 Getting ready to be the best, they chant FOUR OR MORE to let the others know who's going to win. Four or more was the motivating slogan J.V. foot- ball players chanted as they defeated many rivals. As the silver team started out they weren't as unified as they wanted to be. But as the season went on. they all came together. During the Gilbert game, the silver team had scored first and played well all four quarters. Even though we lost the game, we were winners in that we gave our best effort of the season stated Andy Swingle. Both blue and silver teams had a good season and learned to work togeth- er. The skill and desire to be the best helped the players develop talents that would soon help them for the fu- ture. The coaches had a big part in getting the team psyched up. They used events from past exper- iences and were always getting at the players. Not only were the coaches psyching them up but their fellow players as well. During practice the players hud- dled together and recited the traditional Mustang Yell. Stated Bert Jernigan, As the season went on. it gave the team a great op- portunity to become more skilled and develop many strong abilities. Both teams worked their hardest together and found out that a winning season wasn't as important as unity. Design by Yvonne Tru Hlo. Photos by Ashley Towne. J.V.

DEEP IN THOUGHT. As the third quarter drows to a close, player Jeff Roid pauses to re- flect on the intensify of the gome while conjuring up the strength to finish off the opponent. Being a port of the J. V. foot box team helped me meet a lot of great people and get involved in school. The opportunity of be- coming more skiXed and talent- ed was also there.
