In Search of Victory Under A New Coach Load 'em up! Move 'em out! Rawhide. The song Rawhide could have easily been made the theme for the football teams. Having been moved to AAA division II meant that the teams would be making more frequent journeys across the state. Traveling was not necessarily a bad thing. After all, how many schools have a mobile study hall? Some team members had to get homework done sometime and if the only time they had was on the bus then so be it. In other cases students planned to do home- work on the bus, but things just didn't work out that way. Really, who can sit in a bus and study Algebra II after hav- ing just stomped all over the baffled opposition? Getting home late at night and waking up early in the morn- ing does effect my concentration on school work, commented Guillermo Manriquez. Not only did the traveling affect schoolwork, but the playing abilities of some of the players. Moving out for great distance and being asked to play at their best put a great amount of strain on some. On long trips my body is really relaxed and l have trou- ble keeping my mind on foot- ball, replied David Rios. On the other hand some just took it as part of the job. However, the new change in travel was generally viewed as a pretty good idea because the teams just seemed to win win win! fl!

One More Successful Team for Lady Titans According to Kathy Krucker, Varsi- ty Volleyball Coach, It was another great year for volleyball. Coach Krucker added, I think the new team is great! Ms. Taylor, coach of the freshman team, did a great job in train- ing these possible Varsity players-to- be. It wasn't easy for her, especially with a new child on the way. Coaching JV was health teacher Ms. Patterson. JV had a good season, even though they lacked experience. Having only four returning JV players posed a problem with experience and leader- ship. JV player Jan Carey commented, I think JV did great year! Ms. Patter- son did an extremely admirable job teaching usf' Ms. Krucker, Varsity coach, got off to a favorable start with her four retur- ning Varsity players, and ended with yet more divisional and state ap- pearances. The rest of her team con- sisted of last year's JV players that had moved up. Other members of the team included players who had quit for a while but just couldn't stay away, such as Kellie Kellum. Another change, besides the new freshman team, was the change in leagues. PV is now in the AAA South II League. This meant longer rides on the bus to far away schools. It also meant less time for academics and other activities. Ursula Sproule, of the Varsity squad, said, It really doesn't matter what league we're in, we'll always come out on top because we are number one!
