. ;.- 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.

cm(% (joua (joitlt (kciuuj luvd uJofik ome people would C love to spend a day flat Vi on their backs catching up on a few Zs. Wrestlers, however, wouldn ' t want to spend even a moment in such a compromising posi- tion. Sometimes a compromis- ing position can mean the difference between winning or losing a match. However, Cougars were able to make their way out of such dilem- mas through determination and commitment, inspite of a shakey start. After several early falls, seven athletes made their marks at the CIF tournament, with seniors Sean Gallagher and Matt Luker advancing to the Mas- ters Meet, and Gallagher go- ing to state. The most important attri- bute is dedication to the sport, said senior Sean Gal- lagher. It was loyalty and hard work like Gallagher ' s that led the Cougars to a very suc- cessful season. They started off slowly, losing some key athletes to injuries, while others moved. They then suffered a disappointing loss to El Toro, but the following day, they recovered to cap- ture second in the Nogales tournament, topping 24 oth- er schools. Coach Joe Zeller conclud- ed by saying The main goal is for wrestlers to be the best individuals that are also com- mitted to the team. ARSITY WRESTLING VARSITY W 144 Varsity Wrestling '
