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 . , - .

Direction Fighting inexperience and a tough district, South's JV soccer team found themselves to be true winners. We progressed slowly but surely, stated Coach Ricky Arthur who assumes the job of coaching both men's soccer teams. The team started slow and fought to attain the qualities of a good team. Captains Mike Scarborough and Danny Parades led the team well. They worked hard and helped others learn the basics of dribbling, passing, and defending. Micheal Marquez, Shawn Abbott, and Garth Wiebe battled in such a fashion that brought them to key positions on the team. Coach Arthur commented, Many of the players were disappointed about the games we did not win, but we did good. He went on to say that several of the players got better and better as the season progressed. Each found a way to improve himself and worked inten- sively on any problem he did have. Among those players were Kevin Causey, Scott Verner, Gran Meldon, Kirk Sanders, Troy Mullins, and Steve Kammer. We had many freshmen, and each player gained a lot of experience, in- serted Coach Arthur. They will be var- sity SOON and this WHS SSSGDUHI f0l' them! Ready to score is Kevin Causey.
