Soccer Freshmen grasp for the stars By Kristen Yamasaki Give 110070 of yourself, not just 100070. I want more than all you have! Is it really possible to give more than what one has? Well, this year's Freshman Soccer Team proved that by dedication, teamwork, and practice. Those extracts could be seen as the Freshmen pushed into first place and maintained that ranking throughout the sea- son. A lot of the credit was due to the coach- ing of Tom Martin. Mr. Martin is a good coach because he pushes us to do the best we possibly can and, give it our all. He works us very hard but he doesn't do it to be mean but, for our own good, and we appreciate it,', s s OPPONENT . gh Lost it El Camino .,,. ,r..s2 i , ,,.,.r' 5-o ,..,.. ,. 1 ,.., i g ift .tg San Marcos V, Vista Q S12 an e . .,-: g v S D tt.

The team did soak up what Mr. Martin said using both their new knowledge and our natural talent, re- marked Shane Motts. Everyone tried to im- press him so we were highly competitive. We argued during practice but, during games, we worked as a team. Since everyone was so competitive, the team captains rotated for every game so everyone got to lead the team at least once, stated goalie, Omar Al Nasser. When asked about how next year's team would do, Eric Freund 1431 replied, I hope next year's Freshman Team is really good so they can keep up the reputation we set for them. Our team was competitive and skillful, with an added luxury of a good coach. These ingredients made our team dominant Shane Motts smiles as he awaits in anticipation for the ball which he is suppose to block. , San Mlarcos A 5'OT P 'Vista . ,,. O-0.

Back in the mid Nineteenth Century of the United States, ri- vals of competition thought it prevented new advances in technology and ruthlessly stamped out the weak. Now however, in the Twentieth Century, competition is praised An excellent example of the competitive spir- it was very evident amongst the Junior Varsi- ty Boys Soccer Team. The one word quoted most frequently was Competitive.,' Be- cause the competition was so high, we knew we had to work harder to be betterf' re- marked Kevin Legg lff9l.

Everyone workes together and both Danny Legg, our captain and Ryan Nutting, our co., did a good job keeping team spirit high, commented Bill Funk lrf4l. Not only skill, or natural talent made this team. The words of Coach Tom Schwartz could be heard to inspire and teach. t'Our coach is really good. l-le cares a lot about all the players on the team and knows how to Play soccer, acknowledged Brian Gillespie Q4r22J. The team took some time to reach its ful- lest potential and Adam Muslusky t4f20l ob- served that, Our team had a Jekyllfl'lyde personality. Somedays we can beat a first place team like San Dieguito. Other days we can't even beat Vista which isn't very good. Fortunately, we can play pretty badly and still be the predator instead of the preyf' With that kind of transformation going on, it was no wonder Neil Kavanagh replied, 'Cod knows what really gave us the winning edge so all I can say to next year's team is iThumbs up! vw 'ite' 5 N K .,:.
