Alive-n-Kicking The team consisted of only four- teen players, but despite its small size, the 1986 King Girls Soccer Team managed to grab a District Five cham- pionship and maintain a season record of 10-4. Made up of mostly sophomores and juniors, with only five seniors, the team was basically unseasoned. There were only three seniors who started all three years. stated Coach Cathy Tintera. We were basically inex- perienced, but we did well. Practicing every day after school, the girls, led by team captains Liz Young, Kelli Ayres, and Nikki Hawkins, worked on the offensive attack and other drills. Having a strong defense and offense helped make up for the weaker midfield, but Coach Tintera stated. Next year if we get a couple of midfielders and don't lose any players, we should have a stronger team.

Who’s on First? The King Baseball team had an outstanding season. They per- formed well as a group and acted as one big happy family. The team attend- ed church together just before the season began and also had family get togethers in school with the team's parents. Hitting was outstanding. Even the starting sophomores hit extremely well. However most of the heavy hitting weight was carried by the junior and senior players. With the speed of Derrick Pedro and Gary Matthew, added with the power of Derek Bell, the team usually scored in the first inning. But hitting and scor- ing were not all that they depended on. All players felt very strongly that they must be able to keep a lead when they have one through good pitching and protection of the bases These two fac- tors made up a great deal of the game. Coach Macaluso stated the team was trained in the fundamentals of the game; that's why they were so suc- cessful; and the support of the bench was also a major factor.
