ps and do ns You win some, you lose some A hush fell over the crowd as junior varsity player, Cynthia Pawelek, prepared for a critical serve. Across the net, the Cy-Fair players waited in anticipation as the ball cut through the air. This play made their score 15-10 a great victory for the Lady Falcons. The Cy-Fair game was most rewarding to me because we had set in our minds before the game to win, and we never let up. We attacked and came out victorious, Mary Yee said ecstatically. The junior Varsity Lady Falcon Volleyball Team had their ups and downs this season with a record of six victories and six defeats. The Cy-Fair game was one of their ups, another up was the Oakridge Tourna- ment, especially for Sherri Buza and Mary Yee who both received All Tournament Player awards along with the team receiving the first place trophy. joyce Taylor agreed, The most fulfilling incident was winning the first place trophy. The team went on to challenge Cy-Creek their most eminent rival and came out victorious. Cy-Creek was a good game to remember, recalled Joanne Vu with a smile. It was a challenge and ex- junior varsity player Cynthia Pawelel slams the ball with the ease ofa pro. junior varsity player Kim Rodriguez citing, simply, we wanted to beat the Creek! Having a six win, six loss, record their season was not all upsg they did have a few disappointments also. The Clear Lake Tournament was among the downs experienced by the team, but they felt lucky since it was a good tool in making them a better team. The Freshman Volleyball Team had many goals before their season started, one of their biggest goals was to win district. Mary Eguia explained, Our team's main goal was mainly to win district. Our team has improved since the beginning of the season, but I don't feel we've reached our main goals. Although the team did not accomplish its goals, it had a victory at the Stratford Tournament when it beat Cy-Creek, the biggest rivals, in a two-game win. Alice Raffoul expressed her feelings about tour- naments, They are total blasts! It's great when the team can go places together and win as a team. Although their season was not renowned for its vic- tories, the team members felt they had learned to work together as a team - to be a team. ,.g, bumps the ball. judy Cole and Mary Yee are ready to save the ball if this manuever doesn't work.

ough Competition Falcons play with pride Basketball! a game of intensity, concentra- tion sweat and a lot of hard work. The members of the Varsity Basketball team do not take the work required for granted either. They display their own fierce brand of competition and dedica- tion in every practice and in every game. The team accumulated a 13-15 record overall and a district record of 5-7. Games against both Klein and Cy-Fair were lost by only one point. The Varsity team forced these opponents to fight to the bitter end falling behind only in overtime.
