The Boys Varsity Soccer team possessed both of these qualities which led them to winning league and moving into CIF. Our team was com- prised of experienced players who were able to play well together, said Jorge Garcia. As the season began, the team started to know each others strengths and weaknesses which led them to play well together felt coach Doug Doner. The team ' s greatest strength was its defense which was comprised of all seniors who had exper- ience from past years. One reason why we had such a successful sea- son was because of our defense, said Todd Die- bold. Each defender had been experienced in each of their positions. Coach Doner ' s main goal this season was to win the league. Hard work was the key to their achievement of this goal. During practice we worked to build up our strength and skills, said Erik Thompson. Coach Doner felt that the entire defensive team and Rodney Thomas con- tributed to their success. Rodney was named most Valuable Player in the league. Another key factor that led to their success was the experience of the team. Most of us had been playing soccer for a long time, said Mark Maros- tica. We had the ability and experience to work the ball around and use our defense. Although they didn ' t go beyond the first round of playoffs in CIF, Coach Doner felt that they did reach their goal of winning the Valle Vista league. They ended the regular season with eleven wins, one tie, and no losses. Summing up the season Coach Doner said, We had talented and exper- ienced athletes who worked well together as a unit which brought us to place first in league.
