F rosh have fun in a Vreat winning season fc ' I ' he Cougars ' season went JL exceptionally well, Mr. Jack Cassette, the freshman football coach, said. We had a great winning season and everybody improved. All we did was just have fun. The Cougars lost their very first game, but they won their second with a shutout against Bloomington. The team went on to finish the season with a 5-4 won-Iost record. They were all good, Cassette said, but, unfortunately, only one could be named Most Valuable Player. Wayne Collins was given that honor. The Most Valuable Running Back was Mike Christensen. He ran for 265 yards in 33 rushes. We slacked off more than a cou- ple of times in a couple of games, Christian explained. The Most Valuable Lineman was Manny Hernandez. The Most Im- proved Player was Victor Cruz, and the Coach ' s Award was given to Jo- seph Aliviliar. He ran 1 30 yards in 30 rushes. I feel that we could have won a couple more football games, and that would have really improved our sea- son, Cassette said. Our biggest im- provement was in our offense. It was more complicated and took longer to coordinate than the defense. Thanks to our defense, which was more than an average freshman defense, we were able to stop teams from scoring. «V ,f ' 35f 8?,L ., 2 FROSH FOOTBALL, FRONT ROW; Gerald Lo- vclt.

L ate start makes it tough for new team The first girls ' volleyball team in the history of Canyon Springs finished its season with a less than historic record: five wins and 13 losses. Mrs. Sharon Walsh, the team ' s coach, was in her fifth year of coach- ing volleyball. Her previous exper- ience had been in Midland, Michi- gan, from which she had moved in August, 1986, to teach and coach at Canyon Springs. They tried their best, Walsh said, but it was hard. I wish I could have moved here earlier, so we could have practiced more. Varsity teams start practice during the summer. We needed more time for prac- tice, Wendy Hilbert agreed. Once the season began, the games came too fast, just one after another. The figures at season ' s end weren ' t too reassuring. The team had started and ended its season with two-match losing streaks, losing each time in two straight games. The team ' s five wins had been scattered throughout the volleyball season. I was very discouraged with our record, Nicole Ladson, a first-year player, said. We were sort of unorga- nized. Any season can be better in a first-year school like this, Coach Walsh explained. It ' s very hard to start a new year without being in a league. The Most Valuable Player award, Walsh said, was given to a girl whose fundamentals were superbly executed and whose aggressiveness was excel- lent. She was also a great sport. The girl was Yaritza Morales. VOLLEYBALL, FRONT ROW: Sm- Uoughlon. N, Coa.h W.lil . U iu A ostj. T.flanv TihIh-, Jcnmlc-r Jol n- colc Ljdson. MKhcllc S.,m,.
