SJ HS PRESS A Tradition of Champions LAKEWOOD- Both Varsity and Junior Varsity softball teams upheld the long-stand- ing tradition of excellence in softball this year. They refused to allow pressure to hinder their performances on the Jester field. For the third year, Debbie Taylor coached the Varsity team and, once again, Lisa Fernan- dez pitched an outstanding season. Her deter- mination helped maintain the team spirit while DeDe Mosman and Pam Jones attained recognition for their fielding abilities. The un- derclassmen were well-represented by sopho- more Suzanne Pickett and freshman Bev Stigl- bauer. Among the tournaments in which they competed were Canyon and Cypress. The team was among the top finishers in both tournaments. Next, the j.V. team introduced the season with a new coach, Steve Connolly. Together they competed in the Cypress Tournament and performed their best. Outstanding players included catchers Amy Turner and Amie Bradshaw as well as Iris Castillo who contri- buted her pitching skills. Both teams were united in an effort to achieve the goals they set at the beginning of the season. The tradition of superior softball continued this year which brought the spirit of annimusannu to the Jester softball field. 1 Pam jones, first baseman for the Varsity team, at- tempts to be the all-around player during prac- tice. 100 if Not only is jennifer Ourique an outstanding player, but also a part-time dancer as sh avoids a ball during a game.

Soccer Hot Shots Shake up the League! Lakewood- As the SJHS soccer team settled into its third year in competi- tion, it was apparent that the 1987-88 season would indeed be a challenge for this young team. The three talent- ed seniors, Kim Arboit, Yvette Gon- zales, and Michelle Carlos displayed the leadership that kept the team's morale elevated. Kim Arboit's consis- tent competitiveness and skill in play- ing served as a pillar of support for the team. Being chosen as All-league and the team's Most Valuable Player the previous season seemed to be the beginning of more accomplishments, and she attained the distinguished honor of being inaugurated into the Lakewood Hall of Fame this past sea- son. Yvette Gonzales and Michelle Carlos also play aggresive roles in this year's team as they paired to become an effective scoring threat and a uni- fying force for the team. An interesting development in this year's squad was an emergence of a new generation of competitors. Frosh starters Michelle Zentgraf, Lisa Flores and Jeanette Pletka added excitement to this year. Goalie Michelle Zentgraf earned her distinguished position while running the defense. Lisa Flores fhalfbackl and Jeanette Pletka Cleft wingl were an explosive combination for the Jester's scoring drive. These individuals highlighted the team, but equally deserving of recog- nition, were all of the girls on the team as each exhibited the winning attitude that propelled them through a successful season.
