A Leorning E perience For Future Success he 1983 Girls' Soccer season was often a winning experience and always a learning one. The JV team, with returning players turned the season around from the previous year and finished with a winning record. They started the season slowly due to very few outdoor practices. Perhaps they were not yet used to playing together as a team. Suddenly, the girls came on much stronger and won a string of 6 in a row. At the end of the season, a few girls were honored with some special awards at the banquet. Gingie Thomp- son and Ann Kilgore received Most Improved Players. Susan Clark received Most Valuable Player while Jenny Whorf received the 'Coaches Award. Most of these girls will be returning next year and we Wish them the best of luck! The Freshman Team, unfortunate- ly, did not have as a successful season as the JV Team. One thing stands true no matter what - we all learn from our mistakes. And this they did. Only three players on the team had not played before so they did not lack experience. They were a typical freshman teamf' said Kathy Shea, a member on the team. In other words, they learned from their errors. In the awards department, Most Valuable Player went to Beth Szuhay. The only other award was Most Improved Player and that was received by Andrea Scampa. With many of these girls return- ing, all they need to do is win. Good luck! 0 l l THERESA DIPONIO MAKES an aggressive move to the ball away from a West Hills player.

AT FOREST LAKE CC, Senior Eric Troelsen prepares for a difficult shot next to a tree. Rocky Roland M eoholm Swingers Seize Second in SMA ond Fifth in Stote he 1983 Seaholm Golf Team continued its dominance in the sport once more this year. Under the leadership of Coach Alex McInnis and great golfing by john Burk, Chris Beechum, and Darrin McBride, the Golf Team went to an 8-4-0 record overall, 5-2-0 in the SMA. The team rallied from a second place finish in the SMA league meet, to a fifth place finish in the state meet. Coach Mclnnis called his players survivors for their clutch performances during an inconsistent year. The Golf Team consisted of only four seniors, John Burk, Eric Troelsen, Matt Wilson, and Pete Hogland. Assistant Coach Don Wadsten des- cribed their plight when he said, Even though they did so well for a young and inconsistent team, this was a rebuild- ing year. Next year will be the winning year. Next year will be a more exper- ienced team as four of the top five golfers from this year's team will all come back next year. These top four juniors are Darrin McBride, Chris Beechum, john Everhardus, and Matt Davison. They shall all go for the quest that they came four short of this year, being the number one Golf Team in the state of Michigan. 0 Bovs GOLF 199
