Team captain Paige Smith ex- plained, 'llt's the team's way of getting 'up' for the game. The growling puts us in a good mood, ready for the competition. Finishing the season undefeated, all agreed that the key to their success was uni- ty. Coach Mary Cooper called them The best team l've ever had. Zoe Anastas said, HWe join together to get things done. Every- one gets along with everyone elsef' Judy Egan added, K'We're all friends, we stick to- gether and push. Another plus besides cooperation is our strong fundamentals. We don't have any weak areas, stated Cindy Beers. Each game radiated with the team spirit and devotion felt by each girl. i'Everyone wants to win and tries harder. Our spirit really brings us alive, expressed Susan Napierala. Enthusiasm pre- vailed on the court as the girls cheered one another on and growled. Coach Cooper credited her team's success to three key factors. First, the team has a lot of depth. Any six girls on the team are good enough to win league. Second, they all sup- port each other. And third, Coach Sarver- Reis worked with them over the summer, they came to me ready to play. At the end of the season Paige Smith re- marked, 'iWe work well together. Everyone has a lot of talent. Even in one season I saw my teammates strive for more and improve. Back left: J. Egan, J.

Cross Countr All In The Family by Jon Jaro The fact we do so well is because of the coaching, our willingness to work, and the dedication and unity of the team. In this single statement, first-year runner, Lysha Younker, captured the entire essence of this year's J.V. Girls' team. Like the Boys' J.V. team, they enjoyed quite an excellent sea- son. The lady Titans finished the Palomar League competition undefeated, making them the league champions. In addition, they also fared rather well at the invitationals. Their results were: 3rd place - Dana Hills Invitational, 2nd place - Mt. Carmel Invita- tional, lst place - Southern California Invi- tational, and 2nd place - Mt. San Antonio Invitational. The coaches, namely Coach Em- brey, were key figures in shaping the girls, team into one winning unit. Coach Embrey, who was making a difficult transition from Football to Cross Country, had a significant impact on the team. Katie Merrifield, another first-year participant, said, Mr, Embrey is a big help. I-Ie's a special coach. I-Ie wants everyone to do well, replied one person. The girls gladly returned the favor by work- ing at an extremely intense level, and always as a team. Furthermore, they always gave each other plenty of encouragement, which brought about a sense of togetherness within the team. With such positive outlook towards Cross Country, there was no possible way these ladies could go wrong. And, as a result, they emerged winners through and through. , .,,,,. , ,,,, If L , Q .VKVV gwfv g., irimwgg,,,H:w?, ,,..,, ,,,, , .,,..,,,, ,, ,,,.,,,,, .,,,, 16 rrrr I I ,f-- ,aria w r- fav 1 'ii i ....

Y Cheri Boyer sets the ball to a teammate during an intens Spiking for Success By Jennifer Stampfli Eat Nailsf' a favorite cheer from last year, psyched the team up before their games and gave them confidence. Titan spirit and motivation were further enhanced by warming up to Chuck Berry tapes, Team- work and intensity, two key factors in volley- ball, were strong assets for the Poway team. Lynell Stokes commented, t'We possess a great deal of to- getherness and talent. Team unity makes us a great big family, Christie Hoover added, This year we've come together as a Deanna team. We work together to win and don't play as indi- Anastas vidualsf' Only five of the twelve team members were play- ing Varsity for the first time. This gave Poway a strong team of returning players, all with ex- ceptional athletic talent. Coach Lisa Sarver- Reis considered the inexperience of the new members an advantage. The young players are hard-working and always willing to im- prove. Amy Boyer also saw improvement throughout the yearg 'll've seen my team- It's an emo- tional highf' mates go from Lok, players to top-notch ones. They attribute their success to strong fun- damentals and their great coach. Cheri Boyer explained, The team has lots of depthg in general there are no weak areas. Passing and hitting are es- pecially strongfl Coach Sarver-Reis agreed and added, f'We have great in- dividual talent. My philos- ophy as a coach is to strive for the best the team is ca- pable of and to work with the talent the girls havef' About their coach, the entire team felt, She's tough but she's great! Added Charry Korgel, L'She's very intense and expects our best but she's brought us a long way from the beginning of the season. The team's hard work and dedication were rewarded by finishing first in the Palomar League. At the beginning of the season Linda Bertran predicted, t'We have a very good shot at C.l.F. and hopefully we'll get past the first round in state, a first for Poway.
