Ouickness Sparks Excellence Composed of only three seniors on the nine-member varsity roster, the girls went on to ac- complish many surprising feats as they turned their weaknesses into assets. With the tallest player reaching only five feet eight inches, Captain Jill Lublin contradicted, Because we were shorter we were more coordinated and quicker. Also the girls that we had were all very good athIetes. For the majority of their season, their quickness and abilities paid off as the team went on to beat Highline for the first time ever, with a score of 41-38. Other highlights were the after-the-game pizza parties. They gave the girls a chance to relax while the stress and intensity of the game wore away. The JV team had their share of setbacks including lack of experience. However their strong defense helped them to achieve a balance season of 9-9. Sophomore Melanie Goff noted, Our excellent coaching by Mr. Doug Jansen and team unity helped us to really progress and meet our goals. C. Jacobs :Q J 1 IQ. -7 pkg I g dl W , ' ! i' - Ill C. .

Unselfishness Plays A Part In Success With several goals in mind, the Boys' Basketball team began their four month long season with a strong get-up and go attitude. These goals, as was evident in their 20-0 season, were not unattainable. According to Coach Doug Helgeson, their greatest accomplishments were playing in the Regional and West Central tournaments and winning the NPSL title. The Chargers were also recog- nized as the only team ever in the league to finish an undefeated season. Several individual players were honored by the NPSL with such titles as Tom Petersen and Jim Mast awarded as two of the five first team All-Conference players and Carl Vance as second team All-Conference. Jim Mast was also nominated for the Washington Stale's coaches award which is given to the top twenty players in the state. Kevin Torlai, Barry Frederlcks, and Mark Mansfield, holding a 3.5 GPA or better, were included in the All-NPSL Academic Team. Even though the team was highly honored, Coach Helgeson also stood in part of the spotlight. He was recognized as the NPSL coach ot the year. Although the basketball court was the team's stage, they proved themselves in other areas, too. For example, at Christmas time, the whole basketball squad bought Christmas dinner, includ- ing gifts, for the small children of a needy family. This is the most unseflish group ot kids l've ever worked with. Not only on the basketball court, but also in what they give to the community, praised Coach Helgeson. The sophomore and JV teams also pulled through their season with feelings of satisfaction. Sophomore Brad Garland commented, We're a good team with a good season behind us. We will definitely be something to watch for in upcoming seasons. All in all, Coach Helgeson summed up the players in one phrase, They're a classy group of guys - they won with class, and they lost with class. L.CaIt I I g-1-tl D.JOMson D.Johnson3. 1.
