It Be C illi ' Alex planted her poles on the outside of the starting gate. Racer ready, set, go! the starters voice rumbled. Alex skated strongly out be- tween the two bamboo poles, and the race was on. The course was a difficult one, but she was racing super expert, so that was to be ex- pected. Down she skied, keeping her weight on the downhill ski, establishing a rythm.

Sud- denly, she found herself in a rut, and floundering, she lost control . . . Braving the harsh winter conditions the ski team spent their Saturdays onthe slopes. Meanwhile, preparing for a career in the NHL, the hock- ey team checked opponents against fiberglass walls, sat two minutes in the penalty box, and scored the goals necessary to win.

A ski race could be won in one hundredth ofa second, while catching a tip could send a racer flying out of control. The hockey players had to be able to work as a team and as an individual. Skidding out of the course, Alex was about to crash. Finally getting her skiis back into line, Alex worked up her speed as the red and blue finish loomed into sight.

Capital tennis team will again be a contender for the State crown. This year schedule included tourna- ments in Lewiston, Pasco, Washington, and Pocatel- Io. The Capital Invitational in April has grown to one of the largest high school meets in the Northwest with teams coming from Washington, Idaho and Utah. Leading CapitaI's de- fending District champion- ship and state runner up team, are returning letter- men Ladd Williamson, Darren Gould, Hans Ad- kins, Rachel Zachreson, Kristi Johnson, Sara John- son, Jeanette Chapman, Lisa Clark, Trisha Graham, and Nancy Riley. Also helping keep Cap- ital a contender are Pat Schneider, Todd Santos, Terry Simmons, Erik Little, Karen Knight, Gina Mus- grave, Paige Slandlee, Dee Dee Smith, Lori Rischel, and defending State champion Becky Clayton.

A gentle breeze swept across the smooth green ce- ment as the sun caressed the tanned, Iithe group of young people, decked out in Ellesse outfits and carefully adjusted matching headbands. On the other side of town, thunder rumbled across the sky as the temperature peaked at forty degrees. Underneath a lone tree, several cold, wet play- ers, in sweats and T-shirts, huddled on the sidelines as their teammates tried to fin- ish their matches before the rain began again. From inside his car, the coach cracked a window and called, Keep playing, a little rain never hurt anyone! Which scerio sounds famil- lar? If one played tennis for Capital, the latter would sound more like reality, and the first like a sweet delusion. However, despite minor set- backs like weather and ward- robe, the Eagles faced their opponents with a fire, or maybe it was a twinkle, in their eyes. The season saw the return of several Senior lettermen, who provide depth and ex- perience, and the addition of many Sophomores. Becky Clayton hoped to repeat as State girls singles champion in May. Speaking about the team, Senior Greg Cassat said, The things that mat- tered most weren't that we won or lost, but that we had a good time. I think we made a lot of good friends, and in the process won a few tennis matches. Finally the downpour hit, the coach relented and stepped out of his car to coli lect tennis balls as the players raced to their cans. In our fantasy picture, the players strolled off the courts, barely breathing hard, to discuss their play. Doesn't reality sound more fun? They'd rather discuss Talking Heads.
