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.

Quest for perfection Shooting for the best! The boys' basketball team was both experienced and big. They hoped for an excellent season record, even though their loss to St. Pete was due to a lack of practice time as a group, said Coach Dave Red- ding. He also commented that they had a much better team attitude this year, and eople seemed more concerned with Illiow the team was doing rather than How am I doing? All-conference players land seniorsl Tony Brown and Scott Rismiller return- ed from last year. Seniors Sherman Evans, Iohnny Childress, Selwyn Brown, Charles Henry, and Kevin Oliver added leadership. Newcomers to the team were Tori Eva, Leon Stephens, Willie Cainer, Re gie McKinnie, and Albert Maynard. Tlgiey played a key role and will be counted on in the future, Coach Reddin summed up. Scott RismiTler stated, This year's team is much more experienced than last year's. The team last year didn't know what to ex ect from Coach Red- ding. Now, they Iknow what to expect. Also, they aren't concerned about how many baskets they make. Instead, they think about if they are going to win or not. This year's team is more intelligent and works better as a team. Teamwork, an obvious necessity, held them together. Iust to make sure. Dunks are usually considered one of the safest shots in basketball. Senior center ill al ' it i Two more for Tony. Iunior Tony Brown, constant- ly among the area's scoring leaders, slams in two more. His 23+ scoring average led the team and placed him atop the Pinellas County Conference scoring heap. 140 BoYs' vARsiTY BASKETBALL Charles Henry took no chances when the Vikings traveled to Clearwater.
