Team Infected By Spring Fever As leaves began to appear on the trees and bright red tuhps showed up across from the auditorium, strange things began to happen at CHS. Spring fever, a common seasonal malady, became an epidemic. The contagious dis- ease affected everyone, not least the JV-C Girls ' Soccer team. Happy and excited, the girls were anxious to get out on the field — they had fun with soccer. Said Coach Shults, The ability level of the teams are usu ally about equal — the teams that have the most fun are the ones who get the most out of it. Wendy Fuller, Lisa Duke, and Sonja Rasmusson were especially praised. The most important thing, he added, is that the girls on the team have become good friends. They had a good time, learned more soccer skills, and worked towards being on the varsity team. The girls worked all year, preparing for the soccer sea- son — volleyball and basketball helped to condition them. Leg conditioning of any kind was useful — swimming, bike riding, and jogging were some favorites, as were running and weight lifting to build endurance. Even though a lot of the kids on the team had never played before, there were a lot of freshmen planning to go on to varsity soccer in 1986. In 1982, soccer was a new sport to this region. Since then, the involvement has grown and more have partici- pated. The general attitude has been positive, and soccer has become a more polished sport. It has a design, an offense and a defense. It isn ' t just a bunch of kids running around in circles, and wondering what ' s going on, any- more, said Coach Shults.
