Talented, But A Ways From Perfection We do have talent. It isn ' t that our players are bad, it ' s that we can ' t get organized, shared Mrs. Lopiccolo. The Girls Varsity Soccer team really did have talent, but v» ith a 3-5 league record, it just didn ' t show. With a 5-5 overall record, the team entered into the last hoping to push it over the 50% mark. Working with a new coach is always difficult and get- ting to know and understand Coach Lopiccolo was not any different. The coach was known from J. U.S. A. (Junior United Soccer Association) and came here as a walk-on. Because of the youth of the squad, there is plenty of room for growth. The only starting Senior this year was Lynn Bailey who injured her knee three games into the season. Besides one other Senior the remainder of the team is made up of Sophomores and Juniors. Though they didn ' t win league this year this team sure had fun! ml ' 4 fijiiaA y £-4.j . j»-.

Soccer Underclassmen Show Talent, Style Under new coach and alunnnus Tom Bezick, the J.V. soccer team completed a winning season of 8-3-3. Said Coach Bezick, I was very satisfied with the year. I felt that we played up to potential. Todd Holt, defensive specialist, and Eugene Tjoa, leading scorer, directed the team ' s di- rection this year. As their record reflects, the squad was unified and very competitive. Our Varsity team should be very good next year. We will have a lot of growing to do, though, stated Varsity Coach Garcia. Next year can wait. This year was good in itself. With the Sophomores playing J.V. soccer, the Frosh.- Soph. team was without Soph. The Freshmen played a successful year of soccer even without them. Under new coach and alumnus, Gary Imai, they are looking foreword to a fine session of J.V. soccer next year, too, Most of the guys have above average talent, related Coach Garcia. This talent will continue the winning tradi- tion of El Dorado soccer. O ® im i Richie ' s safe but what about the ball?
