Varsity Changes Attitudes Nothing clicked, said Coach Decker of the soccer team. Their season record showed nothing to the contrary. Although the Huskies had many chances to win games, they somehow let their opportunities slip through their hands. That is, until they quit beating themselves. At this point, the team concen- trated on winning games instead of worrying about past losses. After their second win of the season against Ramona, things began to change for the team. At the beginning of the season, we were always yelling at each other, but after the win we concentrated on our own mistakes rather than other players, said Matt Moy. As attitudes changed, so did the practices. Players entered practices with enthusiasm they lacked at the beginning of the season. The skill of the players improved as their attitudes changed. We began to do better drills and players started to enjoy the practices rather than dreading them, said Michael Spinks. During the games the improve- ment could be seen. More goals were scored and the team ' s spirit Despite all the losses, most of the players stayed with the team and gave it their best shot. Robert Jackson puts the ball back into play after an opponent ' s shot went wide of the goal. The Huskies were beaten by Ramona 2-1. 72 sports
