s trong start marks cross-country team Six wins and one loss meant a successful season for the cross country runners, who, they said, ran hard and long to achieve their goals. I felt that the season was very successful, Richard Couch, a first runner, explained. The races were very hard, hut we all had fun. The Most Valuable Runner was Dwayne Walker. Dwayne earned this, because he would never quit, Ms. Kathy Ross, the coach, explained, and we could always count on him to show up for a race. According to Ross, Walker ran very aggre.ssively against his oppo- nents, which earned him two medals a t invitational meets. One was given to him at Perris; the other was award- ed to him by Yucaipa High School. I feel great to be the Most Valu- able Runner, Walker said. Our sea- son had its ups and downs. Miguel Serratos usually placed first among Canyon Springs runners. I thought the season went great, he said. It was a terrific experience. I remember when we went to Twin Pines to run a race, Mike Col- well said. Mr. Ed Loman, the assis- tant coach, was with us, and he told Miguel that if he broke i8 minutes, he would buy Miguel a coke. Miguel broke their track record, broke his own record, and got a coke. In fact, Mr. Loman ended up buying Miguel a six-pac. Ross and Loman were very proud of their athletes. I felt the season was wonderful, Loman said. Ross, a first year coach, said, Our season went great for a first-year season. We had many strong individuals, and everybody im- proved. For my first team, I really enjoyed it. ••CT- CROSS-COUNTRY, FRONT ROW: Darren I ,tz gerald, Richard Cou h, Dw.iyne M Don.ild, BACK ROW: ( ' o.uh Ed Lom.in, Miguol Sen W.ilkcr, Co.uh Kjlhy Ross.

G reat beginning leads to disappointment According to Ms. Kathy Ross, a teacher from Moreno Elemen- tary School and the team coach, the jV girls basketball team was out to learn, to win and to enjoy its season. The team ' s success began with its first game. Even though it was a scrimmage game, guard Kadette Patzer said, we played as though it was a cham- pionship game. After holding their opponent scoreless in the first half, the Cougars continued to dominate through the second. The team finished with a 28- I victory. ■ ' This was what gave us spirit, said Cougar center Becky Darby. It really made us feel that we could beat about anyone. After winning three of their first four encounters, the Cougars began to learn otherwise. The team lost six of its next seven games. The leading scorer for the season was Darby, who averaged 16 points per game. The leading rebounder was Nancy Nunez, who averaged ten re- bounds a game. I think that our practices helped us win most of our games, said Patzer. For our first year, I think that we really did well. After all, we had never played together before.
