The Swing Cf Things 'The team had good mental strength and a lot of physical strength! -Danny Swick he boys' tennis team had a smashing season for 1987-88. Coach Perry, in his second year of coaching, offered encouragement and a positive outlook for the team and their season. The team unity improved this year as Dan- ny Swick commented, We worked together as a team with the coach this year. The team's main goals were to keep their team strong and beat Calabasas. In an effort to reach this goal, the team practiced regularly after school and maintained a positive attitude. Daily practices began with an inspirational talk from the coach which led to stretching, conditioning, basic drills, and chal- lenge matches. These challenge matches offered a sense of competition among team members. ,O .Z ,e, . f --4-1:55-Qr 9i il v-'HIV A - 'z f wk..-as--:1f'L A v ef-V. 1' .i 5 321 '9,,g,g.- eb ,fig-.QL ,Q A-' .L Mac' '94- vf '-1ff f'.S?4.Y!:v A G5 gatiatt point with case and strived to play his best at all times.

Either way, there was definitely a positive competitive spirit in these intra-school rivalries. A desire to win carried the team throughout the season. The players worked well together which developed depth on the team. Most of the play- ers had played for a long time before this school season. Both tournament play and experience helped build the good mental and physical strength that the team possessed. In addition to strength, Kerry Kallman felt that a winning team needs to maintain its spirit and morale. - Kelly Fitzpatrick ' 'NN--..,,.

From The Land To The Sea 'We work ourselves to bring the team up' -Steve Pratt plish Splash and a hole in one - a unique combination one might say. True, but golf and diving had a lot in common. Both re- quired extraordinary talent and tremendous dedi- cation. First, the airborn faction, the divers, prac- ticed everyday, basically coaching themselves and each other. They participated in invitationals as well as in meets with the swim team. Malia Lasley compared diving to gymnastics, and said the part she enjoyed most was learning new dives and executing them perfectly. The team consisted of seven members. john Murth, the only male mem- ber ofthe team, said he felt diving was a unique sport because you're free in the air. Although their scores are combined with those of the swim team, and they didn't receive all the attention they deserved, the '88 diving team was still one of the most outstanding ever at Agoura.

The nine- member team practiced four days a week. Prac- tices consisted of hitting range balls, putting, and playing the course. Mike Cohen, the coach, was credited with selecting quality courses, working his members hard, and choosing courses to pre- pare his team for CIF. Dylan Thompson described him as being, relaxed and calm, and said he encouraged them to play the the best of their ability and to enjoy playing as well. Thompson said the necessary skills were not only coordination and flexibility, but patience and persistence. The golf team, which was also not one of the most publicized group of athletes, did very well and at the same time provided a lot of fun for the play- ers. So, as one can see, Agoura was filled with talent from the land to the sea. - Sadaf Cohen vary The members of diving team Carpenter.
