Qride in Excellence The IV Girls' Soccer team set out with a goal in mind, to place in the top three in the Sierra League. And with a new coach and a brand new team entering a new league, things were go- ing to be harder, according to. The IV girls had a lot more games than expected. They were invited to play in the Montclair tournament in which they took third place. For a new team and a new coach, I believe we're doing very well, said freshman Karen Iohnson. Our team's strong point is that we work together as a unit, said coach Tricia McCarthy. The girls didn't have much time to practice. As soon as they had tryouts, they chose the girls that qualified for the team. The girls had less than two weeks before their first game. The girls did fairly well in their pre season games. According to McCarthy the won their first game against Bisffop Amat. Tracy Anderson, freshman said, I Q 1410 REM was surprised we won our first gameg we had so very little time to practice. The girls had very little time to themselves during Christmas vacation with the Montclair tour- nament and long, hard practices everyday. The girls won all of their games duringlthe tournament ex- cept one, leaving t em in third place. Sophomore Roxanne Caplinger said, The tournament was fun, and I thought we could have done a lot bet- ter, exce t the other teams looked as if they hadpbeen playing for a very long time. I stress team work and that concept helped all the girls ossess a wealth of talent and they really love the game, said McCarthy. Our assistant coach Michelle Padilla was also a big hel to us when we needed her, she was tgiere for us, freshman Stacy Mendez. The IV girls were taught a lot by Mc- Carthy and Padilla. One advantage that they were taught was an offsiders tra , which few, if any other IV teams in fhe league had. f'We have a lot of fun and we win in the process, McCarthy concluded. S? OUT IN FRONT - of everyone else is freshman Pam Darrow. Darrow played sweeper on the defensive team 110 Sports!IV Girls' Soccer

xperience Leads to Success The Varsity Boys' Basketball team entered the Sierra League and 4-A Divison with four three-year lettermen, Pat Mclvlann, Kreighton Strass, Bill Miller, and Brian Hendrick. With the experience and the height the team disproved doubts people may have had about them going up against the big boys. Before starting any king of league or tournament play, the basketball team had six weeks of practice during the summer. The practices were two hours long, dealing with the fundamentals. To end summer play, the team finished se- cond to Long Beach Milkin in a sixteen team tournament held at Kennedy. During the fall, the boys practiced for one hour, ran after school, and condi- tioned in the weight room. Regular season practices began during mid-nite madness on November 10. Mid-nite madness was a practice open to the fans. It was a way to get people spirited for the basketball season.

Brian Hendrick and Pat McMann were named All-Tournament for the three tournaments. Mike Schumacher was All-Tournament at San Dimas and Brian Hendrick was Most Valuable Player at San Dimas. Pat McMann and Brian Hendrick were sought after by recruits all through the season due to being leading scorers and rebounders. Both players were recruited by Divison I colleges. Hendrick still having one more year of high school basketball. One of the biggest reasons why we have such a good team is because we refuse to give up, said senior, Pat Mclvlann. The Boys' Varsity Basketball team opened league play against Los Altos, then Rowland. They came out vic- torious in both games and showed that they would be the team to beat. Their strength and success continued throughout the season. The team ended with an impressive 25-4 record. S
