Amcens Kick BnAvElANd Foes All the plodding and pleading, not to mention e visits to School Board meetings, finally paid f as this year, Brookfield Central has a Varsity Jccer Team. Coach John Becker, who played 1 the U.W.M. Varsity Soccer Team in the 1979 eason, was in his first year of coaching. Coach ecker originally looked at this year as one in hich he might lay a foundation for future ams. Junior Mike Rytel comments I think :nach Becker approached this team with a little zepticism, but l'm sure he was pleasantly sur- iised. Not only was Coach Becker surprised. The l lncer's opponents were astonished at the iality of play achieved by the team. Compiling 1 11-1-1 record for the season, the unher- ded BCHS Soccer Team upset a number of e state's established soccer powers. The fact at several team members had gained experi- ice playing for club teams in the Milwaukee 'ea contributed to the success of the team as whole. The veteran players served as leaders .both practices and games. Regretfully, all but to starters will be lost to graduation this year. High scorers were seniors Mark Middleton, ptain Tom Dockery, and M.V.P. Jim Twet. pes for next year's team hinge on outstand- juniors Tony Stemberger and Mike Doyle. ,flecting on the 1980 season, it appears that e players with previous experience imparted eir knowledge to the 'rookies'. This is a plau- ble theory, but senior Tom Dockery explains l wasn't experience or skill that brought our god record. It was the determination and drive at remained from last year's pleading for a am All in all, the season was very productive and rewarding, but there were some frustrating moments. For instance, a crucial State Tourna- ment game was lost to Milwaukee James Madison due to an official's error. lnadvertantly, fifteen extra minutes were played, enabling the opposing team to gain a lead and defeat the Lancers. Though the season ended on a sour note, the team felt they had had a rewarding experience. 11, Chasing a soccer ball that he kicked, senior Mark Middleton runs with determination showing on his face. It is this type of effort that helped the soccer team accom- plish what they did in only their second year of existence. 121 Eyeing the ball, sophomore Sean Corcoran prepares to kick a goal. t3j During a game with Milwaukee Tech, senior Dave Duehr prepares to head the ball for a goal while senior Al Roth looks on. .1980 Soccer 1 1 Gerrhanfowri J ..

Spikilslq To A CoNfEnENcE FOURTH With the realization of the Braveland Conference, the 1980 Varsity Volleyball Team faced some tough new competition as well as encountering a few old rivalries during their season. The Lancer spikers finished fourth in the conference of four teen teams with a record of sixteen wins and ten losses. Although the team had plenty of talent, it was inconsistently reflected in their record. Because the only returning lettermen were Carol Busche, Sue Pelland, and Patti Wahlen, most of the team was comprised of the 1979 Junior Varsity players. Senior Carol Busche comments Although most of the team was young, we worked together, helped each other, and learned from our mistakes. I think that we proved that we were a good all-around team, but our spiking was our strongest point. We had good offense, defense, and basic skills. Many times during the season, the Lanc- ers' spikers treated the fans to an exciting game of hard-hitting volleyball. The girls played exceptionally well against Port Washington, Nicolet, Grafton, and Brook- field Central. Strong serving, good court communication, and hard-driven spikes -.-,,,,.., ,S --Vs 3 r -.1 ,,, gained through hours of practice always helped the girls. Senior Sue Pelland added I think the team spirit and cooperation by the players was great. We knew we could be one of the strongest teams in the conference, and hard work and determination helped us reach our goal. Contributing strength to the team were Senior Captain and M.V.P. Carol Busche, Seniors Holly Johnson, Sue Pelland, Mar- tha Schauer, Patti Wahlen, and Linda Wandt. Providing depth and promising a strong team for next year were Juniors Leslie Rushman, Marla Goetzke, Lynda Hipp, Chris Nelson, Melissa Mundt, and Sophomore Jeannine Hintz. Junior Marla Goetzke has high praise for Leslie Flushman, Toward the end of the season, she was our best spiker. From the beginning to the end of the season, she really improved. To tell the truth, l think she'll vie for M.V.P. next year. UQ Junior Chris Nelson goes up for a spike on a Graf- ton opponent. f2j Senior Sue Pelland puts one over the net.
