Multi-cultures unite team together I feel that our record does not show how successful our season really was. Even though the wins were not there, I think there was a more important factor present. Our team consisted of kids from different parts of this world who were able to play together. This brought real enjoyment, and made the season, in many ways, very successful, said Coach Schmidt ot his junior varsity team. Under the leadership of Coach Schmidt the junior varsity team ' s spirit and pride rose to full capacity. Being new to the squad Coach Schmidt brought many new ideas with him and in return he learned from his players. As well as being a soccer coach Schmidt is a baseball coach. The team made a giant step towards unity as players from Korea, Iran, and Spain, all with different back- grounds, came together to understand each other. There were a few communication problems when the season started but the team achieved harmonious play at the season ' s end. I think that we were a much more capable team than the scores show us to be. We did not play to the extent of our full power, said Paul Rosenblum about the team. Outstanding players for the season were sophomores Scott Southerland, Hal Schroeder, and juniors Paul Rosenblum, Mohamad Bonakdar, and Peter Kim. 1. junior Mohamad Bonakdar guards Ocean%ievv Seahawk player as they make Iheir way down field. 2.

Nelson, Walker nearly invincible If our singles were as strong as our doubles, no one could have stopped us ' said Coach Mary Mraas. Many outstanding performances were shown on the tennis court this year. The doubles were led by the invinci- ble two, junior Tammy Nelson and senior Chris Walker, who together contributed their many victorious games to the tennis team ' s record. While the singles were led by junior Pa tty Bereczky, senior Karen Connelly, and sopho- more Lisa Curtis, who all three went to C.I.F. The majority of the tennis players agreed that Coach Mary Mraas, with all her enthusiasm, talent, and leadership helped guide the team throughout the season. The season ' s standings were an overwhelming 11-9 win loss record, which placed the Loara Tennis Team second in league in a hard division. The sophomore tennis players kept the team going with high spirit for they were known as The Tennis Team Spirit Machine. Next year when the tennis season bounces back, if all the sophomore and junior players return, we should have a most promising season! exclaimed tennis Coach Mary Mraas. 1. Senior Chris Walker, in starting position, just one of her many talents in the game of tennis, awaits an important match. 2.
