This year's badminton team had two returning letterpersons. They were Laurie Alberti, Sophomore. and Chris Sarna, Junior. The majority of the team was composed of Freshmen who did a remarkable job playing against girls with two or three years of ex- perience. The team's high point was their outstanding win over Cortez. The team won eight out of nine match- es at this meet, according to Mrs. Flesner. It should be an exceptional sea- son next year with more returning players. Badminton: Top row.

Freshmen set record with outstanding Justin Pinnt and Rick Ross gang up to tackle a Greenway player. Saul Carrasco puts the final touches on a tackle of a Greenway player. SEHSOIT The Freshman Football Team fin- ished an outstanding season with a victory over Washington, making their record 7-I, the best record in ten years. We had hoped to go undefeat- ed and came very close to that, but we are still very excited, said Pat Lindmark, head coach. The Freshmen were impressive with their ability to come together as a team with tremendous confi- dence and pride. In two games they were behind in the fourth quarter and then came back with a scoring drive to win the game. The team won its first game against Shadow Mountain C27-OJ followed by wins against Green- way QI7-6j, Prescott CIS-DJ, Thun- derbird C24-OD, Horizon C24-OD, and Sunnyslope QI-l4D. The only defeat was against Cortez CII-l4J which was followed by a win over Wash- ington C33-OJ to finish an almost perfect season. After every victory, the team would gather in the center of the field to sing the fight song. At the assemblies after a win, the team would count off its winning score in a series of chants. The team was led vocally by Tony Pelopida and by example by Gregg Goss, Shane McCord, Tom Trier, and Victor Sierras, com- mented Coach Lindmark. Our main goal was to establish a win- ning tradition because these fresh- men will go on to be the nucleus of PV teams farther down the road. ll7
