Headed in the Right Direction There were some bright spots for the 1983 soccer team even though they did not finish with a very impressive record. Under the direction of new head coach, Don Asher, they won their first game of the season — 3 to 2 over Leonardtown. This was the first time a Chopticon soccer team opened the season with a victory. They lost several close games this year and won the respect of their opponents. Seniors Kirk Rankin, Brian Cain, Kevin Mon- tgomery, Matt Fastnaught, and Ricky Eastburn contributed a lot to the team. Mr. Asher expressed confidence that the '84 soccer team should do even better with Donnie Long, Tom Giles, Paul Krush, and Tim Shaw returning So it looks like the soc- cer program is finally headed in the right direction. They told me I only had to use my feet — John Simp- son heads the ball Mr. Asher, head coach and fashion plate, shows off Paul Krush, Tim Sydnor, and Donnie Long head up his new socks during practice. field in a game against Leonardtown 126 SOCCER

VOLLEYBALL 125 Bumping With Spirit Playing With Pride, Enthusiasm Keeps Team Alive Through Tough Year The Varsity Volleyball team finished their season with a 3-9 record. Although the varsity squad had only one returning player from the previous squad, five from the ).V. squad, and two new players, all of the ladies on the varsity squad were ex- ceptional players. Gail Thomas' serve was a great help to the team, while Tonya Trimbath and Tier Bush's spiking ability car- ried the team far During the in-school game, the Lady Braves were defeated by the Lackey Chargers. Even though the team's season wasn't a great success, they gave it their greatest effort. The junior varsity squad ended their season with an 1-11 record. Coach Ward and all the junior varsity players except one were new to volleyball. They all put out an outstanding effort to win. Hey Coach Krejci, my knee pads are loo light.
