For the soccer Warriors finished the season with a fourth straight state tournament title while achieving a record.
South defeated Edwardsville, its first opponent in 79, on three goals by David Fernandez and Tony Pierce ' s first shut- out at South. This victory was significant in that it marked Coach Gene Baker ' s th career coaching win. The following contest matched the War- rior kickers against the cross-town rival, Granite North. South played without three key players, David lames, Phil Bel- janski, and Fernandez, because of in- juries.

South dominated the game, but couldn ' t score and ended the regular season with a record. This was achieved with a predominately freshman squad playing against juniors of other teams. The highlight of the season was a victory over Granite North. The toughest lesson for the freshmen was adjusting to high school play. The newcomers learned of the hard work and pride involved in keeping the tradi- tion of a winner at South. Helping these athletes were former players, Charlie Bennington and Marc Mason.
The soc- cer players benefited from their experi- ence and talents, and the soccer pro- gram owes these two a great deal of thanks for devoting their time on a vol- untary basis. This year ' s team had no single most valuable player because there was about forty players with the same ability and talents splitting playing times. Coach Bunting is looking for a leader to emerge from these talented players next year.
If the freshmen and sophomores devote the time that is needed to be a winner, the future of Granite South soccer looks very bright. For the main purpose of ju- nior varsity play is to prepare for the var- sity level.

At times the Warriors played with total do- mination, aggression and intensity, and at other times playing simply unorga- nized basketball. At the start of the season the Warriors had high hopes, starting one of the bi- ggest front lines in the area, with the av- erage height being about 6 ' 4 " , only to find that throughout the season they would have trouble putting the ball in the hoop.
This lack of offense was some- what countered by above average de- fense, allowing their opponents an aver- age of 56 points throughout the season, but the object of the game is to put the ball in the hole.

Because they wouldn't give in to your demands. Sandy, you are unreasonable. You should be ashamed of yourself. Granite City needs more locally owned businesses to support our economy, increase our tax revenue, and to get the necessary funds to keep this city moving forward.
Instead you bash a locally owned business which will drive 'would be' consumers to the only alternatives for video games: Wal-mart or Gamestop. Both of those businesses are corporately owned and don't have nearly the same positive impact a local shop owner has on our community. She experienced a similar problem. Perhaps you should take up your issues with Microsoft.
If you do not have the education, experience, or common sense to analyze an issue, then determine if it's logical, you should be forbidden to poison the minds of others. This is America however, so you have the right to spread your B.
Fortunately, I have the same right, which makes you look like an uneducated baboon-among other things. I ask that the posters on this board that supported Sandy, reconsider your position on this topic. Post a retraction and apology to Game Busters.
I will be the first to admit I have been wrong in the past. The manager at this store is a wonderful employee. She helps everyone understand what they are getting. I am a parent and clueless about gaming. I was very pleased with the service I got at Superitpros.
Very friendly and knowledgeable, with quick turnaround on services. I would definitely…. Honestly the people that work here are the nicest people you can find around here, they offer great service and work hard for your satisfaction.
