SPORTSWEAR iYaill always look so sloppyX friend of mine on the tennis team said, uY2fll always look so sloppy. For the most part, thafs true. No one on the team dresses up for mac tices because effort is what counts, not appearance. Actually, most of us in soccer are not real concerned about what happens to be uin fashion TRICK MOVES Using a head bump, freshman Kim james sends the ball to a friend to return. RISKY BUSINESS 0t uthe in thing off the field either. A lot of individuality is expressed through the way we dress every day. My friends range from preppy to the more creative dressers. It seems to me that soccer attracts many of the more individual type people at our school because the game of soccer is not of the norm. Alicia Davis, Junior i1 really felt responsible for our lossi Some people like soccer because it involves many risks. I am one of those. When the girlsi soccer team played in the St Stephenis tour! ' nament, we ended in a tie and had to have a shoot out. The team picked me as one of the people to shoot. When I missed the shot, I felt responv sible for our loss. But, at the same time, I knew we had played a great game. After the game, the team got together and discussed our good points and our bad points. We went home a team - ready to win the next game.

P L E A S E R s to, This season was a learning season with new ideas and new people. Stacie Schuster, junior Overcoming obstacles WWth a vouiig team, the loss of a goalie and the scrutinv of several plavers hv the Universi! ty Interscholastic League, members of the varsity girlsi SOC' cer team realistically set their season goals. Despite any obstacles, the team finished second in the district, and anticipated next year with the return of many of the same players. HThis season was a learning season with new ideas and new people, junior Stacie Schuster said. uThe team is ready to make it to number one next year and make the girls, varsity soccer team a team to be remembered. The team had to deal first with the inexperience of many players. This year was a rebuilding year since we lost almost one half of the team due to graduating.H junior Shannon Legg said, but even with this loss the team did great. But the team also had to con; tend with factors not as easily overcome. The loss of goalie Sharon Lux to injury and the questioned eligibility of five players after a UH. ruling challenged their right to play could have affected the team,s attitude, but members said that they worked as a unit to sup, port each other. uThe upperclassmen werenyt too hard on us, freshman Amy Hoover said, hand depending on the mood, the team worked well together.
