Moving Upfield GREAT YEAR FOR JV TEAM Over all, this year's JV soccer team had the best season for a JV team since the program started five years ago. According to Mr. Peter- son the JV coach, the team's defense was excel- lent due to many good de- fensive players like Trenton Qlick, John Saler, Dustin LaMarche and Tim Rhodes, lie also noted a tremen- dous improvement in their goalie Jason McClung. It took awhile for this Junior Varsity — Back: Head Coach Dave Peterson, Trenton Qlick, Tim Rhoades, Dustin LaMarche, Plate Kruse, John Saler, Eric Chase, Bergen Swanson Ass t Coach Tony Cesena. Front: Shawn Atkinson, Ryan Maxwell, Jeff nelson, Jason McClung, Harold Schorr, Bill Hopper, Jon Chase. team to come around be- cause of all of the new freshmen. But once they got started they were hard to stop. The team ended the year with a record of 10 wins and only 5 losses, they were 5-4 in S.O.C. play. As the year progressed the players learned to cov- er certain areas on defense, and to move to the open areas on offense'' replied coach Peterson. There were many leading players such as captains Nate Kruse and Brian Engel. En- gel and Kruse were the team leaders on the field, they gave a certain stabilty to the team. When asked what his most memorable moment was Engel replied, Beating North Medford, because they were sup- posed to be a really tough team. At the end-of-the-year awards banquet, Trenton Qlick recieved the coach's award and Nate Kruse earned the Most Valuable. Over all it was as out- standing year for JV soccer and these young men should be a great addition to the varsity program next year.
