Soccer Team of Friendships By Naomi Kusano Our team consists of a lot of big-time players that know how to create magic on the field, expressed Charry Korgel. The Girls Varsity Soccer team had to make a transition from the disappointing . community soccer sea- son to a successful high school league season. f'The team, is Avery worth. The Girls Varsity team was a group of very good, skilled players who really knew soccer. They are all good friends and have played . soccer together in and I out of school for many years. Being all good, skilled players and all The team had a rocky ' - l f f 'l l' friends, we can easily start, with personal dedlcatgd play with one another problems, injuries, and en d with confidence and illnesses, but they had a . fp v f th wi, trust,'l admitted Carrie team meeting and Gelwix. worked everything out. Coach Bradshaw re- marked, It proved to be challenging in the .- commitments and attitudes of the playersf, Team captains, Suzzie Southwood and Kir- sten Pinnell were both seniors with spirit and good ideas. Charry Korgel commented, They talked to us when we weren't doing so hot. They lifted up our spirits and got unity between the players. Kirsten has been the captain for the past three years and she has extremely high leadership qualities and she is someone that the entire team can look up to and respect. On and off the field, she is fun to be around and is very confident and hard working. To me, she is the most well-rounded player on the teamf' expressed Wendi Ash- --redw- -'fw' f , -4- I When asked what she enjoyed most about fr f soccer, Lisa Appel re- g plied, That it's a team sport as well as an individual one, and you can always improve. Balancing their school work and soccer seemed to be no problem for them. There had been some late nights, but they managed to get the majority of their assignments done. As Wendi Ashworth stated, As an athlete, you develop a habitual schedule. On days that I knew I had a game, I did my homework the night before or at school that day. Dedi- cation like this from the girls proved to make a winning season, Graduating senior, Kirsten Pinnell added, I wish for next year's soccer team to go all the way CCIFIIH Linda Bertran controls the ball with style I Tbrkw raw.. jeiivfil rrtrhrf 'Gvrrrtr.tBitrdsiirw. fNIl?IT'?llg' fg'1f2if11sriSeEr1re,' Werdutrkewg lf1ri1r4 Hkaer1ri4kr4j?iftrr1H Kyle Clark races down the field as Coach Bradshaw I, , 'Ar'rl L. looks on patiently.

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. 'iWe practice ev- eryday afterschool for about two hours. We Pat Phillips puts all his energy into kicking the ball past his opponent. -rr 14,4 fd ,--' A A-40u.ow -.-.1 . f,:'?,-Sir 'il ii' 1+-vtdrwsf-,fff Standing: K. Legg, D. Rajsky, A. Banks, E.

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 .,:.
