Swinging Season GMHS' Golf team played well this year, according to Larry Cole, coach. The team played at several different golf courses throughout the year sea- son, including Foothills, Applewood, Indian Tree, Lakewood Country Club, and Rolling Hills. Although the team had eleven new members this year, Cole felt that the team played well. A coach always wants the team to play better than they did, but we played very well over- all. Cole also added, We had good young golfers. In all the team consisted of eighteen members. They had problems howev- er, Our greatest problem was prob- ably a lack of experience and tourna- ment competition. Cole contributed. If the team members will practice be- tween now and next fall, putting a lot of time into the game, we should have an excellent season next year. Brett Starnes, senior, commented that he thought the team played well and pulled together. We had good team spirit, but we could use more work. For the first time the team had a female member, Shelly Vance. Being the only girl on the team could have been a bizarre experience but Vance, junior, had a great season and even competed at districts. The team was compiled of six sen- iors: Eric Bauer, Steve Gray, Tim Kay- lor, Bret Starnes, Tom Wade and Mike Upson. They had four juniors: David Lojko, Jim Topkoff, Terry Burnes, and Shelly Vance. Finally they had eight sophomores: Mark Janney, John Korb, Jason Liechti, Mike McAlister, Jim Pearl, Kevin Thomas, and Brian Watson. J.

A Long Court-ship The players on the Varsity team have been playing basketball for sever- al years. Some have played together before and know each others moves. Their team unity showed up on the court as they cheered on and encour- aged each other. The team didnlt have a lot of height making them powerful but practice and skill make up for it many times. When they lost, it was almost always by a very few points. They were beat- en in Sub-Districts 60-61. Jeff Chavez said he learned, When you don't have a winning record, keep on try- ing. His favorite part of the game was when the crowds got into it, and win- ning. The Varsity players were: Chris Parisi-10, VJ Greco-11, Jeff Chavez- 12, Greg Meyers-13, Joe VanDyke- 14, Rob Hemminger-15, John Brehm- 20, Rod Schrieber-21, Jeff Shearer- 22, Ron Keller-30, Jeff Mages-32, Sean Dowdell-34, and Gordon Apa- daca-44. Their coach was Bruce Dick. All of the basketball teams attended a camp at Mesa College at Grand Junction. It gave them a chance to get closer to one another as a team. Rob Hemminger stated, lt helped by giv- ing us a little bit more playing timefl The J.V. worked hard for their win- ning record. We've improved and work better together,'l said Hem- minger. The J.V. members coached by Jeff Klimper were: Rob Hemminger- 10, Trevor Jacklin-12, Duane Sutliff- 13, Sean Dowdell-20, Todd Wither- spoon-21, Rod Schrieber-24, Walt Schattinger-30, Gary Mages-32, Jeff Shearer-34, John Kinney-42, Gordon Apadaca-43, and Scott Stevens-44.
