Hard Workers Master Game Adeptness While the team strove to win the state championship, soccer coach Mr. Fritz Benedetti, a Ger- man exchange teacher, set out to expose team members to different game techniques not found in books. There's only one major skill every soccer player attempts to achieve, this being the ability to kick the ball into the opponents goal, explained Benedetti. As a coach my job is to make sure the team has fun while trying to develop the skills to get the ball to the goal. In addition to mastering game adeptness, team mates acquired sportsmanship while improving social contact. To improve overall performance, soccer members practiced diligently week days from three to tive-thirty to better prepare for Tuesday and Friday night games. When asked his biggest coaching challenge, Benedetti promptly replied, Getting along with all the player's strong personalities! He also added how interesting it was to watch the dif- ference between students in the class and on the field. ln sports students accept the fact that they can't all be superstars. They are more honest in their self-evaluations in the sports-fields than the classroom. lt makes them want to work even harder for sell-improvement! The team progressed all throughout the season, and at the end I feel everyone was playing at their highest potential, commented senior Sean Ouinn as Mike Kelly added, The team work- ed hard and everyone played together well. It made us a stronger team and allowed an even fun- ner seasonl H. Bratnschweig D.Johnson1, ,av- ,.lohneon2 1.

Improving Makes Winners ln the game of tennis every member of the team can be a winner, but it is the combined records of singles, doubles, and mixed matches that makes it so highly competitive within schools. The Varsity team consisted ol live boys and live girls, although with Junior Varsity, the entire team had twenty-tive students lrom freshmen to seniors. We don't have any superstars, but the players that we have are all pretty good. Our guys really have a lot of depth, and should provide some good competition, observed Varsity Coach, Mr. Guy Generaux. The girls also managed to provide competition lor teams like Highline and Renton, both thought to have been keen competitors. Though primarily the team was underclassmen, many players participated in summer tournaments which added to their experience. Several ol the players also belonged to local tennis and racquet clubs. These were especially appreciated on rainy days. However, cloudy skies didn't disturb the team's optimism. Captain Cindy Stenberg remarked, We just keep trying to improve and hope the sun will shine.
