To Achieve Goals, Good Attitudes The J.V. wrestling team set out to learn and use the skills necessary to defeat the year ' s toughest opponents: Edgewood and South Hills. Head Wrestling coach Tom Bergquist said he felt it was a good year because of the large, enthusiastic turnout for the wrestling team. Bergquist also ad- ded that this was the largest turnout since he first began coaching. Experience, stamina and a good attitude are all necessary qualities for a successful team. The superiority of a team can de- pend on the useage of these traits. There were many experienced standouts includ- ing Mike Cardona, Richard Kelly, Walter Matsudu, Burt Wolf and Ron Ybarra. These sophomores greatly influenced the strength of this year ' s team. Bergquist feels the freshmen as a whole did a super job and worked hard. Freshman stan douts, Al Matsudo, Matt Tapia and Anth- ony Vitacca also did a great deal to help the team as a whole. To build up their stamina, the team prac- ticed everyday from 2:15 to 5:00 to im- prove skills learned and further their abili- ties. The wrestling matches were generally held on Thursdays beginning at 5:30 with the J.V. team, wrestling first and then var- sity when the younger team finished. During the match against Gladstone.

Teamwork, Confidence Aid Girls ' Varsity Having confidence in each other is one of the main reasons the girls ' varsity basketball team had such a successful season. The suc- cess could be attributed to the 6:30 practices held each morning, excluding game days. Practices consisted of drills to quicken re- flexes and inner team scrimmages. The absence of Coach Jim Pashone was felt greatly, but since the team worked well together they easily adapted to the new coach. Lori Kildal. Returning players Wendy Costello, Patrice Douglas. Kim Stanfield, Ma- ria Tan, and Barbara Teunisse held the team together and better prepared the younger ath- letes for important games. The toughest op- ponents this year were Workman and South Hills. Although the team had a few underclass- men the season proved to be quite success- ful. Experienced as they were, the girls still felt there was room for improvement.
