No one could foresee their imminent success or the friendships that would develop through the year. lf the team wasnlt as close, we wouldn't have made it, comment- ed Michelle Poucher with a smile of pride. The Varsity team dis- played the strongest bond of unity that has ever been shown in past seasons. ul learned a lot about friendships as well as how to overcome diffi- culties in the season and suc- ceed, replied Jill Benson. Every- time they reached a goal, there was another one just ahead to conquer. Difficulties in the season contributed to an unordinary year. The lack of available referees and problem of not being able to play on their home field added to the pres- sures of each game. Zeus should be thank- ful that we stuck to the Titan theme, com- mented Coach Bradshaw. They obviously overcame each difficulty and performed expertly on the field. Com- peting in CIF, their rigorous practices and skills led them to a victorious year. Opponents iii H They Granite Hills 3 Santana t 3, Mira Mesa 2 Z Mt.
