Victor at last! Kicking off to a good start, the girls' soccer team finally gained their first vic- tory, without even stepping onto the field! Their first season of soccer started last year, but it left the team with a record of 0-10-1. It was the team's first home game of the season, scheduled to play against Gibbs, but because of the lack of players, Gibbs had to forfeit the game. This was an instant win. The team's next four games were not so fortunate. The second game, against Dunedin, was cancelled and changed to a later date, while the next games against Countryside, Tarpon Springs, and Seminole were all lost. During the game against Tarpon Springs, Ami Taylor scored the first goal of the season. The next game against Osceola was another first for the girls' soccer team. It was the very first game that the team won through their own efforts. The final score was 3-0 with the three goals scored by Christee Garrett, Shelley Marckese, and Ami Taylor, all made during the last half of the game. The team was coached by Mr. Ed Eloshway, who took over the job last year, after Mr. Don Howard had to quit because of a heart attack. The team was summed up by team member Nancy Marth, who stated, I think we're good, but we just have a few problems to work out. Fancy footwork! Christee Garrett shows off her soccer skills, demonstrating what it takes to be a well-rounded player. As one of the returning players from last year, their first season, Ghristee Coming through! Trying to fight off her op- ponents, Amanda Schubert tries desperately to gain possession of the ball. Playing soccer takes a lot of concentration and a watchful eye, which Amanda surely has. 138 GIRLS' soccER has contributed a great deal to the team. She scored one of the winning goals in the team's vic- tory over Osceola.

Up and over! Demonstrating his soccer skills, Kevin Martin performs the difficult kick known as the bicycle kick. Perfecting these soccer skills takes time and lots of practice, which the team worked on after school. In control, sophomore Scott Rebane tries to en- sure the team an edge by giving the advantage of a good kick in the right place at the right time. As goalie, Scott's job is to keep the opponents from scoring in the goal and to try to keep the ball on the other side of the field. E , W , 5 , Look out! From the look on the goalie's IScott Rebanel face, playing soccer is serious business. Anyone who gets in Scott's way will bein trouble! BOYS' SOCCER 137
