Inexperienced varslty girls strive to Win The varsity girls soccer team at Round Rock has been working its way up the ladder for the past three years, according to Coach Gary Martin. Most of the young ladies on the team had never played soccer until they got into high school while many of their op- posing teams have girls who have been playing on club teams since they were six years old, explained the coach. Some of the Round Rock girls didn't even try soccer until their junior year, therefore their opponents have about a nine year head start on the Lady Dragons, Martin said. The most valuable players were Kate O'Rielly, junior, and Wendi Grant, junior. The most improved players were Theresa McKenna, junior, and Lisa Payne, junior. Most spirited players were Grant and Meredith Martindale, sophomore. Team captains were Tam- my Woehl, senior, and Robyn Hirsch, senior. A journey of a 1,000 miles begins with a single step and the young ladies have reached mile number 998, com- mented Martin.

V soccer characterizes team concept The junior varsity boys soccer team never gave up and played great defense all year long, commented Coach Hugh Cox. They did not elect captains or most valuable players because everyone was important to the team. On the season, the Dragons had a five, two and two record, turning in fine per- formances against Georgetown, Crockett and Copperas Cove. A later season tie with Westlake epitomized the hard working attitude of all the JV soc- cer players. Down 1-0 early in the game, they fought back, despite being slightly over-matched in size and skill, and scored a goal in the last half. All the players were at their best, Mike Martin in the goal, Rusty Peterson at fullback, Rudy Montalvo at halfback, Joe Her- mann and Daniel Brady at forward. More substitutions had to be made that night than all year, as the players were running their hardest. It was an an- ticlimatic finish when the last kick end- ed at midfield. The junior varsity. team had many good players. The team was made up of spirited and aggressive young men, concluded Coach Cox. The junior varsity boys score a point and attempt to retain possession of the ball.
