Never Say Die We Didn ' t Look Back T he 1984 season for the Varsity Boy’s Soccer team was one of bro¬ ken records and new accomplish¬ ments. The team recorded its most successful record in Weston’s history and made off with the Dual County League Championships and advanced to the quarter finals in the state tournament. The reason for the team’s great success is mostly due to the incredible enthusiasm and never-say-die attitude that was ex¬ pressed by each and every teammate. From DCL Champs t-shirts to the “Home of the Wildcats” backboard, to team trips to Papa Gino’s, the team was first to each of us, everything else — in¬ cluding school — was second. We ate as a team, drank as a team, we shared good times and bad times as a team. This close¬ ness was the key to our success. Up until the day we beat Acton- Boxboro, (the 1 team in DCL), we had doubts about the season, but after that day, we didn’t look back. Tri-Captains Wes Atamian, Rob Blanck, and Rich Caruso kept us optimistic, even when times were the toughest. Memories of the season and hopes of good luck are passed by all to the team of ’85 but never again will there be a team quite like that of this fall. DCL champs at last, keep it going! □ Jamie Goldstein Right: Surveying the field, Rob Blanck catches his breath. . . . .

i Movin’ On Up There ' s a First Time For Everything hy did I ever want to coach in Weston? I’ll tell ya that first day I was really worried! My grandmother could do better then they were doing. Well, they learned pretty quickly. There is a right way to do things and a wrong way. We do it the right way! They gave me such headaches, and the ulcers from those close games. I didn ' t think I would make it through the season. But they had spirit. They really wanted to win and they played with their “hahts”. They had the pride, desire, and deter¬ mination it takes and they made history, as the first Weston Girls Soccer Team to play in the E Mass Tournament. The se¬ niors showed them the way to the top and they all were the start of a winning tradi¬ tion for Weston Girl’s Soccer. We can’t ever forget Andrea Botticelli. She wanted to play more than anyone can imagine. Andrea, our special captain, was a huge inspiration, and our biggest supporter through the good and bad. The 1984 soccer team dedicated their success this season to the graduating seniors and especially Andrea Botticelli. I believe that it was in part because of Andrea that we made it to the States. We’ll never forget the 1984 soccer sea¬ son!
