T A ONE MAN CRUISE- Senior Eric Kruse has the ball all to himself as he races across the field. he team had more time, hey could have pulled to- gether and done better, said Coach Ron Wilims about the boys ' Varsity soccer ' s disappointing sea- son. With Jeff Bigalow playing sweeper, and Buster Nietzke in the center- half position, the team had a fairly good chance of making it In the league, but unfortunately, they just occm itrnhh 1hoag c ieaioft weren ' t able to get the ball In the goal box. They had a good chance to make It, but they just couldn ' t get it together, added Coach Wilims. Although they lost to Dana Hills, Coach Wilims felt they outplayed them 100%, but they got two goals In past us. They ended the season with an 8-9-5 record. It was seldom when every player performed up to his potential at the same time. But when they finally did. It was too late. If we had time to play five more games, we could have probably won four out of the five games, Coach Wilims said. Although It was a talented team, something was missing and we just wouldn ' t click, observed junior Jeff Gross who ' ll be returning to next year ' s varsity team. Next year should be a good race, he added. Despite finishing with a losing re- cord. Coach Ron Wilims sounded optimistic about next year ' s team. Next season ' s players are younger, hopefully better, but for sure, they ' ll be ready for opening day! ■ A PERFECT KICK— Senior Jeff Bigalow fires a sure-shot. Although the team had good op- portunities to make goals, those chances were missed. THE AGONY OF DEFEAT — Senior Steve DeLaura walks off the field dejectedly after a loss.

. ;.- Fioili iopit ikm, Jl faM The JV season started out on the right foot, but they somehow got out of step during the season. One problem was with the coach, Vincas Dovydaitis. Junior Darrel Kemp said, He was nice and funny as a person, but as a coach, he had no control over the team so everybody just did his own thing. With the untogetherness factor dampening the team ' s performance, the team also felt that they lacked teamwork and that they didn ' t have enough motivation. We did well when we had the chance, but that chance was rare, said junior Brent Call. The season, however, wasn ' t wast- ed. They were victorious in their game against Dana Hills, dumping the Dolphins 3-2. Junior Jeff Under- wood noted, That was an awesome - BOYS fROSH SOPH SOCCER - Top row: Tin, McCo.mick, David Berman, Ben Schooley, Tomek M.kler, |ohn- tnc Bolger.

Everyone performed their hardest and we did great. We won! The frosh-soph team, on the other hand, had a more fruitful season. Equipped with a well rounded team of players, the team came out victo- rious, winning first place in the South Coast League with a final re- cord of 9-1-0. Considering it ' s his first year coaching boys ' soccer. Coach Rich- ard Victor did exceptionally well in coaching the team to the champion- ship. Altogether, we had a variety of players. Different players rotated in during the game and we had the kind of team that wasn ' t satisfied with just one goal. The more they scored, the more they wanted to get that ball in. And they were success- ful! concluded Coach Victor. A REVVING UP A POWERFUL KICK - Fresh- mjn Chuck Signj gets ready for a charged l ick. The frosh soph team succeeded kicking the ball in the goal.
