during the game while senior mascot Curtis Davis tries to squeeze out 2 AA I Cheerleading: What's it all about? Cox, Bales, Creekmore, Atchley, Gloyd, James, McQuire, Parker, Rogers, and Scott. A group of girls put together for the sole purpose of promoting spirit and pride in and around the school and everywhere they traveled. Working together they developed each individual talent along with spreading new and different ideas to the student body. In all endeavors, there is victory or defeat. For the cheerleaders, the only victory came from a crowd of fans truly involved in whatever the activity was, or a coach or athlete taking time to say thanks, These girls were always there, the event was not a matter of preference to them, it was a duty. Not to say that our spirit-builders don't enjoy what they're doing, or have an interest in the sports, their pleasure is obvious to both fans and athletes, said sponsor Ms. Nelda Bloom. However, the extreme amount of work each of these 10 girls put forth was not quite so obvious. Behind the peppy game-time picture were three hours of frustrating practice. A P glimpse of this somewhat overlooked devotion was found in the squad's competition results: one of eight squads up for district and winning the spirit stick three out of five times. l iw-,., with pp 3 if ,.

After the birth of the season the tables seemed to turn for the Sandites with many tragic losses to teams such as Jenks, Stillwater, East Central, Ponca City, and others. Our season was much better than we expected, said head coach Don Johnson. We felt we have improved since the beginning of the season even though we started three juniors. Coach Johnson was forced to open the season with three starting juniors due to the loss of one senior starter, Darrell Smith, who broke his leg just five days before the regular season of play began. During the course of the season, Johnson's roundballers participated in two invitational tournments, Edison and Miami. The Sandites placed fourth in a heartbreaking contest of defeat against the Jenks Trojans in the Edison Invitational, and after a fine start in the Miami . Tournament the Sandites fell to a discouraging third place. I think we did pretty good this year considering how young of a team we were, commented junior starter, Damon Downing, but I guess it wasn't good enough.
