Contrasting Years: Rebuilding And PLAYGFFS Boys Wzrsity Team Reaches Playoffs Through Controversy Whrle Grrls Work On Improvement The outcome of the '87 season de- pended on many factors. The domi- nant one was the loss of one-third of the team's players early in the sea- son. Even though we lost so many people, we still thought we were good enough to win district, said Brian Partin. graduate. Larry Weaver was lost to a leg in- jury, Jimmy Johnson lost out to House Bill 72, and others such as Shannon Davis were dismissed be- cause of a judgement call from Coach Rose. He shouldn't base soc- cer ability on hair. lt's no judgement of how I play, said Shannon Davis. how a senior. Scheduling conflicts caused the elimination of others. Coach Rose was good, and l enjoyed working with him, said Eric Zender. graduate, who was among the six boys dis- missed for this reason. Some people chose to dwell on the positive side, despite the situation. The team practiced three days a week from 2:30 until 5:00. Coach Rose really tried to teach us as much as he could about soccer. The prac- ticing paid off when we made it to the playoffs, said Todd Davis, now a junior. ln the playoffs, the team faced J. J. Pearce, to whom they lost in Feb- ruary, and to whom they lost again with a final score of 7-2. Scoring both goals for the Raiders was Steve Arm- strong. graduate. lf we had all of our original members, we would have had a much better game. Maybe we wouldn't have won, but it would have been much more competitive, said Chris Carboni. now a junior. The boys ended with a record of 8- 7 overall and a record of 8-4 in dis- trict play. The Raiders won on guts, shape, and a lot of pride! said Steve Armstrong. graduate. The girls' soccer team had difficul- ties similar to those of the boys' team. There were four significant in- juries resulting in a decrease in play- ers. Low grades contributed to the de- crease, so positions had to be altered to accomodate the losses. The Lady Raiders persisted in their efforts to defeat their opponents despite the problems. We wanted to win for the players VIEWPOINTS The one thing l liked best about the soccer games was when we played like a team A lot of the time we worked well together The team had some new ad justments because of our new coach but that didnt stop us from doing our best Bettina Buch MGS The determination and team efforts of everyone proved to be rewarding and worthwhile because we had one of our best seasons ever' Shan Plum Each game was work so we never looked beyond the week s game Todd Davis that got hurt so we tried harder, said manager Amy Morgan. now a senior. Linder the guidance of Mrs. Flow- ers. who was in her first year as head soccer coach, the girls worked to make it to the playoffs. Their prac- tices were held from 2:30 until 4:30 p.m. three days a week. We had a chance, but we didn't go to the play- offs. We were very disappointed, said Kerry Freeman. now a junior. They didn't accomplish as much as they thought possible, but they were content with their improve ment. We had definitely improved over the past couple of years, and I think we'll continue to improve, said Kim Lambert, now a senior. -Wendy Watts Receiving the ball, Amy Box, now a senior, fulfills her duties as a mid fielder.
