Goacrr rants ovnn nnoo TEAM EXHIBITS BETTER GO0BDl ATl0 Humor and personal assessment pull the JV girls together to work as cz team. It teaches me not to be so self- ish and that I can't always have my way? QV n Saratogal was playing in the varsity game. When I went to shootl thought a girl was going to foul me, but she didn't and I shot all the way over the back board. Mr. Ehlers stood up with both arms straight in the air and said, 'It's good,' like in football for a field goal, Sophomore Traci Platts said. The J V team had some funny experiences this season. One day Mr. Ehler's left the gym to go get the balls, and he tripped over a broom and fell right on his face, Platts added. The girls quite often analyzed their teammates. Sophomore Stephanie Eyre f ' ' ' E at .wt waffm v ' I ,- ? F vi, ,,-' said, Angie Sawyer made the strongest showing. She spent lots of extra time with coach and worked her hardest to do her best. Stefanie Thomas made the strongest showing on the team because at the begin- ning of the season she was a bencher. Over the season she became tougher and showed her stuff. By the end of the season she was playing a lot in the games, added Sopho- more Teresa Vigil. Sophomore Tami Scott noted, Stephanie Eyre made the strongest showing because she began on the JV team and worked hard enough to be a starter on the varstiy team by the end of the season. The JV girls basketball team leamed to work together. We started our season a little shaky, but most of the time we played well together, Scott said. The team has worked together well since seventh grade, said Sophomore Stefanie Thomas. We will do really well in the future, we are learning what it takes to build a winning team. During the season the girls had reached personal accomplishments. My personal accomplishment this season was to be able to get the ball down to our basket, Eyre said. Basketball helped develop the players' character. lt teaches me not to be so selfish and that I canit always have my way, said Vigil. I have four other girls that I have to work with?

99 INNERS SHATTER REGDRD I RES!-IME MAKE WAVES Young team has portentous begmnzng, becoming belzevers in themselves. Having a good attitude and knowing you can do it is the key to pulling through in any sport. ne of the best swim seasons ever, said Head Swim Coach Jim Levine. We qualified nine lady finners for state and broke almost all of the school records. Although the team broke most of the records, it didn't happen until late into the season. Our weakness was that we were a young team and inexperienced in major meets, which will only improve with time, said Levine. We began with the girls not believing in them- selves. At mid-season they began doing things that they didn't think they could do. By the end of the season it worked out so that they were doing things they never Having a good attitude and knowing you can do it is the key to pulling through in any sport. We worked a lot on thinking up. Sophomore Stefanie Thomas said, Swimming taught me a lot about mental toughness and helped me to do better in all that I do. It helped me to get in shape and to feel better about myself. The hard work, good attitudes, and mental tough- ness showed as the team placed 10th at state and overall had one of their best seasons in a long time. The team set new records in everything but the 200 I.M. Relay, the 500 freestyle, the 100 back, and diving. Freshman Michele Nelson thought they could have said, I accomplished many accomplished. of my goals but I could have Junior Annette Isom said, and should have broken more f . . b 'ff' J , W 9 ,, . 1 . records and improved my times more. Coach Levine helped me a lot and I intend to improve much more. No seniors were on the team. Two juniors and four sophomores were augmented by five freshmen. Besides breaking many of the records and working hard the team had a great deal of fun. Isom said, Our team was really close. We worked together to keep a positive attitude. Because we were close we were able to be ourselves and we got to have a lot of fun. State was the most fun. On the way to Gillette we ratted everyone's hair. Then we went to dinner with it sticking straight up. Coach was so embarrassed he wouldn't even sit by us, added Isom. Levine said, It was a good seasong we had hard workers and a good basis on tech- nique work. We should be a good team in years to come. Dana Vercimak Motherly love.
