Hard work pays off at DISTRICT and BEYOND What makes track team members go and Boys placed third, through the agonizing ordeal of run- ning day-in-day-out? Asking Brigitte In Senior High Girls division, Martha Oliver this question, the enthusiastic VanAllen, now a junior, placed first in reply was, To get in shape, of the 330 hurdles and placed seventh at course! the State track meet held in McCroy. Unfortunately, some students do not realize how much effort and dedica- tion it takes for running track. Track is mostly an individual event, so a person can't always depend on some- one else to pull up the slack. The indi- vidual is the one who digs down deep to obtain that last bit of strength to get up that Killer Hill that every track runner experiences. What is the reward for all this dedica- tion? District was the enthuisiastic reply from Brenda Tomlin. This year at District Junior High Girls In Senior Boys division, both the 440 and 880 relay team qualified at Dis- trict but did not place at State. Larry Simpson won District in the Mile Run. Rusty McDonald placed first in both the 330 and 110 hurdles at District. Robby Jones won the high jump com- petition at District. At state, he made history for being the first Bearcat to place first in an event. He won the high jump with a jump of 6'6 . Ad- vancing to the MEET OF CHAMPI- ONS, he placed fifth. A Kelli Shepard and Paula Woodall do warm-up stretches for the 110 hurdles. 46 Run that by me again

Volleyball team may be low on fans but the players are high on spirit As everyone knows, sports is the spir- it of Booneville. Volleyball is no ex- ception. These team members put all they have into volleyball as any other team would for another sport. But vol- leyball has one major disadvantage. Our high school does not have the facilities to hold a volleyball match. Since there are no home games, fan support is practically obsolete. What makes these players work hard when they have no support? We realize that it's a hassle for peo- ple to come to our games because they're out of town, so we just get out there and give it our best shot and have fun while we're at it! comment- ed Tasi Adair. Working hard does have its advan- tages. This year at the District Tour- nament, Sheree Downs was named All-District. Tasi Adair, Jerri Black- shire, and Susan Terry were awarded honorable mention. Front row: Sherry Wann, Sandra Angel, Joyce Smith, Susie Hartman, Dianna Hartman, K.ay Terry, Celeste Lee Back row: Moriah Hayes, Brandy Farmer, Missy Reese, Bobbie Temple- man, Dana Day, Lisa Foard, Coach Beckham. Sherry Wann and Lisa Foard fight for the bump. Volleyball 45
