A Kick- Gff For Soccer GIRLS' TEAM START THEIR FIRST SEASON This year was the first year in our school's history to have a girls' soccer team. The main reason for be- ginning a soccer team for girls was to see the interest in it. The main accomplishment was getting soccer for girls started at the high school, Coach Carol Hosmer said. In order to start the team, they needed at least eleven players. The Varsity Team was comprised of the girls that came out and played with the most enthusiasm. The beginning of the season was a learning experience for all the girls. Many mistakes were corrected as the season wore on. Toward the end of the season, the players worked together against great odds to defend their goal and finally to reach their ultimate goal - a win. Coach Hosmer hoped that Girls' Soccer would survive and that there would be more participation in the coming year - julie Clark Top: Monique Mondragon, Camille McCoy, Coach Carol Hosmer: Miquel Ramirez, manager: Felicia Muriella, Debra Iogopulos, Hilda Villalobosg 2nd Row: Raquel Ramos, Sally Davis, Evan- gelina Esquivel, Bertha Ramos, Alicia Esquivel, Lidia Fernandez, Xeochi Torresg Bottom Row: Tracey Conlin, Iulie Phan, Evette Castillo, Kathy Austin, Elnora Castillo, and Maria Lopez Girls' Soccer , . . l

Tennis Lures ew Members SINGLES GET IT TOGETHER Many new members played on the Varsity Boys' Tennis Team. Coach Ken Stott said that the good turnout was a result of word of mouth. Many returning members brought their interested friends along. Newcomer, Mel Dolor said that his reason was different, I felt the need to become active at PHS, this year, because I had not participated in any organizatins during my fresh- man and sophomore years. Like Dolor, two thirds of the team were new. These rookies were inspired, on the court, by the veteran singles. First year tennis player, Louie Martirez, agreed, As a team, we all got along. The senior members al- ways helped new members. The team's greatest strength was in singles. We were inexperi- enced, but enthusiastic in our doubles teams, Coach Stott said. - Rocelia Hernandez PRESENTING . . . Top row: Coach K. Stott, R. Baclig, G. Reyes, R. Cuya, S. Rivers, F. Wood, V.

Team Soars To New Heights GIRLS SHOW THAT PRACTICE DOES PAY OFF With seventeen freshmen, so- phomores, and some juniors and a brand new coach, Annis Skousen, the I.V. Softball team was fired up and ready to go. The girls started practicing ev- ery day after school for 11!z hours working on pitching, hitting, run- ning, throwing and catching. The majority of the girls had previous softball experience playing in elementary and jr. high school which made it quite challenging for the new players. I really like Coach Skousen, she's a good coach and a great per- son. We are lucky to have a coach with as much dedication to her team as she is to us. commented newcom- er Sheila Cabrera. All in all the I.V. Softball team had a good season making their main objective to have fun as well as work hard, and to bring the girls together as friends both on and off the field - jennifer M Dimarob I'VE' GOT IT' Lea Mostrella and Marchelle Nolan both prepare to scoop a ground ball.
