Members of the JV and Varsity Girls’ Tennis Teams had to keep up the but strove to set a new WINNING TRADITION championship standard for others to follow. With two years of J.V. go- ing undefeated and Varsity losing only one match, the girls' tennis teams had a tough act to follow. Keeping the winning tradition alive was challenging but well planned. The planning began with the J.V. team. Coach Ad- ams took pride in the team, working the players extra hard in order to make for a stronger varsity. Adams also encouraged split practices. The top eight players played COME HEBE. Senior.

This gave all the members the opportunity to play and im- prove their game. The majority of the top ranked players were under- classmen who were groomed as J.V. players to lead the team to another city championship. This win would make it three con- secutive years for varsity, an accomplishment not yet achieved by any other Mesa school. To the members of the girls' tennis teams, keeping the tradition of winning wasn't the question. They wanted to go beyond these traditions with their goals of remaining undefeated and clinching their season with a State Championship title. Design by Kathy Pollard. Me- lissa Celaya.

' What would it be like to show up at school an hour and fif- teen minutes earlier than nor- mal, already hindering needed beauty rest? In order to be a member on Spiritline one would have to. The members practiced an hour and a half everyday and worked on cheers, chants and pyramids performed during halftimes at games. The line of 18 was chosen from a field of 60. They prac- ticed during the summer and went to a cheer camp in LET'S GO MUSTANGS! Members of tbe JV $p ritine get behind the junior varsity bosketbai team to hep them edge out Marcos de Nsa. It was the lost home game for the girls to cheer at during the season, Flagstaff. They also pre- pared routines for competi- tions throughout the year. From the 18 members, two captains were chosen, sen- iors Jennifer Penic and Yvonne Trujillo. They helped coordinate the dances and made up chants for the football and basketball sea- sons. The junior varsity team of eight members did much of the same thing as Spiritline. They organize cheers, chants and pyramids which they perform at the JV foot- ball and basketball games. The two captains, Cari Sedlak and Kelly Holland, did the organizing for such things. They also organized routines for competitions which they took first place in the Fiesta Bowl Competition, and received the Master Key Spirit award at UCA camp during the summer. It was rewarding when we took first place at Fiesta Bowl, and received the Mas- ter Key award at UCA camp, stated Kristy Green- way. According to Ms. Ar- menta I honestly feel that pride is the key to success and unity, and these girls have experienced the true meaning of ’Mustang Pride '. Design by Brod Treptow.
