F rosh gridders give Tokay tr After winning its first game of the season, Tokay's freshman football team finished with a 1-6-1 San Joaquin Athletic As- sociation league record. Accord- ing to Steve Hubbard, head coach, the Tigers were restricted to a running game which greatly hampered their performance. lt was a learning experi- ence, stated Coach Hubbard. We had many unorganized players in a system of organized football. As second year freshman head coach, Coach Hubbard had to take responsibility of the younger students not knowing the basics of high school football. ul became frustrated at times, but overall the team was very enthusiastic and willing to learn, stated Coach Hubbard. Tracy was one of the toughest competitors because of its fluent freshmen programs and Lodi because of its cross-town rival reputation. The frosh gridders also won a non-league game 7-6 against Grace Davis and tied in its first game against Lincoln 14-14. Players earning post season honors were: Erik Beer, most valuable linemang Derek Mor- gan, most valuable defensive backg and Corey Jones, most valuable player. The awards were voted by team members. by Troy Movius 3. Freshman Teddy Hom reads the defense and looks for a hole. 4. 128 Q Struggling to recover a fumble ls Teddy Horn. Photos by Matthew Silber

Drill aims for s ccess Five...six...seven...eight...mar- ch two...three...four...five stop six turn sevenneight. Stepping in time to these words, 34 drill team members memorized countless routines throughout the year. All of their long hours and hard work paid off at games, rallies, and competitions. Their strength was their ability to per- form to the highest degree of perfection, said Adviser Anne Braden. Their performing ability won the drill team numerous awards including a superior banner and trophy at camp in Santa Cruz. They also succeeded in recap- turing the spirit stick and taking first place in the Lodi Grape Festival Parade. This year's team had a lot of potential and really worked well together, said Captain Teresa D'Aiuto. All of our hard work and long hours of practice were worth it and it showed through at camp and state competitions. Hard work was not the only important factor in being on the drill team according to Mrs. Braden. Learning the responsib- ility it took as well as the dedica- tion and commitment needed to be a good member was also very important lt gets harder every year because outside interests some- times become more important and it makes it harder on every- one else, said Mrs. Braden. Some low points in enthusi- asm were experienced when the team was not under pressure to perform. But when a game came along, Mrs. Braden stated they perked up. These low points were not 1.

Their activities included: per- formances at San .lose State, University of the Pacific, and Delta College, a clinic with the United Spirit Association as well as one before next year's tryouts, state competition, and home games and rallies. The 86-87 Drill Team had a special bond that got us through our busiest months, said Re- becca Whiteley, co-captain. lt wasn't just practice and perfor- mances that made drill, it's also the support and friendship we gave to each other that we'll always remember. by Kathryn Kiszlowski Photos by Kent Wisenor
