VHI' TEETH . . . The Varsity Soccer team made the first round of playoffs as a wild card. The team had a strong defense with Peter Swartz, Eric Puchner and Steve Shlens leading the other members in keeping the opponent's from scoring and stealing the ball. The defense was so strong that only one team scored more than three goals against Chadwick. All the games were close, and each member was crucial to the team's prefor- mance. Having few returning starters with and lack passing, cut short the offen- sive capabilities of the team. Jeff Karnes and Steve Flo-ance helped to fill the gaps, as they led the younger players. Next year's team should be league contenders as there will be returning players and key freshmen coming up from the junior varsity level. An- other boon to next year's team will be Coach Vargas, a past semi-pro player who will be coaching full time in 1988. 208 boys' soccer -r , , fm ' . Q Q ' Zvi-Sk.

This remark by Mi- chael Clarke sums up the season for the Junior Varsity soccer team. Inex- perience and an overabundance of goalies created a marked inconsisten- cy among the players. In addition to these problems, the emotional state of the players would dictate the out- come of each game. Although the team was plagued by many problems, the boys ended up tying for first place in the league. Re- turning players proved to be a strong force on the team since they gained experience and improved their basic Val' skills last season. The offense was mainly in the hands of Justin Gra- ham while the defense was led by Tod Seneker, Greg Reitz and Phil Clarke. H Head Coach Howard Coale often spent his time with the Varsity team. Therefore, Assistant Coach, Eric Muirhead, kept the players on a strict schedule of conditioning throughout the season. His workouts included sprints and long-distance runs. This effective coaching team helped the players to overcome in- consistencies and finish as one of the leading teams in league play. Coach Howard Coale . s ae A ,iv Q 4 SPRINTING FOR A GOAL!!
