ore athletes involved Increased number of players There is an addition to the Andress football teams this year. The sophomore foot- ball team increased the number of athletes that were able to be involved in football. Although they were a new team, the sophomores were very strong. The players had a great deal of pride in being winners and it showed in their performance on the field. Outstanding players were: Kenny Taylor, Emilo Pittman, Arthur Scott, George Markle, john Gunn, and Raymond Maxwell. Coach Bobby Elliott feels that Burges was their toughest game, but as the season progressed, the per- formance of the team im- proved, along with the at- titude and spirit of the team. Coach Elliott commented, They performed well under pressure and there was a great amount of talent on this football team. The sophomore football team finished with an 8-0 record. In their first year as a team, the sophomores were district 1 AAAAA champions. The members of the sophomore football team alternated between playing on the junior Varsity and the Sophomore teams. 4 Andress linemen do a good job of holding Coronado back. 4 Andress makes a first down at a game .---- against Austin.

nexperience hurts Young varsity volleyball team finds going tough 'lThis year we had a very young team. When we got behind, it was very hard for our team to fight back, said Coach Eva Navarro. 'They do have the potential to play better and hopefully next year they will show their abilities. Despite many hours of hard practice, which began on Monday, August 8, the team fared poorly in district competition. They practiced an average of two hours on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. On Fridays and game days, they averaged at least half an hour. The inexperience men- tioned by Coach Navarro led to many disappointments for the 14-member team, which finished in seventh place. The only returning players were Monika Drake, Linda Kirk, Ana Cigarroa, and Leslie Thompson. In addition to their own tournament which the team hosted August 26-27, they participated in the Riverside and Parkland Tournaments, in which they fought but lost the consolation trophy.
