Depending On The Individual want to get up to varsity by mid-sea- son, said Kumi Ta- kahashi. I want to see the team win, and we ' re definitely capable of doing that, stated Micco Mouleart. These students were mem- bers of the J.V. and Varsity golf teams this year, and were very optimistic in their goals for the season. Many of the golf players set out to work hard, play well, and have fun, and that ' s just what they did. They worked harder this year than perhaps any other golf team. Starting in February, they practiced every day after school at the Mesa Verde Golf Course. The teams could be found hitting, chipping, putting, driving and playing nine holes a day. Us a hard sp ort and it all depends on the individual. If you want to get better, you have to work hard because it takes a lot of practice, stated Paul Markel. At the end of January, there are try-outs, and anybody can be on the team, which I advise because it ' s a great experience. A key to any team is having good coaches. Art Perry, Chuck Perry, and Ed Wynkoop did an outstanding job by providing good advice, stressing drills and tech- nique, and by providing a lot of encouragement. 160 Sports

The Great American Tradition ror many Americans, baseball was not just another sport. It was a tradition. From the youngest players of the Peanuts League to the fathers who cheered at their son ' s high- school games, a form of fever could be found. I have been playing base- ball since I was in first grade, said Clayton Melson. It is a great challenge . Many believe that the great- est challenge was the mental aspect of the sport. Both un- conscious reactions, such as quick drive for the ball, and conscious pro cedures, like remembering the rules, were involved. However, despite all the hardships, the teams started the season with a positive outlook. Most of the players, with the exception of the Frosh-Soph team, were re- turning experts . They were well-rounded, with strong pitching and hitting, and con- sidered the phrase number one in the league as their goal. Not surprisingly, their en- thusiasm even carried into their practices. The work-outs lasted from sixth period ath- letics until sunset. Who knows? There just might have been a young Babe Ruth hidden in our team. After all, didn ' t Tyler Hilbert say that he wanted to make a career out of it? imi- m Varsity: Top Row: Scott Nishitani, Dave Westman, Steve Campeau, Cabe Javage, Conrac Colby, Tony Mendoza, Lance Ely, Chris Becker, Mark Hartly Middle Row: Frank Herman, Mikf Lewis, Jason White, Kent French, Javier Gomez, Russel Wilson Front Row: Mario Garibotti Danny Dougherty, Andy Green 162 Sports
