Field Work by Kerry Lupro erhaps what made the team incredi- ble this year was the enormous amount of talent that showed up to play. One player said the strategy was quite simple. We used our opponents' mistakes to our ad- vantage, one player said. With a strong offensive team the Knights took advan- tage of every player on each soccer team they confronted. We 'make the other team realize their weaknesses, said another player. This year's team showed all opponents their own faults. by Nanci Davis enior varsity player, Steve Coulter has been playing soccer for thirteen years. Coach Ogden said, Steve is a real solid player, and he keeps the team fired up. Steve's position was fullback and said he liked the physical aggression involved in soccer.

Keeping Backs Off the lVlat by Kerry Lupro Y our opponent struggles to roll on you, sensing your superiority, and you shove his arm across his face and cut off his breathing. He wiggles frantically to keep his shoulder blades off the mat for a few seconds and then slows, your iron grip drain- ing his last spurts of energy along with his breath. Then Whaml The referee's hand slaps the mat as the whistle blows and you have won your team six more points, adding another pin to your record. This was the dream that kept every wrestler going this winter when he stepped back onto the mat for another afternoon of grueling practice headed by Coach Roger Hartman. Returning Varsity wrestlers like Joe Ward, Jim Jennings and Jimmy Richardson helped keep the Knights' backs off the mat and the opponents' on it for another successful year. J by Kerry Lupro oe Ward has been been wrestling for four years, along with wrestling, he also plays football and he enjoys dancing. This senior wants to major in business after high school and when he commented on his best moment, he said, Pinning a guy from Carlsbad without using my hands. 1. 1986-87 Varsity Wrestling team, Back Row: Jim Jennings, Jon Nichol, Conrad Alverez, James Silva, Marc.
