The (k ' ffiisr pri ' p ares to stop a tliTcct ku k Below: Orfej brings the ball under control. Boys Soccer We finally did it!! Vindication at last. The Canterbury program proved itself this year with two emotionally charged victories over our arch-rival Homestead. It all stated late in January with strenous practices in the gym. The team advanced through the Winter Cup on its way to a nerve-wracking 2-1 victory over Homestead. The whole school was jubilant, and I guarantee that there s no one the team loves to hate more. After about a month of rest, the team began tryouts and intensive practices for the season. After a lackluster start in a 5-5 tie against South Bend Clay, Canterbury was unstoppable in the City league until a 4-1 loss to a fine Homestead Squad. The game was an embarrassment, but in the words of Coach Mauch 2 out of 3 isn ' t bad Canterbury defeated New Haven, Bishop Dwenger and Snider to reach the in- evitable conclusion: a showdown with Home- stead. And what a showdown it was. Eight overtimes, with both teams battling mightly. Finally, it ended. Canterbury had won, and the mood was jubilant. Then it was on to state. A tired Canterbury team outlasted Clay to become the first Fort Wayne team to win a game in, the state tournament. The season ended with a defeat at the hands of a highly skilled Munster team. But nothing to be sad about here. Seniors Orfej Najdeski, John Paflas, Jay Manno, Sean Eviston and T Casaburo, led the team to a terrific season and a 14-2-1 record. Thanks to Head Coach Greg Mauch, Assistant Jim Huth and, especially, all the fans who so wholeheartedly supported the Cavaliers this season. Right: The defense keys on the ball.

This year the Canter- bury ' s girls tennis team was bigger than ever before. For the first time there was a Varsity and Reserve team. The Varsity team was lead by Tarini Ramaprakash and Kara Snyder who helped the team achieve their great record of 6 wins and 1 loss. The record is something to be proud of because the team won several matches against large schools such as South Side and Harding. Greg Hershberger has been the Coach of the tennis team for the last three years and he is looking forward to an even better and more competative next year.
