Tcnni Hard Coaching Pays Gff By Naomi Kusano Coach Yarnell felt very pleased about this they had their tennis matches, Coach Yarnell year's Varsity team, and there seemed to be felt the strongest points in the team was obvi- a lot of competition , among the players. Al- though the team felt competitive, they still felt very close to one an- other. Everyone seemed to get along es- pecially well this year and no one ever felt left out. Stacy Harris said, The team is great. Welre almost like a fam- ily. We have problems, but we can always work them outf' The girls did many things together and were very sup- portive of each other. One of their favorite things they did together was gossiping and laughing on the bus coming home from their tennis matches, The bus rides home weren't the only fun things they did, as Deena Mueller stated, 'AI liked the way Mrs. Quaresma brought foods and snacks for us to the matchesf, Aside from all the fun, the team practiced hard every day, except when Top row, left to right: Coach Yarnell, Laura New- mark, Lisa Calhoun, Stacy Harris, Marni Brown, Middle left: Jennifer Lukenbill, Jodi Rosano, Whit- 66 Varsity Girls Tennis Coach Yarnell is tough, but her hard coaching al-J ways pays oft in the end. Jennifer 'Lukenbill ously Carla Quaresma at single, but she was also proud of the play of both doubles teams, Do- minique and Jodi Ro- sano and Deena Mueller and Laura Newmark. The gradu- ating seniors, Lisa Cal- houn, Stacy Harris, and Dominique Rosano were all this year's team captains. When asked what gives her the winning edge, Lisa Cal- houn answered, Knowing that I'm a senior and it's my last chance to be recognized for my athletic abilitiesf' Jennifer Lukenbill said, Dominique was always there when we need- ......., ed her and she would always make us laugh. The senior team captains will all be missed by the team and also the coach. HIt's always hard losing your seniors, added Coach Yar- nell.

For Heaven's sake, not the goal! The other one, not ours! Throw it to your team- mate, yes, the guys in green! To most people, coaching the freshman water polo team could have been disaster' ous. A few of the frequently used reasons for a bad frosh team are the lack of experience and suddenly putting seven guys in the water together asking them to be a team and per- form like one. Contrary to popular beliefs, this year's Freshman Water Polo team led by Coach Moore did none of the usual foul-ups, bleeps, and blunders associated with the title of Freshmen As stated by Coach Moore, They had an extremely successful season. It was definitely a team effort since everyone played in all the games. It seemed that the Freshmen went beyond their potential as they beat most of the teams they played, including several with JV players. They beat the competition even though they had less in-the-water experience lsince there were twenty-four players and seven positions on the field at a timel and practice. They only had practice three days a week, twice were before school for an hour-and-a-half.

He didn't get mad, and he was really understanding, remarked Shawn Ya- masaki. So with both the coaching and team talent, it was no wonder that Poway took first place in their last meet, the Frosh Tourna- ment. Tom Vertetis commented, We thought we had a good chance at coming in first, but we were still kind of surprised when we won. Coach Moore added, 'Alf they stick together as seniors, they have a great chance at CIF. Jeff Kline, number 8, searches seriously for an open person to pass to.
