eamwork Brings Success and Fun The Girls' Varsity Soccer team started the season soundly defeating Rowland, winning 9-0. And even though the girls worked very hard all season long, they never stopped hav- ing fun, proving that havin fun and winning could go hand in Band. Ac- cording to junior Lisa Marquis, Even though the coach worked us a lot, we didn't mind because all of us made it fun at the same time. The Brahmas racticed everyday after school and oflfen had to give up a lot of their other activities. On some holidays they had to come to school and practice for two or three hours. As senior Naureen Ansari said, I can remember a lot of times when I've had something better to do than come to school to ractice, but we've all got to put in theljioursf' Teamwork, according to coach Iohn 552' Hall, is the most important aspect' of soccer, so they really stress the team gettin along.
