r ith powerful force, Monica Coleman (14) sends the ball toward the al during practice. With the coming of spring. Coach LaCava and Coach Sonnek looked forward to a great season in J.V. soccer. Mr. LaCava, who coached J.V. girls, remarked, ‘‘Since I teach indoors the better part of the year, my coaching gives me an excuse to be outside.” Both coaches enjoyed working with the younger high school students, and they very often came into contact with those players who possessed a natural talent but needed to build up their con- fidence. It is such a wonderful feeling to see a young player with potential, grow as a result of building his con- fidence, explained Mr. Sonnek, coach of J.V. boys. In contrast, Mr. LaCava coached in the hopes of broadening his own horizons concerning soccer, while Mr. Sonnek coached for the excitement of the scrimmages and games. Both coaches, though, clearly expressed their enjoyment in coaching soccer and hoped they will continue in years to come. GIRLS J. V. SOCCKR: Team: Betsy Blades. Jill Belourne.

Pinch This year’s Bruin Varsity Baseball team showed the qualities of supreme coordina- tion and fitness from all its members. Though the team had many returning seniors, they were still able to improve with the help of their exhausting three hour practices. In early March, Head Coach Mike Wells was forced to face a difficult decision-who to choose for a skilled team. Out of the twenty-seven participants who tried out, only seven- teen were fortunate enough to make the team. The coach selected the team based on their attitude, fundamentals, skills, talents, and work habits. Coach Wells added, This year’s team has shown the best work habits I’ve seen in the last seven years. This helped us a great deal in facing our tough com- petition in the Northern District. With the help of their terrific talent, skill, and coordination, the team was able to pull off a fantastic season. Some team members give their complete atten- tion to Head Coach Mike Wells as he demonstrates correct base playing techniques. BOYS VARSITY BASEBALL: Team: Mike Acuff. Ken Brandon. Jeff Buser.
