Yourh AncI ExperIence With a combination of both new and experienced players, the Diamond Bar girls soccer team proved that ex- perience is not the only factor needed to win a game. Although many players had an average of 6 years of experience playing for community and independent soccer leagues such as A.Y.S.O. and C.S.L., not all had the privilege of being on a high school team. However, many members did not feel this caused a gap in performance levels. As junior Linda Bundy commented, Even though some pla yers had 99 Our talent was really test- ed with crazy, fun, but tough workouts. -Linda Moore, sophomore more experience than others, we all had an equal amount of skill. The coaching was directed by coach Finn Eng- lyng and Annette Finnerty. Our talent was really tested with crazy, fun, but tough wor- kouts.

Debbie Wilson a sophomore fullback commented, Barbara is a really good player and she really led our team.

VARsixy SwiNqs For Success Although the season had just started the attitudes of the Diamond Bar Varsity Baseball team were high. They had al- ready started to execute the necessary funda- mentals needed for their league games, com- mented Coach Mike Wendt. This had proved true in their second game against San Dimas. DBMS came home with a winning score of 5 - 2. This brought spirits up even more as they aimed for an end to their preseason games with a 500 aver- age. But this would not be possible, according to Coach Wendt if it weren ' t for team work. The entire team contributed and every player executed his own role, mentioned Coach Wendt. The Varsity Baseball team mainly consisted of juniors, since no seniors attend the school, but they didn ' t let this fact get them down. The ball My many years in Little League helped me a lot this year. With our hard work I improved even more. -Bill Beeman- sophomore players were all pretty much familiar with each other from growing up together and from playing Little League together. This helped them play well with each other. They must continue to improve and grow together if they would be ready for Varsity competition, commented Coach Wendt. And working hard is exactly what they did, as they pushed themselves at practice and worked till they were ready to drop at games, all for the love every athlete had in winning. The team held a Pizza Raffle drawing to raise money for their equipment. This included selling tickets to fellow school mates and going door-to- door. They had many prizes lined up for the win- ners. Such prizes included free cuts, free car main- tinence, and also jewelry. The money each boy earned would be put towards his practice and game equipment such as hats, cleats, pants, and socks. The Baseball Fundraiser was a tool for the ball players to earn their practice and game equip- ment, not to make money, answered Coach Wendt. The raffle helped to take the expense of my equipment way down, commented Bill Beeman. With starters like Bill Beeman; 3rd base, Casey Brosnehan; catcher. Rich Gonzales; pitcher, and other members the Brahma Varsity Baseball should turn to victories. G er, ana 1 % t S it t A Varsity Baseball.
