BGOT CAMP SOCCER SQUAD S WEATS IT OUT BAYSIDE Gathered at the touchline in mid- field, the central core of returning Var- sity players strip off sweat-drenched jerseys and dirt-covered socks. The ath- letes viciously rip tape from ankles and gingerly probe swollen blisters and cuts. Exhausted, the clustered players are lost in an array of thoughts about the game that ended only minutes before. Wearily, each looks at the other. All have been playing together for at least two years, most three. That has got to be the best game we have ever playedf' said Dennis Ellard, team captain, summing up the unex- pressed feelings of the other five. This year's Men's Soccer Team bal- anced the loss of last year's seniors with the dexterous skills of returning varsity players, and the earnest efforts of first- time freshmen. Team standouts Dennis Ellard, Steve Jankiewicz, John Nichols, Brett Bormann, and Bill Wright com- bined with the serious endeavors of freshmen Mike Morales, Aaron Huff- man, and Jim Mills. FRIEND OR FOE. Qabovej Encircled by friends and foes, Dennis Ellard goes one on one with a Faith player. Individual ball control was stressed during the 2nd indoor season held throughout the rainy summer months. PURPLE HEART. fleftj James Morris, sur- rounded by weary teammates John Parry, Mark Samara, Steve Jankiewicz, and Brett Bormann, sustained the first broken limb of the season. This started a trend which plagued the whole team. Mr. Sommerville, unfamiliar with coaching eighteen rowdy soccer play- ers, ran practices with the help of team captain Dennis Ellard. Practice started with stretches, then led to the athletes' running The Hill , a two mile test of endurance. It gave me strength, said Gary Zimbelman, starting halfback. It picked me up and helped me practice to my potential. The Admirals' soccer season was a long one, from indoor play in June, to the Captain's Cup finals in late Novem- ber, for which the Admirals were ineli- gible despite their perfect 8-0 record. The team started the regular season with a 1-1 tie against Faith Academy at home. Then the Admirals fell with close losses to the Clark and I.S. teams. Base security conditions then forced a can- cellation of the season along with the PSSAA soccer tournament. I was looking forward to it, said Mr. Som- merville. I felt that we would have been highly competitive. SEASTORY OR FAIRYTALE? Qabovej Bill Wright, Eric Yengst, Anthony Vann, and James Mills listen to the halftime pep talk of an unpic- tured Mr. Sommerville.

UNCOMMON VALOR. Qrightj Brett Bormann makes a strong tackle for the ball. Captain Dennis Ellard fbackgroundb commented, Brett will jump in the way of anything. Balls seem to have a magnetic attraction to him. RANGE, SET, FIRE! Qtopj John Nichols shows the perfect form for an instep drive. He played one of the most physically demanding positions on the team. Controlling the vital midfield, he was not only the first line of defense but also a prima- ry attacker. HAIL AND FAREWELL. fabovej Mark Sama- ra reaches full extension as he adroitly clears the ball from two Faith defenders. Gary Zimbelman is in position to offer any needed support.

ME 'S SOCCER KI S OFF THREATCON BRAVO S TOPS SEASON SH OR T Get on the post! Mark up! Hustle!!,' the forward line yells from across the field, as the opposing team sets up for a corner kick. As usual the lady Admirals endured staggering heat, the rainy season, and the mud. The first week was the tough- est because we had to do endurance exercises in the mud. I thought my legs were going to fall off,', fullback Crystal Brown reminisced. Some things, however, were not as usual. A lot of things changed this year, commented Jennifer Naifeh. First of all we had a new coach and we only had five returning players. The season was cut short because of political unrest. Faith Academy and In- ternational School were unable to trav- el and Wagner High School and George Dewey were confined to base because of THREATCON BRAVO. So the season ended abruptly with the Admirals compiling a 1-3 record. Team captain Angela Anthony summed up the season, It was hard and a little disappointing but our atti- tudes were different this year. We want- ed to be a team and win.

Team captain, Angela Anthony, and fellow player, Carolyn Schultz, take shelter from the heat as they plan their strat- egy for the upcoming practice.
