sdidnoi As the winter season opened, hifjh hopes for playoff appearances and abun- dant victories were held by the five winter teams. Of that group of five, three of those teams reached their initial goal. The boys ' varsity basketball held the highest aspirations, as they attempted to match last year ' s success. Suffering a major setback with the pre-season injury to senior Randy Robinson, this talented group of young men pulled together to gain their second consecutive Citrus Belt League title. As they finished the regular season with a record of 17-7, they awaited their first round draw for the CIF playoffs. Capistrano Valley, a team with a record of 20-5 and the toughest third- place team in the tournament, was to be the Terriers ' opponent in a game that was played in Terrier Gym. Capo Valley won that game, 74-70, and advanced to the next round of the playoffs. Two weeks later, the all-CBL team was announced, and senior Victor Wharton was chosen as a co-MVP along with a player from Kisen- hower. Also, Mar Smith, Nick Schichtle, Glen Trunelle, and Richard Corbridge were named to the team as well. The girls ' basketball team struggled through the first half of their season, but came roaring back in the second half to finish a strong fourth place in the CBL. This was the first time in three years that the Lady Terriers did not make the playoffs. Trista Bingham. Laurie O ' Brien, and Liz Womack were some of the key players on that determined team. A new sport on campus, girls ' soccer became quite popular at RHS in its first year. The team was awesome, and vaulted into the playoffs. Facing a tough Villa Park opponent, the Terriers fell 2-1 on a sunny day in Villa Park. The girls were very proud of their accomplishment, and provided a sound base for a program that is expected to grow and improve rapidly. Boys ' soccer once again led all winter sports by advancing to the second round of the CIF playoffs. In the first round of the playoffs, the Terriers faced a s tern test in Claremont, and at the end of the overtime period, the two teams were deadlocked at 4-4. They then had a shootout, which is when each team chooses five players who will go individually against the opposing goalie, trying to score a goal. Redlands won this shootout, 4-M, which gave RHS the right to face Culver City, a team that had defeated the Terriers 2-0 early in the season. Once again, after an overtime period, the score was tied; this time l-I. Culver City emerged victorious 3-1 in the shootout, and eventually went to the CIF ' championship game. When wrestling season came around, C ' oach E)stupinan felt that this year would be a rebuilding one. That it was, as inexperience plagued the young wrestlers. Although no one was able to qualify for the CIF meet, the great effort shown by RHS grapplers was very touching. They were building a future, one that they hoped would be successful. We can do it, Redlands fire it up! chanted the cheerleaders. Players of various spf)rts responded well, and difl indeed fire it up. While striving for perfection as well as for victory, Redlands athletes learned such important traits as sportsman- ship and the importance of relying on one another. The pride, determination, effort, and success of RHS athletes and teams provides proof that nobody can do it the Redlands way. JJ i Top left.

Ill At the outset of the 1984 85 scho jl year, coaches of fall athletic teams were optimistic about their teams ' chances of advancing tu the playoffs. As it turned out, three of those coaches found themselves involved in post- er, i-mi play. The most surprising of the three was the Redlands f(K)tball team. After a dismal 198.5 season in which the Terriers finished 2-8, the Big Blue Machine found new life in 1984, finishing 7,5 at the end of the regular season. However, that wasn ' t the end of their season. The C.I.F. board granted R.H.S. a wildcard berth. This was their first playoff appearance since 1979. when the Terriers were beaten by Kdison in the championship game. The Terriers faced just as stern a test in Servite this year. The Friars entered the game with a 9-1 record, two consecutive C.I.F. Big Five Conference chami)ionships, and a number-one ranking. After the hard- tought battle, played in a muddy dlover .Stadium in Anaheim, Servite emerged ictorious, ;i.5-9. The game was nothing like what the score suggested, as the Terriers trailed only 7-;? at halftimc and forced .Servite to earn all of their points. .At the end of the year, Dwayne -Jones, Fred Hawkins, Brian Hemphill. Ted Ford, Nick Schichtle. Kric Rechsteiner, Brian Nollar. Doug Straw, and Ted driffith were named to the all-C.B.L. first and second teams. Dwavne Jones was also named lo the all-C.I.F. team. The volleyball team came into its season with high hopes. Their dreams did not come true, as they finished fourth in league. Their downfall resulted from a number of things, the most obvious being an inability to l eat Colttm. Determination and stamina gave Redlands a chance to run away with a C.B.L. title. However, they didn ' t know about Colton or Rubidou. . .Mthough the girls ' and lK)ys ' cross country teams did not reach the playoffs, they remained united and showed a great deal of improvement. Mark Fra .ier, senior, placed eighth in the C.B.L. meet and was named to the all- C.B.L. team. For the girls, .senior Cheryl Thurman overcame an illne.ss and managed to finish in the top fifteen at the meet. She was named to the all- C.B.L. team as well. With the addition of three new teams to the C.B.L., the girls ' tennis team did very well. They finished second in league t)nly to I ' alm Springs, a perennial p )wer, and advanced to the CIF playoffs once again. Their first-round opponent was North Torrance, and the Terriers were subdued 10-8. Laurie Power, Stephanie Comadena, Laurie O ' Brien, Vicki Allan, LiesI Tiefentaler and Amy Thomson were all named to the CBL team. This year was supposed to be a rebuilding season for Dale .Adama ' s water polo learn, but the players united and went to the C.I.F. playoffs. They faced awesome Indio, and the Rajahs practically drowned Redlands. ' Pheir C.I.F. appearance, as surprising as it was, had been something that R.H.S. poloists had planned on doing. In three out of five sports, R.H.S. emerged victorious, and the t)ther two weren ' t far behind. Redlands has once again risen lo a level of excellence that can not l e compared with any other school. One thing is unquestionable: the dedication and performance of Redlands athletes was at its pt ak. .1.1
