Girl hoopsters fini hfourth Although Tokay's girls varsity basketball team ended its season by placing fourth in the San Joaquin Athletic Association, Sue Webber, head coach bel- ieves that the team had a fairly decent season. According to Coach Webber, the team's main strength was its ability to play good defense, but they also possessed several weaknesses which hurt the team team. Shooting was mainly weak, said Coach Webber. Rebound- ing also hurt us in some gamesf' According to Coach Webber, the team had some key injuries at the end of the season. We had some key injuries like Melissa Wichman, who is about 6 feet tall, said Coach Webber. t'We were small this year, but Cathy lCharpentierl and Kelli ilimerickl did a good - vw job. According to Coach Webber, their toughest opponents were Lodi, St. lVlary's and Lincoln in that order. Tokay came in fourth and ended the season with a 10-15 record overall and 6-8 league. Earning post season honors were: Kristen Nieland, first team all-SJAA, Kelli Emerick, second team all-SJAA, and Cathy Char- pentierg honorable mention. We are very young and we have experience, said Coach Webber. We will be better next year and will only lose two seniors, Katharina lSaubollel and Lynette iDorvillel. Both are good players, but l think we'll be okay. The froshfsoph girls team ended the year by taking third in the SJAA with a 9-10 overall record and 9-5 in league. According to Tracy Fletcher, assistant head coach, the team started slow and worked as indiv- iduals, but good defense and team work pulled together at the end. Earning team honors were: freshman Melinda Daniels, most valubleg sophomore Sheri Hoyt, most inspirational, and freshman Sheri Holmes, most improved. by Zuriel Cervantes B 3.

Tracksters lack d pthg print for SJAA titl Although the varsity boys track team lost Alonzo Collins and Patrick Nelson to graduation, Ken lsrael, head coach believed that Tokay's varsity boys should successfully recapture its San Joaquin Athletic Association title. Last year we had incredible depth, said Coach lsrael. This year our No. l in each event was very strong. Lamar Mitchell is the best sprinter in the league, and Jeff Flemons was our best track atheletef' Also, according to Coach ls- rael, the team was aided by seniors Devon Cioodlow, Aurelio Fields, and Ryan Emlinger who were eligible after third quarter tor the boys varsity. Coach Israel said that champi- onship would come down to Tokay and Tracy High School in the boys varsity division. Lack of depth and inexper- ienced athletes also hurt the girls team. Coach lsrael predicted that Lincoln would be the favored team to win the league title. After three undefeated seasons, the girls lost their first dual meet competition in the spring. The girls are 34-O. They've gone all of '84, '85, and '86 undefeated, The last time they lost to Lincoln was in 1983. The girls team was extremely young, which was tough because they had to compete against upper classmen, according to Coach Israel. According to Coach Israel this would be his final year as head track coach. by Zuriel Cervantes Photos by Eric Johnston TrackfRunning 159
