1989 Miracle Yearbook

SOCCER Go get 'em, Jackets! If there were one word which could describe this year's soccer team, it was POTENTIAL. With eight returning players and a great deal of experience, the Yellow Jackets were ready to attack this season. Throughout a season of victories as well as disappoint- ments, the team remained committed and strove to keep their focus on honoring the Lord above all else. Their commitment was realized when they won the district championship and were able to go to the nationals for the third time in five years. Although they didn't win the national championship, they did place fourth; and even more than that, they were given the Sportsmanship Award. On any team there isn't one player who can singly make the team succeed; and especially on this team, there were several players who did extremely well. Returning senior Paul Norman had a tre- mendous season with many accomplishments including being named All-American in the NAIA and NSCAA (National Soccer Coaches Association of America)for the second year and NCCAA All-American for the third year. Dave Kohlmeyer was the leading scorer with nine goals and eight assists, and Brent Davis was named the Most Valuable Player.
