Building Group Unity Members play as a team, not a bunch of players. Unity leads to C.I.F. play-offs. i Having participated in many games during the sea- son, the soccer team built a strong unity which brought the players together. We had team meetings during practice so that we could discuss any problems that we had and get them re- solved so that while playing in a game, we would play as a team, not a bunch of play- ers, stated Chuck Hopkins. We play to have fun, if we win, great, if we lose, that just means that we have to work on something harder than we were before, com- mented Dane Soholt. Prac- tices were long and tiring, but in the end, they helped us to go to the play-offs, commented Joe Fillippelli. The ultimate goal of any competitive team was to go to the play-offs. We prac- ticed hard because we knew that we had a chance at the play-offs, commented Jack Neil. The varsity team made it to the play-offs, but was defeated in the first game by El Centro. The game was close and we played good, but we just didn ' t get lucky, concluded Jeff Pene. If the team didn ' t play as a team they wouldn ' t have gotten as far as they did. Group uni- ty was the biggest part of the team, concluded Coach Hoyer. ■ RACING TO THE BALL, Scott La- Salle and Jeff Pene practice. Scott and Jeff balanced difficult academic classes with the soccer team. ■ CATCHING THE BALL BETWEEN HIS KNEES, Adrian Valdez was the goalie. Adrian participated in the soccer program for four years.

Temi Uidlj Togetherness and support comes with a new coach. Alan Smith coaches at Arlington for the first time. Trent Seckinger Lion ' s, let ' s go! was a common expression ineard near tine tennis courts on the days of the big matches. The team practiced two hours a day everyday of the week and kept up their men- tal awareness, stated soph- omore, Summer Johnson. Although this was the first year for Mr. Alan Smith to coach at Arlington, he felt that it was a good year for the girls. They tried hard and they were just great! exclaimed Coach Smith. The concentration and agressiveness of our team was the main factor in play- ing a good game, he added. Concentration showed in the girls ' expressions. The courts were very quiet dur- ing matches, unlike other sports such as football or swimming. Junior, Lisa Pear- son, felt that there didn ' t need to be a lot of cheering and such because, We had team unity and supported each other all the way. Sophomores, Julie Rinewalt and Arisia Rodri- guez, agreed, The varsity team was strong and the J.V. had a lot of potential, but everyone getting along together was what really helped. Of course, we had arguments among our- selves, like everyone else, but we made up, and the support was back! The tennis team had a dif- ferent way to determine their 1 players. Every Fri- day they had what was called a challenging match. Players interested in moving up the ladder, challenged another player up to three steps higher than them- selves. If the challenger won the match, they took the place of the looser and ev- eryone else moved down one step. Although the team had such a system to place players, Jeanette Tupper managed to keep her spot as 1 varsity player throughout the entire sea- son. I kept my title throughout the seasoti, be- cause when I played, I played hard. I practiced everyday of the week and on weekends. Mental tough- ness, senority and my love for tennis, kept me 1. confessed Jeanette Tupper. by Karen Madokoro ■ BALLS, BALLS, BALLS, Charlotte Harrison picks up tennis balls on the racquetball court.
