Braden coaches for last season Entering the season and look- ing to improve last year's record was a high expectation for Ron Braden, head coach and Doug- las Frueh, assistant coach. Unfortunately, Tokay's varsity soccer team lost someone whom for the past nine seasons has been a strong point in the team's success as Coach Braden an- nounced his resignation at the end of the season. Coach Braden had hoped to end his rein as head coach on an successful note, but was unsuc- cessful on doing so. After coach- ing for 10 seasons, Coach Bra- den realized he would miss the boys and the fun they had. The thing l enjoyed most about coaching has been the kids and the hard work most of them 144 O put into practices and games, said Coach Braden. Closing the season with 3-12- 2 record, Tokay's varsity soccer team did not do as well as they wanted. Two major reasons, ac- cording to Coach Braden, were that the team's defense wasn't strong enough and they played tough teams. Even when the outcome look- ed grim, the players were nev- er willing to give up, said Coach Braden. Top scorers were Dustin Lanz 26 points, David Dick 12 points, and Aaron Dingman with 10 points. David Alcoriza had 25 goalie saves and Derek Saville had 65. by Kimberlee Giberson Photos by Eric Johnston
