Golfers retaliated for state title Entering this year ' s season with confidence, the 1982 Girls ' Golf team ' s spirits were buoyed by the return of six lettermen from previous seasons. The team spent time sharpening its skills at pre-seas on tournaments, and their efforts were rewarded with a perfect 9-0 season record, including victories over Hug, McQueen. Sparks, Carson, Yer- ington, Fallon. Douglas, Wooster. and Reed. The Zone Championships were held at the Wildcreefc golf course in Sparks. Even from the beginning of the year, the obvious team to beat was Reed High School. The Huskies ' earlier victory over Reed had been slim and this time the Raiders prevailed with a final score of 499 to 116 506, a mere seven stroke difference. At the state tournament, however, the girls sprang bach victorious over all other teams, and with a 484 to 506, vengeful victory over Reed. Individual honors went to Christy Toogood who was runner-up medalist after a sudden-death play- off and to Lisa Siaggas who finished a highly creditable ninth. Other members included seniors Gloria Walker. Karen Oakes, and Susie Dawson; juniors Tracy Tripp and Kel- ly Foote; sophomores Jennifer Pace, Jody Conn, and Paige Finn; and freshmen Stacy Oppenheimer and Teresa Tripp. As the girls ' coach, Carol Steven- son, put it, We felt all along that this was our year.

Girls shooters hit the bull ' s eye TIGHTENING THE SIGHTS, Msyt. Ridderbusch helps Galynne Willcims prepare for practice. Continuing their winning standing for the fourth consecutive season, the Reno High School Girls ' Rifle Team won their conference division in rifle shooting competition this year. The competition was a close race between the schools as well as between individuals, who competed for individual trophies as well as team titles. The bey shooters for the team were Senior Robbie Harper and Junior Teena Ranee. Other shooters for Reno included Jenny Hubac, Galynne Williams, Heather Howard, and Cindy Hill. Robbie Harper plac- ed second and Teena Ranee placed third overall in the northern division, dominating most of the high scoring. Ending their short-lived winning streah. Reno High School ' s Boys ' Ri- fle Team took fourth place out of the six possible positions in their divi- sion. The bey shooters were Freshman Steven Anderson and Junior James Harper, who were sup- ported by Court Cardinal, Marb Thola, Bill Becb, and Steve Molin. Although they did not do as well as they had in the past, the team loobed forward to a better season next year with most of their shooters returning on the next team. Both teams spent time practicing and improving breath control and hand-to-eye coordination. They ex- perimented with each of the four shooting positions (prone, sitting, bneeling, and standing), loobing for the style which suited them best. Team members practiced before and after school for an average of three hours a weeb, continuing even after the season to improve their sbiil for next year ' s competitions. KEEPING HER EYE on the target while sighting her rifle requires dex- terity and concentration on the part of Galynne Williams. STEADYING THE RIFLE for a bneeling shot is one of the more difficult positions even though Jenny Hubach makes it look easy. 118
