If we hadn't have lost five players because of the new eligility rules we could have been one of the best teams Crockett has ever seen, said Senior Shawn Loftus. In addition to the eligibilty problems the team was plaqued by injuries. One of Crockett's star players, Song Pak, broke his leg mid-way through the season causing a problem for Coach Willis to fill in a replcement for his positon. The team was really hurt when we lost so many good players to injuries, said Senior Tom o. With all the problems that the team encountered, Crockett was still able to beat their biggest rivals and top-ranked Westwood by a score of 3-1. Westwood is one of the best teams in the state. I think the reason we beat them was because the whole team was really fired up for the gamef, commented Senior Steve Hunt. Crockett did not play so well against the District Champion Johnston Rams. Loftus explained, The game had been postponed several times because of of snow, this made it dif- ficult for the team to get motivated. In the first five minutes of the game Johnston scored twice on us. We got down and couldn't get psychologically back up. Crockett lost by a final score of 5-1. Our strong point was our great defense. Our goalie, Bruce Marburger, usually held the other team to to one or two points a game, described Vo. This year's Junior Varsity team also did well this year with a 5-5-1 record. We're really looking forward to playing a good saeson next year, commented Freshman Sammy Moya.

With the help of ioubles team, Sophomores Stephanie Vaterman and Janna Herold C11-OJ, nd Senior singles player, Laura Lyon who placed fourth in district and who las considered by many of the of the 'layers and coach McHan as the number 1 player - this year was no xception. 3 Not only was the 1984-1985 season a ood one, but, according to Sophomore Vendi Heatly, it was a fun season, lso. Everyone had a good time, said Eleatly especially when we went to the Corpus Christi tournament. Laura Lyon agreed with Heatly. We ot to spend two nights there, and there Girls top off season with 12-6 record Year-round season grinds down players were other schools with people that we knew and that we hung around with. We went swimming and did a lot of things. During the fall season, we played the best, said coach McHan, we won many close matches. The girls defeated Travis 5-4, McCallum 5-4, and Lanier 5-4. Each one of those could have gone either way, but we came out on top. We really needed those wins, said Lyon. There was lots of support for the team at the matches. Without that sup- port, we probably would have lost. Acording to Sophomore Deanne Henry, Everyone worked hard every- day, but, there were some weak points, too. Coach McHan insisted The team needed to be stronger. Everyone hated the running, said Lyon. No one tried out for track, said Deanne, jokingly. We had to run four laps around the tennis court, and jump rope, too, said Lyon. The team did this before most games and at every practice. The Sophomores of this year need to make a big jump in their ability, because next year, they will be in the top positions, said McHan. Among these players are: Deanne Henry, Wendi Heatly, Stephanie Waterman, and Jan- na Herold. Also, Junior Lisa Hinojosa, and Freshman Karri Walker. by John Weeks top : Junior, Lisa Hinojosa, returns a serve that should end the match. left : Senior, Laura Lyon, serves, as Lisa Hinojosa sets up for the return.
