The pressure to live up to their reputation was real- ly on the athletes and coaches after being named the best all s around AA school in 1981. State titles in foot- ball, boys basket- ball, girls basketball, y boys tennis and chess had been won that year and students 6 expected that it would O V happen again. Anything hx short of a win was met with J extreme disappointment and the attitude that the Aztecs would surely do better . next time. They would have to. This was Corona's last year as a AA school. y Most athletes dealt with this pressure by channeling their energy in-- to practices but there were still those oc- casional mistakes on the field or court. Another aspect of sports was the in- dividuals who pursued sports activities on their own. Outdoor basketball courts built next to the tennis courts over the summer provided such students with a place to shoot some baskets when they felt like it. Other students played tennis, bowled, jogged, swam and biked as extracurricular activities. Two changes were implemented thils year regarding the football field. The football stadium was dedicated to Haskell Hen- shaw, former athletics director, during half-time of a foot- ball game. . The other change was the building of a concession stand to take the place of the portable one that was used since the stadium opened three years ago. SPORTS DIVISION 73
