Fulfilling The Dream During their 1987 season, Madison High Boys Varsity Soc- cer team took the Eastern League by storm by capturing first place. Again this year the team showed the same desire for winning that was necessary to represent Madison. With the help of four returning senior lettermen, not to mention the new additions to the varsity sqaud, the team played well in the annual La Jolla Cup Tourna- ment, many non-league games, and the Eastern League. Under the watchful eye of Coach Hannon, the team prac- ticed several hours a day, and usually played two games a week. Returning as an assistant coach this season, former East- ern League all-star Todd Scott said, The turnout of fans at the games really inspired the play- ers. Along with the help from Brian Schnitzer, another for- mer senior returning to help out the team, certain members of the team felt it was one of Madison's best years for par- ticipation in the league. Junior, Matt Remmers said, It was a highly competitive sea- son, and I feel that we did well. Many of the non-gradu- ating players look forward to next season in hopes of captur- ing fist place. Senior, Chris Banta said, This was one of our best years playing together as a team. Once again the boys Varsity Soccer team has shown the dedication it takes to re- present Madison in the Eastern League. Front row: Dan Sloan.

Kickin’ It The Varsity Girl's Soccer Team played exceptionally well this season. Madison started with a big bang with a four and zero pre-season record (excluding the tournament) showing the team's strength and achieve- ment. For league, members ex- hibited impressive games against all of the other Eastern League Schools. With the new coach, Patty Jackson, things really shaped up for Madison players. From day one of tryouts, the girls knew they were in for more than just playing the games. Visions of hard practices consisiting of scrimmages, drills, and running raced across their minds. After the first few days of tryouts I was sore from all that running we had to do, said ju- nior, Yuki Takeuchi, also speak- ing for her teammates. And sure enough, after the team was selected, Ms. Jackson lead full work-outs, practicing from 1:30 to about 3:30 every school day . . and the work payed off. Definite improvements were shown in individual skills, team- work, and even personal atti- tudes. Junior, Carmen Chavez expressed that, The new coach, Ms. Jackson, influenced us to put our full effort into the game. Even teams from other schools were impressed and commented on the improve- ment of our Madison team. The coaches give a short pep talk discussing weaknesses and strong points in the game.
