Giving our all. That was Varsity Softball coach Higgins' goal for this year's squad. After nine weeks of conditioning that consisted of strengthening arms and legs, reflex and reaction drills, and all around building of physical endurance. the 1980 team was ready to meet their challenge. It was expected that it would take a 150421 effort to obtain a winning season, so this is exactly what they put out. Leading the bi-weekly battles, and wearing Cougar uniforms for the last time were seniors: Lisa Baker, Cindy Stark, Sue Schuaff, Kim Manchester, Gina Meadows, Mia Flemma, Sandy Salzman, and Peach Mejia. ln coach Higgins' opinion, the fact that most of the girls had played on winning teams before and knew that they were just as good as the rest in the city helped to develop the team's main characteristic which was a massive dose of Cougar Pride. l.V. coach, Alice Bishop, had anticipated a fun and exciting season and that is just what she received. Teamwork was no problem for the J.V. Cougars since most had played together in the Bobby Sox league. Because of the fact that there were ten returning sophomores, a real friendship developed among the girls. Although the games were taken one at a time, the big match was against Sabino. Softball is an exciting, but demanding sport which earns each of its players a tremendous amount of admiration and respect. 82 SPORTS S.

Golf Team shows skills Finishing fourth in divisionals and eleventh in state, the golf team showed talent and skill. There were ten members on the golf team this year. Practice was held everyday at Randolph Park or at Tucson Country Club. The starters were Louis Schuette, who is ranked number one on Sahuaro's golf team and placed third in divisionals, Joe Estes, Jim Nelson, Luke Jensen, Derek Crowe and Ben Higgins. The team worked together as a unit, but it was up to each member to also play as an individual, said Coach Arnold. Golf is a combination of power and finesse. In order to master the sport of golf, physical strength is not as necessary as the ability to concentrate for a long period of time. said Coach Arnold. 84 SPORTS . N. Lautf G N.
