0ne More Shot 'We made tremendous inroads in establishing a successful programf -Coach Terry Sciarrino eamwork was the key to a successful season for the Agoura girls' varsity basketball team. Friendship, being able to accept criticism from teammates, having faith in each other's abili- ties, and a third place Frontier League finish car- ried the team into CIF playoffs. The team made tremendous improvement this year and anticipated an even better season in 1989 with only two seniors graduating. Working hard to better the team, the girls practiced from four to six p.m. every day after school. A typical practice consisted of many drills, scrimmages, running, and conditioning. The strenuous practices, along with dedication and aggressiveness carried the team through the season successfully. Senior player Kyung Lee saw the Calabasas game as the highlight of the season. That was our best game. The rival- ry and closeness of the team really shone through in our game. Even though we lost by one point, it was definitely the most exciting game we played. While there were many high points in this year's season, there were also quite a few injuries on the team which altered the line-up. Senior Kerry Mc- Carthy was out most of the season due to a broken finger and MVP Lisa Little suffered an ankle injury which also kept her out of play for awhile. Despite these set-backs, jill Hartwick and other team members felt that the team got along really well and that's what made us do so well. Coach Terry Sciarrino saw great improvement in his team and felt that the dream of League championship in 1989 was not out of the question. - Kelly Fitzpatrick Girls' Varsity Basketball Us Them Calabasas 34 The 1987-88 girls' varsity bas- ketball team members are: Anastasia Liakas, Amy Ben- nett, Kerry McCarthy, Denise Decker, Katie Benioff, lana glacifghrfgila Johnston, Lisa Little, Wove Santa Clara 30 Pike, Kristen Phillips, Valerie Calabasas 48 Camp, Wendy Baertschiger, Nordhoff 46 Santa Paula 48 Santa Clara 22 Girls' X .iisiix B.Islst'llmll Kyung Lee, Coach Terry Sciarrino.

Under the guidance of Coach Iim Hall, the Chargers came out of the season with a 15- 3 overall record and a very impressive 8-0 record in the Frontier League, Gabe Bennett suggested, lf it wasn't for our great coach and strong players, we would never have gone undefeated. One of these strong players was point guard Sean Martin, who was the high scorer and play maker. Furthermore, center Tim Nanson was the out- standing rebounder this season. This year's toughest opponents were Santa Paula and Santa Clara. When the Chargers first played Santa Clara, they won by twenty points. However, the Char- gers prevailed by just two points at their second meet- ing. Overall, the team's performance in 1988 would have even impressed the Lakers. Although the 1988 girls' IV basketball team ended up 2-5 in league and 6-10 overall, their positive attitude made them all winners. Monica Emerik noticed in- credible improvement throughout the year, along with enthusiastic teamwork. Key players this year were point guard Michelle Bunch, whose quickness on the court made her a high scorer, and wing Ally Krebs, who helped the team succeed with her tough defense. Also, center Wendy Wortendyke showed in- credible imporvement throughout the season. The Chargers' two league victories were against Cala- basas, and their toughest matches were against Santa Paula and Santa Clara, who both possessed strong de- fense. Even though the girls won only half of their games this year, their perseverance proved that they had true Charger pride. With fine athletes and a super rookie coach, the boys' froshfsoph basketball team finished with a record of 12-5 overall, and 6-2 in the Frontier League, good enough for a three-way tie for first place. Coach Bill Sanchez felt that he had great kids to work with and that this was one of the best teams he had ever coached. The Chargers were a tough team to beat with center Ierry Noble as the top rebounder and scorer, guard Brian Miller as the leader in assists, and with powerful performances by Gino Corridori and Dennis Fowler. One of the team's major accomplishments this year was beating Santa Clara, which no Agoura froshfsoph basketball team had ever done before. To top off this great year, the Chargers took third place in a tough Thousand Oaks tournament. - Steve Rich Rocketing across the court, Iohn Thoe successfully sets up a fast break which no one can stop. Amazing fast breaks were only one of Thoe's con- tributions to this year's fan- tastic IV team. During a tough game against the Santa Paula Saints, Kim Iaffee displa s aggressive blocking techniques. Ally Krebs was another player with superior defense who made every opposing team's point a hard feat to accom- plish. The members of the girls' IV basketball team include A. Salzman, I. Kim, L. Briddle, A. Krebs, I. Yang, W. Worten- dyke, I, Welton, W. Pike, C. White, C.. Beccaria, L. Reiner, K. Iaffee, S. Costa, M. Bunch, YNY M. Ereik, L, Good, S. Gold- farb, and Coach M. Benioff. Even though the team didn't come out on top in their Frontier division, they were all champions for possessing true Charger spirit. Girls' IV Basketball 99
