Kicking with Confidence WHEN THEY LOOK back on the season, the girls' soccer team should be proud of their accomplishments. The team had a slow start but things started looking up as they defeated teams such as their all-time-rival, W. T. White in the second game between the two teams. The Panthers also defeated North Dallas after the winning score in a shootout was made by a new member, freshman Patricia Schopfer. Many team members feel as though a better positive attitude was one main reason they played so well this year. Junior Myla McCandless made a com- ment that spoke for the feelings of the team as a whole, The year worked out better for us because we worked more as a team, not only as individuals. Practices were hard sometimes because of difficult drills. Pre-game warm ups consisted of stretching, run- ning a lap, shooting goals, and going through drills with the fullbacks and halfbacks. Leigh Sunshine, the center forward, was the key to the team's of- fense because of her speed and great skill. Lori Whinery, Patricia Schopfer, Carrie Pleasant, and Patricia Oates led the defense throughout every game with their strength and aggressiveness. The team members felt good about each other. Games in which everybody worked together turned out very impressively. The team went to Fort Worth for a weekend tournament in January and defeated one team with an outstanding score of 7-0, which kept spirits high. Although they did not go to the finals, the girls came away with confidence and a sense that they had played thier best. Some members were voted on the all-district first and second teams. Freshman Patricia Schopfer and sophomore Leigh Sunshine made the first team, while freshman Carrie Plea- sant, junior Camille Thornton, and senior Helen Harrison made the second team. Senior Patricia Oates and sophomore Krenna Weiss were awarded Honorable Mention. Senior Lynne Carr, captain of the team, has played soccer three years for the Panthers. Her positive view of the team is obvious. We've done remarkably better compared to last year. With many returning lettermen, and new freshmen, the team prospered throughout the season. 58 GIRLS SOCCER OPPONENT North Dallas 0 1y Pinkston O J lu W.T.Whlte, 3 1 .Thomas4tYei'tffersbngt 4s 2 North Dallas 3 Wilson 1 1 7 , .
