That was the reason why the J.V. Girls' Soccer did so well. Due to the fact that the J .V. team will replace the current varsity team next year, there were very high expectations placed on the underclassmen.

Team members were very eager to go down on the field after school and practice their soccer skills. Led by team captains, Lara Kreps and Danielle Mercado, the team worked diligently on the drills given to them by their coach, Tricia McCarthy. McCarthy was not a regular coach who had a second job as a teacher at Diamond Bar. She played collegiate soccer for Cal Po- ly. According to Traci Anderson, Coach McCarthy knows how to work with the team and has a lot of spirit. Their spirit helped the team to join together and work with surprising effectiveness. If the team continues to perform as it did, then Diamond Bar should not have to worry about the success of the girl's soccer program in the future. 1, - Mwgwfxa 44, fi-111 atfH n,,2'f . , fy' ', T 1: 1. ,a f p4j,1,, .

High Hopes for Low Scores ith a solid showing last year, there were high hopes that the Golf Team would place higher in league, perhaps first. Last year the fledgling Golf Team placed a respec- table third place in the Sierra League. Head Coach Don Garrett said that the team definitely has the potential to win league, Considering that the Golf Team had only been in existence for two years they did remarkable well in carrying out the Brahma tradition of winning. At the beginning of the season Coach Garrett reported that his two top players, senior, Channing Burnett and sophomore, Joong Mo had a good chance of doing well in the CIF individual com- petition. He also said that he hopes the team will be able to repre- Contrary to popular belief, competitive golf is ex- tremely stressful. People have an image of the typical 'weekend golfer' and it isn't at all what high school golf is like,', insisted, senior, Dave Walby. sent the Sierra League in CIF. If they did make it they would be in for a tough time because there are no divisions in CIF competi- tion. This would mean that the team would be playing country club kids from schools like Beverly Hills. Garrett further explain- ed that while Diamond Bar had four matches a week, it was dif- ficult to catch up to teams whose players had been playing since they were very young. When asked about the responsibilities of coaching, Garrett said that It's touch and time consuming, but with the help of assis- tant coach Chuck Pratt, a Chapparal teacher, he got the job done. Coaching the team wasn't all hard work because the coaches played along with the team. Although coaches' scores didn't count for the match, there was a wager: dinner. STEADY AS A ROCK - Sophomore Eric Rodriquez prepares to putt. Eric also competed on Diamond Bar's wrestling team IN THE SWING OF THINGS - Senior Doug Saulsbury tees off at the Diamond Bar Country Club. The Country Club hosted most of Diamond Bar's Home matches. STRAIGHT AS AN ARROW - Alan Varvis, senior, watches as his putt approaches the hole. Alan played on the Golf Team since its inception. TIME TO PRAY - Senior Dave Walby prays that he birdies the hole. Dave was a leading scorer on the team. GolffSports 123
