Boys X-Country, the season in review The team loosens up before a meet. 'The 85 season was a fun one. This year's team was really a crazy group of guys,” said coach Jay Davies. This year’s season was a tough one as far as victories, but there were many in- dividual standouts. Cory Koski was voted most valuable and had a very successful year and capped off his season by placing 59th at the state meet. “It was a small group to work with, but they were a close knit group and worked hard.” said Coach Davies of his team. Team honors were given at the award banquet. Most valuable was Cory Koski. Most dedicated was Chris Anderson. Sean Clark and Pete Tucker tied for most inspirational. The '85 team was a very young one with only one senior (Pete Tucker). Coach Davies expects even better things from next year's team with 6 returning seniors and two juniors. Coach Davies said that improvement throughout the entire year was prob- ably their best quality of the year.

Girls Soccer almost makes state playoffs. With a record of four wins five losses and two ties, the Rainier High School girls varsity soccer team nearly missed going to the 1985 playoffs. The team was working at the playoffs going into the last match. However, with a 10-0 loss to Catlin Gable the team was washed out. Coach Bud Gilbert felt this year’s team was the stron- gest it’s ever been before, but it was also the most frustrating season mainly because of injuries and losing games by one goal. ‘ We would dominate the game but come up with the short end of the score.” Gilbert felt this year’s defense, led by junior Shawna Hadlock in the goal, seniors Reaza Reigle. and Chris Smith, and freshman Leah Cox. was among the strongest defense in the league. ’’Even though our offense had a minor problem scoring, we still had senior Kelly Parrot and junior Amy Sorenson in the top ten in the league for scoring goals.” Gilbert said he was impressed with the turnout of the talented freshman players. “The freshman gave us a surpris- ingly strong depth. “We expect a strong depth and future program because of this type of turnout.” He hopes there is a same type of turnout next year.
