Their Goal Is Success Despite excellent records, S.G.'s own soccer team program received little publicity in 1981-82. We don't get enough support, commented Coach Ricky Arthur who led the team to top district positions. Varsity was led by ex- perienced returning starters, including Seniors Rob Moreland and David Lawhorne pulling the team together. I believe our toughest competition came from N, Mesquite, stated Coach Ar- thur who was enthused with the teams performance on a varsity level. This was to be the last year soccer would be limited to district play. Next year the University interscholastic League will sanction the sport, allowing state competition. So far soccer play- ers have been able to play for clubs as well as for high school teams accord- ing to Coach Arthur Such a practice enables players to play year round. Conditioning is the key for soccer. Coach Arthur worked the players 45 minutes a day on strictly stamina. Stamina and agility help ball control which is the most important quality, Coach Arthur stated. Senior Jeff Reid bumps the ball for possession of it. 1 .Q , , ,M ssf' -'waz-ff' ff W N-, - - -we .aww ,I , , .- ,.,, . . Y -i - ,Q -. -14' V .7 .2,. ' 'b . , - .

S.G. Runners Stretch to Win lt's really hard to tell early in the season how good the team is going to be, stated Coach Raymond Haas, about the boys track team. Of course, Jeff Boltin is outstanding in the 100 and 200 meters. Senior Jeff Bolton was elected most valuable player in track for both 1980 and 1981. Senior Macky Ramsey is also showing improvement. added Coach Hass. He also said that Junior Robert Galloway could be a standout. lt's hard to predict because you never know about the people. For ex- ample, Tim Craddock, was a good hurdler last year, but this year, he may not be as good. You just can't tell. Coach Hass would not elaborate more than to say, We will definitely be com- petitive in district play. ' The team is young, with many '42- ' wma, 'ang mesa sophomores, but they are also ex- perienced with juniors such as Robert Galloway, Clark Miller, Tim Craddock, and David Mundayg and seniors such as Jeff Bolton, Nick Giariana, Mackey Ramsey, and Greg McBreen. One thing was for sure though, S.G.'s boy's track team was in for alot of ex- citement and surprises for the 1982 season. .,, Kenneth Turner walks a lap to cool down.
