Victory Now and in the Future 'We played as a teamg the guys gave as much as they could. - Jamie Osbrink runts sound, muscles strain, and pain courses through the bodies of all. But the Coyotes are overwhelmed. Touchdown!! With such aggression, the 1987 junior Varsity Football team had an explosive offense. Running back David Caramanis accumulated almost 1800 yards rushing. The offensive line contributed a great deal to this total with guards Travis Gepson and john Lakotas, and tackle Mike Cavalier consis- tently controlling the line of scrimmage. The of- fense was strengthened further by quarterback josh Smaler, wide receiver Greg Ochoa, and run- ning back Todd Cribari. Besides having a superior offense, the defense was exceptional as well. The defense was hard-hitting, possibly as Coach Crow stated, the best group of tacklers he's ever had. Defensive stars Matt Curie and Sean McGrath led the defense, shutting out opposing teams twice. This combination of offense and defense, as well as their burning desire to win, was responsible for the team's league championship. The Frosh Football team had an impressive season as well, winning league. Surprisingly, the team was composed largely of players who had never played organized football. However, with an in- terest and ability to learn, the young athletes quickly became excellent, with players like run- ning back Rich lacobellis and linebackers Chris Bluth and Dylan jones responsible for the winning season. Both junior Varsity and Frosh teams promise to get much better in the next two years. Coach Crow felt that the team will be an outstanding one, as the junior Varsity already is. In retro- spect, Crow stated that he really enjoyed the team. They have a lot of talent, and they worked really, really hard.

Q0 Var We're Here to Cheer 'We all inspired each other'-.luli Bellante True dedication and optimism shine through in every athlete at Agoura High School. The same energy was found in the 1987-88 Varsity Spirit Team. just like other athletes, the squad devoted countless hours of practice toward improvement and perfection, usually from the start of sixth peri- od to 4:00 p.m. ln these sessions, as member Sta- cey Silverman described, We would be going over sideline cheers, making up routines and stunts, and giving everyone a chance so that all the ideas could be put together into one. As the girls worked persistently at their sport, a sense of fm' t s ' His. :sf U Q gaviaii Above, A-G-O-U-R-A Cheer on Valerie Boucher! Spell- outs were an easy way for the crowd to get into the game. Above right, all can see the practice the girls put in pay off with exciting, creative skits such as this. Kelli Gann, Stephanie Erick- son, and Kim Deschaine were in action here. At right, Michele Morton, with Stacey Silverman and Stephanie Erickson behind her, moves in synchronized rhythm during a half-time break. Football games truly wouldn't have been the same without the Spirit Team. tm Rnirit Team family grew. Kelli Gann said pridefully that she honestly enjoyed being with her friends, getting to know them inside and out. Team member luli Bellante reflected, Whenever I needed someone to talk to, they were always there. l love the whole squad and really appreciate everybody. The team performed well because of this unity, receiving the highest ranking of Superior at a cheerlead- ing camp in Santa Barbara over the summer. These girls roused school pride at every event for which they cheered. -Bob Rich l bradsh i g.
