Talk Echoes On Court hile sitting at a volleyball game, all you seem to hear are exclamations resounding from one side of the court to the other. ' Let ' s go Rubidoux! screams a player in the back court. After a scoring shot, reassuring yells of great shot! echo be- tween players. It was really impor- tant for the players to talk and yell on the court because it kept ' ' up the enthusiasm and spirit, said Kathy Gentry, coach of the volleyball team. The team reached the first out of a possible four rounds in the CIF playoffs. Dana Liddell, captain of the team, and ' ... It kept up the spirit ... Stephanie Timor made All-league, an honor only twelve players in the whole league achieve. All the coaches from the league nominated their best players for this honor. Dana said, I was really glad because it proved that I was no- ticed by other coaches. Stephanie added, I was really sur- prised when my coach told me, I thought she ■ was kidding at first, but when I found out, I felt really honored. The team ended their season with 1 0- 5 record; all but one of the five games lost were away games. The crowd real- ly helps us a lot, it gives us a lot of enthu- siasm, said Sandy Counts, co-captain. ' A ' s.„. 207

Their Path To Victory W, elcome, sports fanatics, to Ath- letic Fanfare, your favorite rapid recap of recent sports phenomena. Yes, when you flick your AM dial, make sure it lands unerringly on Hollywood 104.9, where you ' ll hear the latest, brightest, and most spectacular developments in today ' s sports spectrum. Grab your coke and relax, because my topic today is a brilliant new team from Rubidoux. Yes, folks, Rubidoux is here in California; down south snuggled between the moun- tains, the desert, and beach. Down where they like fun and ex- ercise, tennis is the ideal sport. And there is a group of seven girls who have adopted this strenuous but rewarding game as a special challenge. They are the JV Tennis Team. And in their pursuit of excellence and victory, they compiled a record of eight wins and only two losses. With this record tucked beneath their belts, they went on to clinch a proud second place in their league. How ' s that for awesome? . . . young but powerful ... But this path to victory was not a sim- ple one to follow. It took practice, prac- tice, and more practice to reach the lev- el of performance their coach demanded. It was the teaching talent of Coach Bruce that was forever behind them, supporting them, and giving them pointers on how to better their game. Because of this young but powerful team ' s spectacular performance, three of their players have been selected to be highlighted on to- day ' s Player ' s Profile. The team ' s most . . . valuable player was . Patty Saenz, an invin- cible athelte, who, with triumphs showed her teammates the real meaning of success. Laura Quintanar and Marylou Carrillo were cited as most improved, they were the essence of athletic accomplishment, building upon their experiences to im- prove their tennis ability. These admirable young ladies were not only excellent athletes, but they were unsurpassable as representatives of Rubidoux High School, 208 We ' re the Kids of America
