Q Freshmen B team player, Sta Kwkiefgwicz, waits patiently to l I'OII11SC 0 f0fI1OI'I'0 Freshmen and sophomores Worked hard It's new! That's right, we had a new football team - the sophomore team. These dedicated sophomores started practice at the beginning of August. They practiced twice a day for three hours each. Once school had started, the team practiced after school from two-thirty until five or five-thirty - depending on the workout. All of this practice payed off, too. The sophomores, were fairly successful for their first year as a new team. Coach Trial felt, These boys have done a really fine job this year. I am proud of their strength, especially for a team so small in number. The enthusiasm of the coaches seemed to reflect upon the players. Robert Barham, number seventy- two, said, This team allows all of us to play and sharpen our talents. On Varsity or junior Varsity we might not get the chance to play at all. Rob Meyer, number thirty-four, explained that be- ing on this team benefited all of the players. He stated, This will give us the experience it takes to play Working hard, Ryne Manaban tries to break his way out of the mound of bodies while Tom Anne looks on. Giving a worried look, Ricky Soto watches the game from the sidelines. - I .Ill I Varsity andjunior Varsity. Clyde Hayes, number sixty, gave his opinion very strongly when he commented, We aren't compared to Varsity orjunior Varsity, which is goodg and in the years to come, we will be together as a team - a win- ning team! The players on the freshman team came from Dean and Campbell junior High Schools. It was their first time to practice and play as a high school team. Allen Archer from Deanjunior High School felt, The prac- tice is much harder on us. I like the way we, as a team, work together though. Apparently, the A team did pull together. They closed their season 5-4-1. The B team gave it their best and tried very hard. Their season ended 4-5. All in all, they are looking forward to next year. 5 P-so 4- Chris Kalim rries to tackle his opponent asjolm Ganim comes to his aid.

128 alling short Varsity season la It was the last game of the '83-'84 season, the last high school game for four of the girls who were seniors. The opponent was one of the greater district rivals, Cy-Fair. Some of the players' most avid fans came to cheer the team on. Cy-Fair served first, receiv- ed the first point, and moved on to win the first game 8-15, as the girls bowed to the better team during that game. Overcoming the temporary setback, the girls came out ready to play another game. They fought for the first few points but acquired only another frustrating loss. As their final dink hit the net and slowly rolled back onto their side, the 1983-1984 Displaying perfect form, Donna Black warms up before her final high school game.

The disappointment hung heavily in the air. Even though the team had been working out since August 8, having two practices a day, each lasting two and one-half hours, they had their share of problems. This year's team was small. It was small in number, consisting of only eight players, and it was small in size, the tallest player being only five-foot-nine. Varsi- ty Coach Putz stated, Volleyball is a strenuous sport, both mentally and physically. I feel this group found that out. Hopefully, this lesson will carry over to next year, and the team will profit from the '83-'84 season. Good form is the foundation for a great serve.
