Sophomore Steve Johnson prevents the Westwood team from taking the ball into their possession. INDIVIDUALITY express unique. think the soccer team is unique in a sense. because every person is an individual. The characteristics ofeach per h son are so different that it doesnlt seem likely that we would all fit together as a team. We joke around a little at practice. but when it's time to get serious, we do. We are trye ing to rebuild from last year's head. Dan Gillchrist. Aamn Hoover, Kir Soccer team members traits great season since 12 seniors graduated.

Being a 74' sophomore on the varsity soccer team really makes me realize how dangerous the sport can be. Despite the fact that l have played soccer for eight years, I often find people beating me to the ball e espe cially uhead halls where height counts. When I'm going against opponents with size 12 shoes, and goal keepers as tall as the goal itself. it really makes me wonder how hard I'm gomg tn have to work to score a goal. On the soccer field all play- ers consider themselves equals - freshmen, sophomores, juniors,' seniors. We all respect each other and abide by the captainls and coachls decisions. When a teammate is injured the whole team feels it, and the game thereafter becomes a bit mare intense. Because of the feeling I get when my team scores a goal. and the friendship 23 soccer team builds, I hope to continue playing soccer. Kent Koen, Sophomore FIRST ONE THERE.

Everyday, we would go out and practice in the blistering August sun. Sometimes I thought I would die. This season, running the sprints was harder than usualeespecially after a two! hour practice At our first game, you could tell that the CWO'B'daYS paid off. We still drove in the fourth quarter. Robbie Hill, freshman Season mild compared to practice Freshmen players agreed that practice was much tougher in their Chap football debut than were the three contests of the season. uIt was pretty intimidating going to practice for the first time; I diant know what to ex! pectjl freshman Kyle Lowke said after a couple of weeks of practice with upperclass players. To give fish players the most experience possible, the freshmen were split into IA and u13W squads. Both teams sported identical season records with a loss each to Georgetown and ties with two other teams. ilHaving two teams is really , better than one because it gave everybody more game time and the experience should add depth to future teams, Kyle concluded. gleman, :r, Scott ms, Jeff Stoute. 33 JVVFreshmen Football PEP TALK.
