Lric Ixyooerg et physical ln a scrimmage against Creek, Sr. Chuck Koskovich attempts to pass rhe ball to Jr. Mason Hayutin. Scrimmages were held to give the reams practice for real games, As he eludes his opponent, Soph. Gary Wheeler catches the ball. Gary was one of the few sophomores on the varsity ream. Eric Rydberg LACROSSE lt's warl Because lacrosse games were often physical and competitive, many players dee scribed them in this manner. As Sr. Derek Weingart said, Bef ing intense on the field is very important, as intimidation leads to winning the game. When the spring season opened, approximately 90 stuf dents tried out for the lacrosse team, Coach Matt Beatty ace counted for this large turn out, stating, l'Lacrosse is a physical spring sport that has continuous action, It combines soccer and hockey as well as several other sports. Jr. Steve Bowman added, l'Lacrosse is a team sport, and everyone has a chance to handle the ball. Practice was imperative to the team's success. The prac- tices, including Saturday scrime mages, usually lasted for two and a half hours and consisted of conditioning, strategy skills, stick skills, and group skills. As a result, Jr. Drew Kitchell stated, We get in great shape! As the season opened, the team had an optimistic outlook. Sr. Todd Hess said, ln past years it has been more individe ual, but this year we hope to have unity within the team. Adding to the optimism, two new coaches were hired. Matt Beatty and Mike Romanski coached the freshmenfsopho- more and the JV teams, while Ron Castagna remained the head coach ofthe varsity team. Returning lettermen included Srs. Chuck Koskovich, Todd Hess, Jeff Cannon, and Jrs. Steve Bowman, Dave Reeb, and Monte Montgomery. The captains were Chuck, Derek, and Jr. Steve Devanney. While many players ex- pressed the desire to go to stare, Coach Castagna held a more conservative goal. He stated, l want to be able to hold our own in any game whether we win, lose, or draw. l'm taking this season one game at a time instead of look- ing ahead to 'key' games, Besides being popular with the players, lacrosse was also enjoyed by the spectators. Jr. Steve Guthery said, Lacrosse is a fast-moving game with plenty of aggressiveness and goal-scoring. 66 next.
