Athletics at Central High School excelled in 87- 88. To start things off. Central beat Memorial 28-0 on August 27, making it seven years in a row that Mangy remained at Central. Both girls’ and boys’ cross-country ran a great season. The girl’s team placed ninth in state with Anne Esteves placing 23rd. Girls’ swimming continued their vir- tual lock on duel meet victories, extending their undefeated dual meet record to 124 straight meets. They now look forward to another undefeated sea- son next year and that ever-elusive state title. Boys’ basketball got off to a rocky start under the leadership of first year coach Dennis Nowicki, but improved steadily over the season, hitting a high point when they upset Penn 61 -60 on January 22. It was an exhilerating game that hung on a final desperation shot by Penn, which missed as time expired. Wrestling sent four people to regional compe- tition. Junior Sean Sousley even advanced to semi- state. Girls’ basketball had another improving sea- son under the direction of coach Jane Lutz fin- ishing with a respectable 6-9 record. With fall and winter sports ending on good notes, they filled us with anticipation of an equally suc- cessful spring. LOOKING FOR AN OPEN PASSING LANE, senior Raurd Will Ertel protects the ball from the defense of a Northridge player.

un lazer sensation. The choice of the new gen- i J eration. Stand up! Stand up! Stand up! Catch the wave!” Spirit is a tradition at Central. It explodes at foot- ball and basketball games through wacky dressing and unsuspecting guests. Like the time an inflatable Godzilla appeared at the Memorial basketball game. Signs fill the hallways encouraging the players on to a victory. Decorated lockers by the Blazer Buddies fill the hallways with color. The fight song can be heard twice every Friday in anticipation of the game that night. Spirit Week adds to the intensity of spirit. Many students were involved in the Lifesaver Relays, Two- Man Swimming Relays, and the 5-Legged Race. Central students are and will continue to be proud of their spirit. •• A BLAST FROM THE PAST’ was the theme used by the junior girls to display their spirit. DURING THE PENN BASKETBALL GAME, Mike Babcock shouts across the floor to Penn’s student section. CHEERLEADERS Julie Hagedorn, Doreen Sheppard, Lisa McConnell and Traci Ott lead the crowd through a cheer. BRINGING BACK THE CHANT, “Hidi Hidi Midi Ho, Jay Riblet and Brian Bolinger get the crowd roaring during a time out. BLAZER BUDDIES are an important part of boosting spirit and psyching up the athletes. 16 SPIRIT
