GIRLS,L QPCMTE S No way! Girls can play la- crosse? This was the reaction of many this spring when several girls got together to form a team which would be consid- ered as a club for the season. The team was started by Fr. Chessa Contiguglia, who dis- covered that it couldnlt be sup- ported by the school this year. She got in touch with Charlie Waldum, a JV coach at Heri- tage High School. Though the Heritage girls were his first pri- ority, he volunteered his free time on the weekends and some- times during the week later in the evenings. The coach devot- ed lots of time to us and was patient about teaching us the game. said Jr. Kelly Grie- SCITICF. Many were surprised to find out how different girls' and guys' lacrosse are. The two are two completely separate sports, said Waldum. Girls have to depend more on cra- dling skills since the sticks don't have pockets, there is a smaller amount of contact, and the rules allow for a much different game. It's a scrum . .. it's a beer- call. . .itls a line-out . . . it's . .. rugby? Yes, that strange sport of rugby, often seen being played at Cantebury Park, also caused many questioning reac- tions. Introduced last year, this club attracted many who were intrested in a rough and tough sport much like football. I find it exhilirating running down the field and hitting hard in order to get the job done! said Sr. Jim Geppner. The team was coached by Paul Hoskins who started them out last year and they practiced Mondays and Fridays with a game every Wednesday. The coach helped us lots at prac- tices, running, learning how to handle the ball, and formal scrimmagesf' said Sr. Rafael Sanchez. l In the future the team would like to be included as a school- sanctioned sport, but they are enjoying the 6'freedom of the present. It's a sport that can,t be taken too seriously, that would take the fun out of it, t said Geppner. l .lured Tron JR.
