'g,.:,.g -P,-V Q' Team shows skill For the first time in years the KingCo Soccer League was well rounded and it was going to be a real fight for the championship. As the 'I976 squad romped its way to glory most of the team's toughest players romped off to college as well. This year's team was a young one, consisting of mainly under- classmen. We had only two returning lettermen, commented Coach Don Hershey. As a matter of fact the whole mid-field was made up of talented underclassmen. The team spent a lot of practices working on basic skills, and Coach Hershey explained, l'm a very ardent believer in fundamentals. To show iust how dedicated this squad was they held practice at 6:30 every morning to run and get into top physical shape. These guys had the best attitude l've seen in years, commented Coach Hershey. They were always willing to learn new techniques and were con- stantly working at improving themselves. They were a great bunch of guys. l. Junior Roger Carlson comes from behind to take the ball away from his opponent. 2.

Varsity soccer a first for girls After a two year fight to become a varsity sport the Girls' Soccer Team finally pulled through. Ms. Tia Kinnear, adviser, worked with two former Newport students, Mike Smith and Laura Buck, and Man- ager Doreen Youderian. The season started March 28 and after two cuts the team was limited to thirty-two girls who were then divided into varsity and iunior varsity quads. Practices were held alternately on the foorpall field, baseball field and the new playfield in Newport Hills. Along with the privilege of being a new sport the girls received new uniforms, warm-ups, balls, nets and flags. When asked who the key players might be, Ms. Kinnear stated, There are no key players in soccer. lt's a team sport that takes the effort of all to make it come out right. In its first season as a varsity sport the Girls' Soccer Team, with an enormous number of experienced players, appeared to have the po- tential of a first place team. l.
