Not only does it affect the individual injured, but it also affects the team or partner. lt can be a great let down to learn his or her season has come to a painful end. This season was rough for the Warrior athletes, and injuries to several key players limited their performance. Among those injured were seniors Steve Jangaard, a two-way Varsity starter, and Jason Hicks, a starting defensive player who scored West's only defensive touchdown of the season. Junior Mike Andrade, who put the team on the scoreboard with West's only touchdown in the Verbum Dei game, was sidelined with a leg injury. Anotherjunior, Robert Emrich, was unfortunately injured before the season got under way. Coach Black felt that the injuries to these players, didn't affect the team's morale but hurt the team's performance. When asked to what extent the injuries affected the team, Jason Hicks commented, lt strenghthened the team's unity, but the main problem was training new people to fill in the positions. Bound in a sling, Steve Jangaard eagerly stated, l'd almost give anything to be out-there right now. Even though the injured players weren't able to participate them- selves, they became the team's number one supporters by their pres- ence on the sidelines with shouts of encouragement at every tension- filled game and grueling practice. 1 1 Copy by Nikki Clements Layout by Nikki Clements Photos by Bill Hardy and G.

The field is alive with the sound of clashing helmets. The quarterback scans, and releases. The ball spirals into the open arms of the receiver. For the freshmen football team, the scenario could not have been better. They finished the season as Bay League champions with an undefeated l5-Ol Bay League record and a Q7-25 record overall. Despite their great success they were prone to problems too with the injuries of Yonaton Hagos, with a broken am1 and Ryan Berry, with a sprained foot. Yet the minor injuries did not hamper this year's triumphs. James Kelly, freshman offensive tackle, commented, 'IOur strength was in the players' attitude. even though we were down at times, there was always someone who picked us back up. Much of the team's success was attributed to outstanding individuals. Among them were David Kim, David Park, and Roberto Bustamante with Faamatala'atu Maseululi receiving the Most Valuable Player award. The sophomore football team also fared well ending the season with an even K5-5I record, which is an improvement from last years winless freshman record. The team not only improved in statistics and game execution, but in morale as well. Coach Sean Beatty noted, The players improved from a losing attitude to a winning attitude. The team's performance was enhanced by several players including Matt Mishler, Frank Caingcoy, and Quarterback Paul Myro. The future seemed bright. Coach Fisher is convinced, By the time this team reaches the varsity level, l'm sure they'll have the Bay League Cham- pionship. COP-7 by John Auyeung 'fa-V01-lf by John AUYe 9 ,.,.
