I 1 for Dedication Pays off ■p he Rubidoux Wres- T tling team has come a long way since last year . . . we ' re improving everyday, exclaimed Mike Birchfield, or Birch as he ' s known by other wrestling team mem- bers. Birchfield dedicated all his time to wrestling. With his help, the team had a Mike Birchfield great year. Although we haven ' t won very much this year, I think that will change in the years to come. We ' re a young team, but the coach has inspired the team a lot, and he has supported us throughout the season, concluded Birchfield. I Getting ready to wrestle is Damn Wilmovski, a JV wres- tler. The JV wrestling team did very well this season, and ended the season with pride. Girls ' JV Basketball Wrestling 113

Meeting A x llenge I feel the team was really strong at our last dual meet, on February 12, and had changed dramatically over the season. Everyone was trying their hardest to win their last match of reg- ular season, and I feel going out of the season with a winning attitude was worth the effort we put forth. Even though we only won a few of our dual meets, we still had a suc- cessful season. The wrestlers started wrestling for the team more than for themselves. T he team made a lot of improvement. Coach Payne and Coach Meyer- ett did what they could to put us in a position where we would have the best chance to win. He allowed enough challengers so the best wres- tler with the best ability would be in the position he deserved to be in. CBL is being held on the 15th of February, and hopefully from there, there will be Rubidoux wrestlers go- ing to CIF finals. Scott Martell — IV wrestling. I feel our team has a lot of spirit and enjoys the game. Even the coach yells to us and still cares and wants us to win. We didn ' t do great this year, but we learned from our mistakes. DeeAnn Barnicoat — Girls ' JV bas- ketball □ I feel that even though we haven ' t had a winning year we ' ve had a successful year. We started as inexperienced girls and ended up with experience. If your performance is good on the court — you ' ve won the game, no matter what the scoreboard says! Jennifer Pierce — Girls ' JV basket- ball. m n .n 112 Wrestling Team Members.

Cameron has been playing soccer for eleven years and is inspired by his brother. Cameron prepares for a game by stretching, psych- ing himself, and imagining how be ' s going to play. For his dedication, he has re- Ernie Cameron ceived RHS All Tourney for three years and All League CBL for two years.
