, which was the best record we ' ve done so far, stated Sheri Backstrom. After emotional games, these girl ' s team discussed their tactics and made plans for their next games. As var- sity basketball player, Su- zanne Campball, comment- ed, Sometimes I felt lucky to get a turnover, but I know that I was in the right place at the right time! Another factor the teams had in common were their faithful fans; both parents and students. During the games, the fans helped push their athletic ability to win. There were a lot of people who came and watched us play. Ann Johnson ' s parent came to every game! ex- claimed Kim Fritts. Although the teams did not have exceptional sea- sons, they strived for individ- ual achievements. Even though we didn ' t win, have a winning season, we had one of great accomplishments, concluded Danette Affaro. I ' m just glad we had some- thing to be proud of, sum- marized Tanya Nelson. by Dustin Fitch ■ TEAMMATES, Katie Allotta, Mi- chelle Mendolia. and LoraLee Hoff are varsity soccer players. Mem- bers of the soccer team were not only team mates, but friends also. GIRLS SOCCER BASKETBAL v
