Freshmen Larissa Johnson, Tara Sim- mons, and Kristen Curtis encourage the freshmen wrestlers by chanting Reversal . G G ositive Attitude is row, contributed to their the way! Super effort is the play! This is one of 18 different chants the Wrestling Spiritline uses when cheering on the wrestlers at matches and tournaments throughout the year. Wrestlerettes, previously a club, became an actual sport this year. This change meant an increasing need of funds for uniforms. The problem of funds is overcome with car washes and candy sales. Varsity spiritline has three outfits:'a shorts outfit, the formal skirt uniform and a sweatsuit. This helped during tournaments. Having a mascot all their own for only the second year in a efforts to motivate the crowds. The greatest highlight, of the season according to Rosie Martinez, junior, was the Las Vegas Wrestling Tournament held December 18-20. Unlike the other it gives us a chance to go out of state. explains Barbara Gonzales. Throughout the year the Freshman, Junior Varsity, and Varsity lines work together when performing: however only Varsity enjoys the privilege of attending tournaments. Another activity to promote unity throughout the season, is having secret pals and , providing them with notes and gifts to lift them up and keep them at their best at all times.

4 N9 ell it's spring, it's getting hotter, and tans are getting darker. What's the first spring sport you think of? Baseball of course. Varsity baseball, once again under the direction of P.E. teacher Mike Cornish, be- ginning the season quite high in the pre- season rankings, set out to improve their record. During the past four years, the Varsity team has had a 15-win record. Cornish's plans at the beginning of the season were to better that record by five. Twenty wins. Cornish also wants the team to be a team to reckon with in the playoffs. Returning players include Sigurd Proud- fit, catcher, Gary McCarthy, first base, Matt Witkowski, shortstop, Clay Klavitter, third base, Jason Hammond center field, Brent Smith, right field, and pitchers Andy Mcll- veen and Mark Finney. The team also has some good players that have risen from the freshmen and junior varsity teams. Cornish has plans for the playoffs, this year, and in future years. Before the season opener, Cornish expected Shadow Moun- tain to be the team's toughest opponent in conference play, because of their strong program. Cornish believes the team is able to hit the ball well and defensively, the team is better than average. He believes that these traits, along with the good attitudes of the players will make the Skyhawks the team to beat. Losing quite a few seniors last year, the team needed to redistribute it's players. Without Rob Ferguson and Nick Portnova, last season's star pitchers, the team was in need of pitchers. Andy Mcllveen and Mark Finney were happy to oblige. With such a strong program, the Sky- hawks will be the team to beat in future seasons. 1 P Varsity Baseball 4 -L L p g Sehedufe i 31 4188 SAHUARO HOME 4116188 SHADOW MOUNTAIN HOME 3110188 APOLLO HOME 4119188 THUNDERBIRD AWAY 3115188 MOON VALLEY AWAY 4121188 BROPHY HOME 3116188 ST.
