Light on Their Feet After years of having only a girls ' varsity soccer team, the girl ' s junior varsity team wos formed in the Spring of 1983. The person who wos recruited to be the coach was Mr. Greg Shifflett, on advanced biology teacher. When asked if he thought making o junior var¬ sity team wos o good idea he replied, Yes, it gives the younger girls (freshmen) par¬ ticularly o chance to develop their skills and gain experience in gomes. It also gives them o goal or something to look for¬ ward to in making the varsity ream.” Since the ream was so new they weren ' t only concerned with winning; they wanted to build o solid background. Many of the girls were ploy¬ ing soccer for their first rime, eager to do well ond to win. Mr. Shifflett hod this to soy about the team, I think they ore just now learning how to be unselfish on the field, pass to open teammates, ond help one another on defense. When they ore juniors ond seniors, they should be working together real well on the field.” Looking towards next year Mr. Shifflett wos osked how he liked coaching the team, Coaching girls has really been o treat for me they are much more enthusiastic toward their team they try harder in prac¬ tice and they ore much more coachable than the boys.” Come on ref., she wasn ' t offsidesl Dawn Dodger questions o foul coll mode toward one of her reammotes. If wos support that added to the team ' s spirit ond overall success. Watch Out, I ' m Gonna Boot Itl Mary Deyf rakes time out of her practice schedule to smile ot the camera. For os the saying goes, practice mokes perfect.’ Now Listen Closely, it was 6 attempts . .. Manager Liso Uftoro prepares to take down stats os told to her by Coach Shifflett. It is through such starts that the team wos able to measure its improvement. 22 Spring Sports

The awesome anxiety caused by a game often creates frustration, and it takes good players like Marshall to over¬ come if. Down the line! Chris Hietf gains momentum to throw the ball downfield. Good judgment of where to direct the boll allows Chris to make this a useful offensive weapon. 24 Spring Sports
