. Improved Being a new and inexperienced team caused us to lose quite a few games this year. It helped me to for- get the score, and just enjoy playing the game. Mandy Matthews — wing. We have had a great season. Our coaches and fellow team members really inspired me to do my best. I feel the JV team will go far in the upcoming years. Vincent Miranda — JV soccer. D Our team has been through a lot this year. Since this is the first girls soccer team at Rubidoux, our team- mates have had to learn to play to- gether. It took a lot of practice. I feel there ' s a lot of talent on the team, even if our season record wasn ' t the best. As the seasons progresses I feel our team ' s knowledge and skill will too. Tracyee Nowak — halfback. A lot of girls on the team haven ' t played for a few years, and some have never played before. I think next year, when we ' re no longer the new kids , the skills we ' ve learned this season will pay off in wins. Let ' s hope so! Bethany Rainaud — half- back. o 116 Looking down the field, and ready to pass the ball is Dawn Springsteen. This was the first year that a girls ' soccer team was lormed. Boys ' JV Soccer.

Back row: Coach Darwin Dallas, Kevin Ferguson, Ron Heiter, Armando Gonzales, Johnny Kendall, James Shirley, Robbie Van DeHay, Jell Reed, David Willey, David Schupp, Mike Debayona, Ernie Ca- meron, Coach Johnny Mosher. Playing defense is Kevin Fergu- son. This was Ferguson s twelfth year playing soccer and lourth year playing lor the mighty Falcons. After their warm-ups, the boys ' varsity soccer team concentrate and wait lor the game to start. Racing towards the pass is Todd Klein. The team s otlense was a strong point ol the team. The boys ' varsity soccer team are young athletes, with a lot of talent. They will be league contenders, probably for the next four years. I predict that they will go CIF in three of the next four years. They ' re all a great bunch of guys. The soc- cer program came a long way from what it used to be and with continued hard work it will be a good sport to watch. Johnny Mosher — Assistant coach. The eleven years that I have been play- ing soccer made me a competitive player and taught me how to try hard at every- thing. The team is always together and we have fun. David Shupp — forward half- back. □ Our team is becoming closer as the year goes on. Without team unity we can ' t obtain our goals. We don ' t have any su- perstars, everybody is basically egual in ability which makes a strong overall team. Kevin Ferguson — center. We are trying hard as a team with the help of Coach Dallas. We hope to have a better second round in the league by working harder. All our teammates have a positive attitude and we hope to improve. Not just the rest of this year ' s season, but also for next year because of so many re- turning players. The whole team works hard and never gives up. Our coach helps us think positive. Gustavo Oceguera — fullback. o The team ' s strong point is confidence. We have confidence in each other and every player puts all he has into every game. Samer Mohamed — right half- back. The team playing together, getting along together, and being close as a team is where the foundation of a good soccer team starts. We are better than last year and we ' re starting to play together as a team unit. Ernie Cameron — center.

is On the road to success The Girls ' Varsity Soccer team was very young and in- experienced, considering that this was its first year in existence. One individual who really stood out was Shannon Jokela. Jokela was also on the soft- ball team and enjoyed sports. My parents have been the main influence in Shannon Jokela my playing sports. They have inspired me to take chances and make some- thing of myself. They enjoy being involved in my sports and school, said Jokela, a sophomore honors student. She worked hard to keep up her grades and found time to dedicate herself to her athletics. i f r 4 Running towards a pass is Marco Oceguera. Oce- guera was a runner lor the Cross Country team and went to the CBL Champion- ships. Turning the ball away from the opponent is Tracy Nowak. Good otlensive skills were a strong point ol the Girls ' Soccer Team this year.
