Kickers post best season Winning seven out of the last eight games, the soccer team kicked its way to a second place conference finish. I thought that the second half of the season we really wanted to win, and it showed in our perfor- mance. Our strong finish gave us the confidence to go into the Regionals, stat- ed Joe Fameti. The All-Conference play- ers including Fameti were Chris Martire, Berto Zam- brano, Femando Carbajal, Gus Esquivel, and Rigo Zambrano. The honorable mention players were Steve Freese and Kevin Mysz- kiewicz. Rigo Zambrano was also named as All- Sectional player. The season was good. lt was our best sea- son since l have been here at Thomridge, but I still think that we could have gone a little bit farther in Above: JV Soccer: Front Row: Dan Larson, Scott Kulig, Ed Dziadon, Jesus Villegas, Victor Mendoza, Andre Battise: Row 2: Juan Vala- dez.

One of the hottest scoring players was Kevin Myszkiewicz, who led the team with 14 goals. Coach Carlos Medrano was pleased with the sec- ond place tinish in the Thornridge Invitational. Our last half of the season showed that the hard work and the togethemess of the team showed great promise for the future of the play- offs, he said. The team beat Thomwood in the Se- mifinals CZ5-1l and then lost to Marist Q1-Gl. The junior varsity team ended with a record of 11-5- 1, the best record ever for the team, and came in sec- ond place in the Popular Marian Sophomore Soccer Toumament. ku 3, ,i 3 XV ,3 Coach Dave Baron, Francisco Val- lejo, Dan Ducat, Greg De Laureus, Rob Rusiniak, Guy Louis-Jean, Coach Jarrod Davis.
