The 1986-87 school year started off with a successful fall soccer season. CHS started with grueling preseason practices in the August heat, which contributed to the fitness and skill of the players. With much effort Canterbury pulled together under seniors Jay Manno, Orfej Nadjeski, Sean Eviston, John Paflas, and All-American Tom Casaburo. The team handily dispatched conference foes, displaying strong skills which led to important victories over Culver and Argos. After building excitement for the state tournament, Canterbury suffered a heartbreaking first-round loss to Bethany Christian. Canterbury came away from a good season with a record of 1 1 wins and 2 losses. The fall season was followed by intense feelings toward successful indoor tournament play. With the Winter Cup Tournament only a month away. Coach Greg Mauch was able to squeeze in five prac- tices, and the CHS soccer team was ready. January 31st, Canterbury opened the tournament with a much-needed win over Wayne, 5-0. After the shaky start against Wayne, CHS had to face the strong and hard-working Snider team in the second round. Canterbury came through with another victory by running past Snider, 5-2. Displayi ng its finest soc- cer in the next game against Bishop Luers, CHS beat them 4-1 and qualified for the final game against Homestead at the Fort Wayne Memorial Coliseum on February 10. In the championship game, Canterbury movQd past their rivals with a stunning performance and a 2-1 victory. Goals were scored by Sean Eviston and sophomore Chris Casaburo. Tom Casaburo was awarded the Most Valuable Player for the entire tournament. All in all, it was a highly successful sea- son and an optimistic foreshadow of future competi- tion play.

Boys ' Tennis The tennis team ended the season with a 3-3 record. The team was greatly assisted by Coach Greg Hershberger, who is a fair player in his own right. Seniors Peter Hershberger and David Sessions played first and second singles, helping the team with con- sistent play. The season ended on a high note as Canterbury defeated South Side in a close match, by a score of 3-2. Two other victories were against Howe Mihtary. The future of the tennis program is bright, as only two players will not return. The win over South Side will give the team confidence going into next sea- son. Best wishes to Coach Hershberger and the rest of the program. Thanks for a great season!
