Since they were so aedto flag football in their junior gh, very few of these young men new what to expect from high school iotball. :When I knew my nother was in the tands . . . Pm glad that I was on the Bull- Fgs, it prepared me for the stress and rain that I knew were expected from loach Smith? exclaimed Mike Mar- inez. After the first few games, it was evi- ent to the fans and spectator's that is year's frosh team was champion- ip material. More parents and iends began coming to the games to support this special bunch of guys. That's what really made we want to play my very best, says Eric Camp- bell When I knew that my mother was in the stands watching me, I wanted to do good for her. All the teams members were stars, but the ones who shone the brightest were Phillip Jackson, Elwood Williarns,andRickMarquez.Most valuable player, Phillip gave his all in every game from the start to the fin- ish. The coaches award, which was achieved by Elwood Williams shows that he is great on the game field practice field, and the campus. As for Rick Marquez, he showed his Condor spirit by earning the most inspirational award. It's true that the three outstanding players gave a lot to this deserving team. but without all the rest of the guys, these freshmen could never have been the Frosh Champions of 1984. fi .n..,4-4 ...ff 8 .9S4.ge4s,5t82,g2. 8,551 73156562 fa 13G34?'51fF535e?f f .ss '5'.?Lx'? mkf nl. 1 . rlgafzirgsd-53'i63A' 9.259 3 if 6 3 lg ei to -is .Ei ..o- 5. 1 i . is-EET 4.

58: U O I Servmg U I didn't expect volleyball to be so much fun because it was my first yearffsaid Angie Kryziak about this year on the team. But it was great! Playing Varsity Volleyball is not just fun and games: there's alot of work involved and an enormous amount of pressurellfhe winning tra- ditioniof ,North County High School weighs heavily on athletes in all pro- grams, especially on volleyball play- ers. NC are traditional heavyweights in league play and have added cham- pionship banners tothe impressive display in the gym. The pressure to succeed in such an atmosphere is heavy and even a competent finish is not enough for many fans. Thisgyeafs team was laden with tal- ent but never quite jelled as a unit. The ball bounces in a lot of directions and some years it doesn't bounce in 1ctor1es your direction at all. A number of close matches were decided in crucial moments when a spike or block by all league players just landed out of bounds. Even with the talent on the team, the Condor spikers still finished the league with a .500 record K6-61 a disappointment to some. An early season loss to Harbor at the Alisal Tournament was credited to exhasution on our part, but it prooved to be an ornen of things to come. We opened the league with a loss to Sequel, but then rebounded with victories over SLV, Marello, and Watsonville. Double losses to Harbor, Santa Cruz, and Soquel put us out of the money in a fourth place league finish. This year we had the talent, next year we'll have the team work to go with it.
