Just for Kicks, Try ... SOCCER What did it take to be on the boys varsity soccer team? It took knowledge, skill, discipline and most of all a great inspiration to win. All the players fulfilled each and every quality, which led to their success. The Mustangs were led by sen- ior Steve Bayha, who scored with two minutes left in the game against Marcos to put the Mus- tangs on top with a 1-0 win. Other outstanding players were Mike Lynn who led in assists and fresh- man Josh Arnold who was the team's leading goalie. Coach Lutz said, This year's team was one of the greatest bunch I've ever coached. There was a greater sense of unity and cooperation between the players than we've had in the past. As the JV soccer team closed their season with a 7-0 record, they scored 29 goals and held their opponents to only 5. Twenty-one players made up the JV team. Jackie Cvetich was the only female player. Her excel- lent passing skils, quickness and aggressiveness were an advan- tage. Along with Jackie, center forward Mike Lewis, right wing for- ward Troy Kerekes, center half- back Tyrone Allen, and sweeper Tom Payne also aided in the JV's winning season. Goalie Ho Nguy- gen had an excellent year as he held all opponents to only three goals. Hoping to finish first was just one of the goals both the coaches strived for in producing quality soccer players. Design by Debi Ferguson and Ta- mera Wagner. Photos by Tom Neumann and Steve Wilbur.

With Strength At the Plate Swinging the bat to warm-up, varsity baseball player Andy Barrett awaits hi: turn at the plate. In the new batting cage, senior co-cap tain Paul Swingle tosses the baseball k Billy Minnis at practice. Varsity Baseball Bats On A Promising Season Developing a winning attitude to last throughout the season was coach Scott Morgan's strate- gy for the varsity baseball team. Their eventual goals were to de- fend their B-league title and con- tinue on to the state Champion- ships. Of course, the team had to work extra hard in order to con- stantly progress. To help the team achieve their goals, Paul Swingle, Andy Barrett, and Mike Flores dis- played outstanding performances and leadership during the season. Although these players showed much responsibility, as Bily Minnis Preparing (or an intense afternoon of practice, Joe Gable slips on his hel- met in the impressive varsity dugout. pointed out, There was no one individual who carried the team. It was always a team effort. Playing baseball held many per- sonal advantages for senior play- ers, such as receiving a college education through a baseball scholarship.
