Basketball The Right Stuff Setting: The Mustang gym. Time: 5:30 p.m., last seconds of the game. Score: 46- 46. A hush fell upon the crowd as Dobson sent its player to the free throw line. The shot was made. The crowd went wild as the Lady Mustangs ended the season with a vic- tory. This dream game was desired more and more as the season dwindled. Marcos de Niza, Mountain View, and Tempe High Schools were the toughest opponents the team faced. At the seasons end. the 12 J.V. players proved that dedication, determina- tion. and teamwork were skills they pos- sessed. When asked what the main goal was. Coach Connie Mickelson replied. “Our main goal was to become more fundamen- tally sound both offensively and defensively and to make our opponents earn every re- bound and point.

Soccer Winging It Birds have been known to talk but can they tell their wings to take a few laps and then hit the showers? It's possi- ble if the varsity soccer coach is giving the orders. It was like a fresh start for the varsity team with a new coach and only five re- turning seniors. Team effort and a posi- tive attitude were stressed by Coach Bird who commented that their team motto was Let's get ‘unitized’.” The JV team was very strong-willed, expressing the desire to excel and win. Their slight weaknesses were easily made up for through teamwork and constant communication on the field during a game. Coach Kappas explained that one phrase the team always remembered was that A winner never quits and a quit- ter never wins. Design by Janice McConnell and Ashley Arnold. Photos by Gwen Gregory.
