Scoring the first goal of the soc- cer season was Ward Smith, a sophomore. The leading scorer for the team was jimmy Knight, with three goals. Coach Tony Parra, a professional player from South America, had the experience and patience that epitomized a suc- cessful coach. In his first year of coaching high school soccer, Coach Parra provided the guidance and authority necessary for a functioning team. With this as their first year, the 1980-81 team es- tablished a good basis for the continu- ing soccer program. With its foundation established, the team's goal for the future was: C-oal for it all!

The Beginning Desire In an attempt to es- tablish a solid soccer program, Coach jack Tillman and the girls' soc- cer team began practicing early in January. For the most part, the team mem- bers were beginnersatthe sport. Coach Tillman was a beginner also. Every day after school, the girls spent two hours practic- ing, passing, shooting and dribbling. Midway through the season, the team lost one of its cap- tains, Yvonne Puchala, due to transfer. Despite this, co-captain Tammy Ortelli wasable to provide the leadership needed. Coach Tillman had this to say about the season, I believe the girls gave 'II09fb, and I'm very proud of them and look forward to working with them next year. I feel the following players deserve special recognition: Yvonne Puchala, for her out- standing midfield play, our strikers, Kelly Bell, for her soccer ability and Kit Noller for her power, and mid-fielder Gina Delmonache for soccer ball control and her ability to work well with both of- fense and defense. The defenders, headed by jackie Maffett, played powerfully well. Goalie Ioan Yates played as well as any goalie could. Team members and posi- tions were: Ioan Yates - golie, Kit Noller - mid- field fstriker fwinger, Kelly Bell - winger fstriker, Portip Tunutitum - striker fwinger, Bert Shields - mid-field, Gina Delmonache - center midfield, Saundra Mullins - mid-field lalt.J, Diane Newbould - mid-field, Rita Asevedo - mid- fieldfdefense, julie Neil - defense, jackie Maffett - center defense, Tammy Ortelli - left defense and Sherry Spruell - right defender. Months of hard practice paid off as the girls finished their season with a record of 'I-8. Although the Lady Indians were classified as 3A com- petitors their schedule consisted of all 4A oppo- nents.
