fr Soccer Soccer Scores Successful Season Once again DC soccer teams were a force to be reckoned with. The varsity team concluded their season with a winning record and several honors. They took the league title and finished at the quarter finals of the state tournament. The team, however, took it one step further, with five members named All-Conference and one named All-State. Although their season was successful Coach Dave Huttenun termed it erratic and unpre- dictable. Unpredictable, definitely. Although they received the league title they did not have the best record. Because the Broomfield team played an ineligible player they were forced to forfeit their title and allow it to go to the winner of the League Tournament, DCHS. As a result of the ruling DC achieved one of the two goals set by Coach Huttenun. The other goal was to go undefeated. With a 10-6 record the team was unable to accomplish the coveted perfect record. The defeats were close scores. According to Coach Huttenun this caused frustration among team members. However, they were able to over- come their disgruntlement and win again. Coach Huttenun felt that the team played best against Broomfield where they clinched the league title and state berth. He felt the team's triumphs were due, in part, to helpful players including juniors Mike Bernd and Joe Harvey and senior Mark Maykowski. He also mentioned the improvements made by the team, We finally found positions best suited for some players and began working more as a unit. Our defense improved. In addition to these positive assets was the depth factor. Ac- cording to junior Kevin Peck the team had good substitutes which provided the team with a con- sistant attack. Helping them keep the pressure on were the outstanding players named to All-Conference and All-State teams. Senior Derek Beckfield was presented with first team all-State and first team All-Conference awards. Seniors Joel Alexander and Terry Arnold received second team All-Conference honors along with junior FRONT ROW: Bob Butler, Pat Doherty, Tyler Anderson. SECOND ROW: Dan Gormley, Dan Harvey, Dennis Hen- derson, Matt Lukaszewski. THIRD ROW: Cullen Raichart, Wayne Crawford, Mike Louge, Eric Cheldelin, Kevin Dar- 20 rah, Greg Peterson, Randy Refferty.

Derek added to his list of soccer achievements a neva school record of 22 goals in one season. The highly productive varsity season was al- most mirrored by the junior varsity. The JV finished with a 10-2 record, their only losses were to a tough Broomfield team. According to Coach Coil the team played their best against Broomfield despite the loss. He also mentione that the team showed well in their win agains Ponderosa. The whole season was good. W had good team effort-each individual, whethei a starter or not, was extremely important to the total team result, explained Coach Coil. Coach Coil set a goal which he felt his team' achieved, Our goal was to develop fundamen tal soccer skills, team effort, and positive atti- tudes. Coil summed it up by giving his reasons for coaching, I love the sport and feel I can help the kids believe in themselves and do some- thing extra for the school.
