Girls play beyond expectation Despite placing fourth in the San Joaquin Athletic Associa- tion, Sue Webber, head coach, believed Tokay's girls varsity basketball team did well and better than their expectations. At first the girls didn't believe in themselves, said Coach Webber. I kept telling them that they could do it. Toward the end of the season we managed to excel, said Kristen Nieland. Sometimes we seemed a bit lackadaisicalf' According to Coach Webber, two weaknesses were the lack of height and occurences with in- consistency of play.

We also got down on ourselves when mistakes were made. According to Nieland, the main strengths were strong de- fense and quickness. We were really cohesive, so team unity was a strength, said Coach Webber. Our quickness was good and so was our de- fense. We hustled the whole time. According to Coach Webber, key players were Nieland and Kelli Emerick, both three year starters, and Joan Kautz and sophomore Melinda Daniels. Ni- eland was selected to first team all-SJAA. The frosh-soph team finished the season in first place. According to Lori Szczepanik, head coach, they had a good season and there was great im- provement after the winter break. The teams that beat us during the first half of the season didn't beat us in the second half, said Coach Szczepanik. by Zuriel Cervantes photos by Gregory Cooper ..

We're hoping to get sec- ond, said Coach Porter. lf we beat Lodi we consider ourselves a really good swim team. According to Coach Porter Lincoln should take first because of its year-round swim program. Right now we're behind Lodi, said Coach Porter. Lin- coln and Lodi have the most year-round swimmers. Our kids are high school orientated. We don't match up. Key performances were ex- pected from seniors John Lang- ley, Bill Roach, Brad Burr, Zack Cheney, and junior Todd Hos- mer. The question is how Chris Humbert is, said Coach Porter. We have yet to see his true potential. l have high expecta- tions for Chris and l hope they be fulfilled. Hosmer won sections as a sophomore, so he is a proven quantity. According to Coach Porter, Tokay possesses several good freshman, and believes that it will be in contention for the league title in about two years. While the swimmers were pro- viding points for victory, the divers were also hoping to contri- bute. Grades definitely affected the varsity squad, said Kyle Rohde, diving coach.
