Soccer Sees Successful Season SCOREBOARD CHUGIAK WIl Win WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN .- . OPPONENT - LOSS Service LOSS West LOSS East LOSS Bartlett LOSS Dimond LOSS Service • LO S West sMSS Dimond Tryouts for the 1985 Varsity Soccer Team were held April 19th. Twenty boys were picked for the team; nine of them were returning lettermen. Three of the lettermen were returning for their fourth year: Eddie Blahous, Hank Haertel, and Donnie Richardson. All of the games were held on the turf at Mulcahy Soccer Stadium. The boys and girls teams alternated playing times of 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. According to Co-Coach Larry Henry, the high quality of capable senior leadership guided the team to an excellent record during the regular season. Our goal was to remain undefeated during the season, and then to take possession of the Region IV Championships for the third consecutive year, commented Coach Henry. Ed Blahous Sr. directed most of the passing and offensive drills during practice. One highpoint of the season was the team ' s victory over West High School. The boys combined hghtening speed with accurate passing to roll over West with a score of 1-0. Goal tending for Chugiak was Senior Erik Stearns, who kept West scoreless. •■;- -- 1 : f m Top Interfenng in Dimond ' s offensive play.

The boys JV soccer team played well in 1985, with solid fundamental technique and good soccer knowledge. They outscored their opponents 26 to 4. We play exciting, win- ning soccer, said Coach Daugherty, beaming with pride. There were 22 freshmen, 6 sophomores, and 2 juniors on the team, so he anticipated a strong team in the next few years as well. The boys JV soccer team very much illustrated the con- cept of a team. Everyone played in every game, which meant that everyone (all 32 players) contributed to the winning of those games. Successes, triumphs, accomplish- ments belonged to all — losses belonged to all. But there weren ' t many losses. In fact, a few extra games were played because there were so many kids. You know how some coaches are — they play to win, letting the best 11 kids play all the time — I didn ' t do that, and we ' re still winning, stated Coach Daugherty. We had fun. It should be exciting to watch boys JV soccer in the next three years, as they continue in a winning tradition. i j! Illlli m r r-- ,.
