Jay Hickman, Todd Smith, Scott Weathers reaming up or a successful season Although not a known )werhouse in Pinellas County, e Patriot boys ' soccer team had e ability to upset any number of ghly ranked teams in the strict this year. The team contained a lot of in- vidual talent led by co- iptains, seniors John Ferry and lane Chaplow. We always had e individual talent. All we 3eded was a chance to put it gether, stated senior Scott raw. As a result of practicing eryday for an hour and a half, oach Pete Conover was able to ork with the players in molding eir talents into a team. The district the Patriots were included in was most competitive in the state as it consisted of four state-ranked teams, Countryside, Clearwater, Clearwater Central Catholic, and state champions Tarpon Springs. However, as Chaplow commented, If the team went into every game with the right attitude, we had the ability to put together a winning season. Conover felt that the team had a good overall performance this year playing respectably even under the pressure of tough competitors. r BOYS ' SOCCER ■ 12 3 CCC 0-6 12 12 Countryside 1-3 12 14 Osceola 9-2 12 19 Tarpon Springs 0-3 12 21 Seminole 1-0 1 9 Clearwater 0-4 1 11 Dunedin 2-1 1 18 Largo 0-7 1 21 St. Pete Cath. 2-1 1 23 St. Pete 1-1 1 28 Dixie Hollins 4-0 1 30 Lakewood 4-0 2 1 Gibbs 9-4 2 6 Northeast 2-1 2 8 Boca Ciega 3-2 Senior Jay Strieker keeps on top of the ball as he attempts to sidelong his Osceola opponent. f BOYS ' SOCCER 203

Win together attitude strengthens soccer team According to Coach Joe Tomasovsky, this year ' s girls ' soc- cer team had many of the necessary ingredients for success. They had a kind of mutual sup- port that helped them to work together as a team, he stated. With tough opponents such as Countryside and Tarpon Springs, a positive attitude was necessary to overcome pregame jitters. Before a game, we would try to psych ourselves up to do our best individually and as a team, stated senior Lisa Friedlander. Tomasovsky added that the girls entered the field with a win together or lose together attitude.

Many of this year ' s players gave outstanding performances, which contributed greatly to the team ' s strength. Among those were multi-position player Min- na Laurikainen, goalkeeper Sharon Berry, both seniors, and junior midfielder Glenna Thornton. Tomasovsky attributed the suc- cess to the team ' s attitude this year, as well as their skill. I have a very coachable team, he stated. It ' s difficult to deal with players who won ' t work together. He added in conclu- sion, I don ' t have that problem.
