Freshmen Gain Experience The freshman teams this year had new experience. Along with chang- ng schools, they also faced new oaches. They soon learned high chool football practice was longer nd harder. Although their 6-4 record did not eflect it, the team showed a lot of letermination. The A team, led by Everette Jones nd Rico Rios, showed promising talent for the coming years. Our team's record could have been better with effort, stated Rico Rios. The B team did a great offensive job this year, and will contribute to the success of the teams in years to come. B teamer Humberto Her- nandez said, Football taught me to grow physically and mentally. kelly ontiveros I9 I ll9Cll00,iueLuqse1i

M Lady Generals Repeat Pla -off Role A new coach and no gym were two major obstacles that the 1983 varsi- ty volleyball team had to overcome before capping off another suc- cessful season. The Lady Generals were ranked second in district C13- 95 as they marched to bi-district play-offs for the fourth year in a row. The Ladies did an outstanding job, stated coach Ann Couch. Getting them to play together as a team was one of the reasons for our successes. The Ladies' season began in January with spring training. Daily running through miserable condi- tions prompted the team to select Hurt So Good as their theme song. In August they learned that Hur- ricane Alicia had destroyed their gym. This, however, did not discourage the Ladies. They took refuge in Hambrick's gym. Several members excelled in court play and leadership. Their ef- forts did not go unrewarded. Donna Rex and Linda Brewer were selected to First Team All-District and Evangela Wallace was selected to Second Team All-District. While adapting to new methods o1 practice and play, team members became very close. They developed the togetherness of a close family, sharing each other's joys and sadnesses. This team was basically com- piled of friends, explained Kim Vick. lt was great knowing that your teammates would be behind you no matter what. dps by
