Honeycutt worked to build skills and tried to show his players that he was concerned with each of their im- provements. He felt that he had to be a flexible coach, because each player was dif- ferent and needed help in different areas. The team's instruments of success were hitting, and the fact that there was a great amount of team unity. The team was suc- cessful because the players felt that they needed some improvement and worked on it, stated Honeycutt. Honeycutt felt that the '83 team had just as much potential as the '82 team. The team really has the potential to be champions, exclaimed Honeycutt. The key elements necessary for the ,I.V. team were concentrating on the fundamen- tals of playing baseball. The goals Honeycutt had for the season included get- ting the players to build their skills for a winning season by setting goals for themselves. Honeycutt also wanted to be sure the athletes realized that being on the team meant doing well in their classes, and that academics is just as important as baseball. Being on the team meant having a good time while making meaningful friendships that last, stated Rene Anaya. Design Bill Shrrp Copy: Patricia Gonzales 2 1 6 Photos: Doug Bond

Team Based on Defense econd year Girl's Varsity Basketball Coach Dave Lynch felt that the team's main strong point was defense. This team is not very tall, so we talk about stopping the other people from scoring said Lynch Other strong points of the team includ d speed and quickness which helped both scoring and in defense To go with that we have some fairly good shooters on this team stated Lynch xg Ll.ani Safford guards Michelejohnson as she puts up a shot. Qtr The team practiced about an hour and a half each day after school, with some work on Saturdays. They worked on the basic fundamentals of the game, such as passing, dribbling, and shooting. They also had ball handling and passing drills, as well as three-on- three full court scrimages. junior Paula Pyers felt that the most important aspect of basketball was a good attitude. You have to be good, have talent, and practice hard, but have attitude to put it all together, stated Pyers. You have to have respect and ad- miration for your teammates, otherwise you wouldn't have a good team. I also think it's important to have a whole team, not just one superstar , she concluded. The team goals according to Senior Kim Kelly were to have a good record, take it one game at a time, and end up in the State Finals. I feel that Coach Lynch is the best women's coach in all of Southern Arizona. He can really relate to the players and he has taught me a lot , she said. Diane Lindflott felt that in order to have a winning season you needed peo- ple with enough character to never give up. She concluded by saying team- work and talent are also essential.
