Players, Coaches Build Young Team The Sandite varsity consisted of more underclassmen than usual but the pride was as great as ever. We had S2 underclassmen out of 63 players and the injuries hurt us a lot - we had to use young players more, but it gave them game experience, stated head coach A.D. James. Because of the number of graduates, we also had a lot of positions to be filled and that caused inexperience too, he added. With so few starters returning, each player found it his responsibility to prepare individually to give 100 percent as well as to bring the team together as a whole. Cooperation was essential and even when the outcome was disappointing or frustrating, whether in practice or in a game, the team members and coaches knew the importance of working together and depended upon each other. It was evident from the beginning that the potential was present, but much hard work would be required in order to develop the young team and maintain constant effectiveness in such a short time. Reflecting on the season Coach James concluded, There's always disappointment to a certain degree, but we feel the kids played to the best of their ability and with a break here and there we could have gone to the play-offs. .5 A4 A 553 Q, r . . .N r DESTROYING EVERYTHING IN HIS PATH- The U i' i' i .il- ,,, PICKING THE WIDEST HOLE- Finding the proper hole clogged by too many sweaty, grunting lineman, tailback Todd Sanders instinctively shoots to the outside in the victory over Ponca City. 1 .

CAUGHT IN THE ACT - Senior john Blake catches Keith Ellis giving queen Cheri Craddock the traditional kiss during homecoming activities egg September 29, 1978 was the highlight of a busy week of preparations. Float builders were more rushed than in the past since they had only one week with four hours per night in which to complete their parade entries. The royal court, consisting of queen Cheri Craddock, senior attendant Devena Stephenson, junior attendant Machel johnson, and sophomore attendant Vicki Scott were involved with gowns, flowers, and decorations while the football squad made every practice count toward solidly defeating Kelly in the big game. After the parade had passed and the senior float was named victorious, the crown was in place and the queen and court honored by the community, after the battle was fought and the Sandites were the happy winners, Sandites flocked to the jam-packed activity center to celebrate the week s events with the Homecoming Victory Disco.
