Forward Approach Struggling through the first nine games of the 1985 season with a 3-5-1 record, the JV soccer team put their act to- gether and drilled their last five opponents by a combined score of 23-5 and thus nailed down another winning record for Monacan. Such a long term comeback displayed the true character and winning desire of the JV Chiefs and earned them a great deal of respect from everyone. It also emphasized Monacan’s ever growing dominance in spring sports and this past year did much to boost the school’s confidence in soccer. On the field itself, defense was the key for the JV team. Giving up only an average of two goals a game, the defense, led by goalies Dean Baddorf and Brad Lambert and defen- semen Ward Morgan, Brian Daugherty, Lee McCullough, and Billy Thomas, made the thei te “Nae, rg Ry 7 : Nae ee ABT lee 1985 JV Soccer Team task of winning easier for the offense which scored 48 goals, or an average of nearly four goals per game. Offensively, the JV Chiefs were led pri- marily by the feet of Greg Cousins and Brad Reeves who combined, scored nearly three-fourths of the team’s goals. But the last five games proved indeed to be the cli- max of the season and under the leadership of captains Ward Morgan and Steven White, the team found the perfect combination to victo- ry. Next year should provide new challenges for the JV team as they seek to keep a winning record despite the loss of several talented play- ers to the Varsity squad. Chasing down the ball, attack- man Brad Reeves only has one more man to beat before reaching the op- posing goal.

Hard Work And Determination Hard work and determina- tion was what the Monacan Indoor Track team’s philos- ophy was all about. The Chiefs went through vigorous workouts to prepare them- selves for the season ahead. With determination and ath- letic ability, both the boys and the girls teams put forth their best as evidenced by nu- merous broken school re- cords.

Page 78 Indoor Track were ready for perfection. The girls team finished fourth overall and had two individ- uals who broke school re- cords; they were senior Evanda Watts in the 300m and long jump, and Allison Fox, a freshman, in the high jump. At the Regional meet for the boys, the track team fin- ished second overall. Senior Eric Marwitz added points to the Monacan score by placing first in the high jump. He also broke two school records at Regionals in the 55m high hurdles and the 55m dash. Also scoring for the Chiefs were senior Ken Bark, who took third in the 1000m, and sophomore John Metten, who took second in the pole vault. The 800m Relay team of Eric Marwitz, Brian Cox, Kent In- gram, and John Metten took first at Regionals which ad- vanced them to the state meet. Showing excellent speed at the State meet, both the 800m Relay Team and Brian Cox, in the 500m event, managed to set new school records for their respective divisions. For the Chiefs, it was a season of hard work and record break- ing, which continued the tra- dition of excellence previous- ly set making Monacan ath- letes face up to the Chief challenge. And as Monacan continues to maintain its ex- cellence in all sports, track will continue its dominance.
