N ' Kickers gained valuable skills Dependent upon teamwork and communication, soccer once again proved to be an exciting sport at Reno High School. During the long and strenuous dciily practice ses- sions, Coach Tony Vegalatos helped each player develop correct soccer skills, never hesitating to prciise the team when they performed well. Competition during the regular season was tough and tested the stamina and skill of each player. The Huskies finished their exhausting season in the second place position with a 7-6-1 record; many of their games, however, were lost in the final minute. Unfortunately, the Huskies ' skill and determination fail- ed them during the zone playoffs cis they were eliminated in the first round by Carson High. Taking care of most of the scoring were offensive starters Paul Warren, Warren Rapp, Eric Ottenheimer, and John Batcabe. Helping defend the goal were John Nyberg, Dan Nyberg, Dirk Borgognoni, and Shawn Mat- thews, with Bill Clark acting as goalie. Other standouts were Ken Tank ' Brown, Chris Williams, Dan Siegel, Matt Duggan, and Dan Borkowski. This year ' s promising freshmen were exposed to conference play throughout the season, and they pro- ved to be a valuable asset to the team. It was unfortunate that this year ' s soccer games had such a low fan turnout. It is possible, however, that future games will not be played at the Governor ' s Bowl but instead on the high school fields themselves. Perhaps this might have a noticeable effect on fan turnout and give this in- ternational sport the recognition and respect it already receives elsewhere. KEEPING THE BALL from going out of bounds.
