Academics is and always will be first in the minds of educators. However, few realize how very important interscholastic sports are. Sports provide an important outlet and change of pace from academics. There are many excellent scholars at East who also participate in both junior varsity and varsity programs. Playing interscholastic sports are invaluable in teaching teenagers the powers of working as a team, helping teammates, working hard in practice and yet still having fun - the most important facet. High school athletics offer such a good vari- ety that it is easy for everyone to get in- volved. Sports range from physical contact to the use of more finesse and creativity. It is in these ways that make sports very impor- tant to high school students. A chance to express oneself in an environment other than a classroom or on a piece of paper exists in athletics.

VARSITY SCDCCER The success of this year's squad can be attributed to their efforts as a team. Though there were 11 people on the field, they played as one unit. This team effort left the East High Kickers with a 7-2 record, 3rd in the Denver Prep League standings. The defense, led by senior goalie Skip Jefferson, allowed only 5 shots to be put into the net all season, and the team shut out their opponents 5 times. Other defensive stars were Steve Bell, John Huffer, Kirk Jensen, and John Petersen. On the other end of the field, the Kick- ers were led by senior scoring threats Steve Konkol and Ben Cooper, whose shots gave opposing goalies night- mares. The Kickers will continue to improve next season due to enormous depth in key positions. R
