Winning league, the girls' IV soccer team was obviously doing something right. What they did was play as a team. This teamwork result- ed from the fact that the majority of the team members had played on the same team since they were little kids. The advantages are obvious: it was easier to work the ball. Whereas most of the teams the girls played lacked unity and did not play together, the girls' IV soccer team did. Another advantage was that they were all close friends. Thus, there was no unfriendly team rivalry and, as put by Sunday DiZazzo, it was All for one and one for all. Stephanie Stone said this closeness also made difficult practices much easier, Even though the workouts were hard, being with your friends made it easier and even a little fun. Although their true strength lay in their team uni- ty, they were further strengthened by their pow- erful offense. Forwards Iill Gallegos, Amy Galer, and Sunday DiZazzo formed the striking ability of the offense and were some of the team's most skilled players. With high caliber athletes such as these and effective leadership provided by Noelle Hagenberger and Erin Artman, the team placed second in the Simi Valley Tournament and easily Ya Walls ,,,,,,wmaq mfwmmf Amy Cook fights for the ball against an opposing player. Keeping the ball, Cook was one of the reasons that the IV girls' soccer team was unde- feated and won league this gavran year- won league, scoring a hundred goals on the way. IV boys' soccer had a superior season too, al- though they weren't without their troubles. Goal- keeper Hooshie Broomand summed these prob- lems up: Our team started out on a down, but, with our new coach, we started winning. Losing their first game, the team felt very demoralized. However, this loss was mainly due to their inexpe- rience playing together. With new coach Steve Iones and incredible talent and depth, they quickly rebounded and won the rest of their games and won league. Their rebound was also due to key players like fullback Tyler Madsen and halfback Danny Mesirow, as well as a stoic goal- tender, Hooshie Broomand. With a strong defen- sive style, they shut out opposing teams three times and held four other teams to one point. Despite the movement of Ioey Madalia to varsity, the IV offense remained potent. Placing well in the tough Simi Valley Tournament, the IV boys' soccer team also won league and promised a championship caliber varsity team for years to come. - Iohn Kelley I f 15:2 W-W M?

110 XX Wimp Need ot Appl 'Every hour of sweat is worth every second of glory' -Joe Gasbarri rose is a rose is a rose ... WHAT? Hey, get out of here - don't you know who you're dealing with? The Tasmanian Devils, that's who! Hey guy, read the headline and split. WIMPS NEED NOT APPLY. Once again the AHS varsity and JV wrestling teams had a challenging but victorious season. Easily capturing the Frontier League title, they dazzled us with amazing moves which proved to be the key to their success. Dave Stepner described wrestling as non-stop action, claiming that ev- erything that happens is up to you. Most team members agreed that the toughest part was mak- ing weight, sometimes virtually fasting for two days before a meet. joe Gulla explained that wres- tlers need to be fit mentally and physically, showing what a draining sport it is. Coach Smith, the varsity coach, was described by loe Gasbarri as a father-figure, someone who The varsity team this year was Top: Coach Smith, Brad Gor- don, Rich Bradley, Paul Berry and Coach Ritterbush. Mid- dle: Mike Murth, Neil Mason, Dave Stepner, Tommy Kim, and Maurice Elias. Bottom: Brad Smith, joe Archer, Tony Ferragamo, and joe Gasbarri. They were one of the most oustanding team's Agoura ever had. The IV tea-m was composed of Top: Coach Smith, Ty Leonard, Patrick Hattori, Da- vid Soucy, Billy Heusser, Bert Michitsch, and Coach Riteer- bush. Middle: Iordan McCol- lum, Brian Benglesdorf, jamie Osbrink, Glenn Michitsch, Adam Kuklin, Chuck Sewell, and Farhad Notghi, Bottom: Chris Lee, Greg Smith, Sean Rassman, Chris Lentz, David Polombo, and Matt Bernsen. The team succeeded in mak- ing a name for themselves due to their great talent. loe Casbarri calmly gc-ts his opponent down on his hands and knees. Gasbarri was MVP i for the varsity. restling always gave good advice. Ciasbarri went on to become the 1A Southern Section CIF champion in the 135 pound division, and advanced as far as the Masters Dennis Ritterbush was the JV coach and was por- trayed as being like a kid. He never looked down on anyone. Chuck Sewell felt that although wrestling is an individual sport, a lot of team unity exists. Most members felt that they would miss this unity, as well as the fun they shared. A lot of us have been together for years, and we're going to miss being around each other and our coaches, summed up Gasbarri. Although there was great sense of team spirit as Sewell put it, the sport is basically one on one. Gulla added, It's your moment in the spotlight. You did us proud boys! - Sadaf Cohen Alihmiil YNY i mrs tijfigyi-gefa ---5 -Q-jvdy, ut- vrsv. .Las ' . 'YQ' - ' , -1 . aa., . '.L.e. . 4.-. a...f ,fy r in aa 14:50 ,121 z,.fi4.-wpww. awffafw,-.,..
