The JV boy's soc- cer team lost only two games one to Round Rock the other to Westwood, iPhoto by staffl JV Scores Second With a second place linish in district, the boys junior varsity B team overall had a great season in district play. A new coach and new players required adjustment but this came as no problem for the ambitious new team. Coming out this year as a new coach I didn't know what to expect, but after a few weeks of practice I was sure that we could go lar this year. The fact that we had nearly all new players didn't seem to be a problem at all, they functioned really well together, coach Dale Baker said. The tearn's determination and skill level put them out front early in the season and kept them there until the very end. With only two losses, one to the first place Westwood and the KNOWS other to Round Flock, the team went almost unchallenged through the season. This year we were really hoping to beat Westwood but their program has been consis- tently outstanding for many years and this season was no exception. Our loss to Round Flock was more of a surprise, and placed us in a tie with them for second in district and we finished the season that way. With a full time coach and new ambitions the boys JV B team became more than just a secondary team to the JV A and earned respectability around the district.

Team members faced with playing away games in such far off places as Killeen and Waco, came up with effective ways to combat fast food and boredom during long road trips. Usually we just slept or listened to our walk- mans, but once we got there we really had to start concentrating on the game. With our new district, we will be able to concentrate on games much more with the shorter ride, sophomore varsity baseball player Ty Embrey said. While some players zoned out before games others tried to do what coaches preferred--concen- trate on the game once the player stepped on the bus. On the way to games we sat around, talked and just listened to music which got us excited about the upcoming game, sophomore junior varsity volley- ball player Iennifer Wallace said. The bus ride to the game energized players to compete and win while the ride home told the story of whether the game was won or lost. When we won, the team was usually in a good mood but when we lost the feeling was a little down, but often the bus ride became a fun part of being on the team, junior IV basketball player Scott Heare said. Competing, the main goal of the team, could become overshadowed by the bus ride to and from a game. The ride often reflected the feelings of players and the team but while some slept, others used the time foramore scholastic purpose--studying the next day' s homework. SWIMMING Edited By: Erin Craig
