Sports Branching out to train and compete in different sports, athletes found their worth to their teams and to themselves. Whether it involved football drills in the August heat, cross-country skiing along snowy trails, or that extra lap around the track, participation in sports helped students and coaches explore new horizons. Not all became superstars, but all were special because they spent the time and effort in striving toward personal and team goals. All achievements helped strengthen Jefferson’s pride and excellence in sports. 28 • Sports

Before the season started, critics predicted the team to fill the bottom of the Lake Conference, which they did with a 1-8 record. True, Coach Bruno Waldner lacked the talent and experience of past years, but his team’s effort taught them that winning wasn’t everything. Against Kennedy in the season opener, the Jaguars surprised many in a tight defensive victory which was decided on a Matt Dom field goal. The offense had problems as it was shut out in four consecutive games by Edina East, Richfield, Osseo, and Lincoln. Offensively, the Jags did better toward the end of the season against Minnetonka, Edina West, and Burnsville. Individual performances shined as senior Jim Brinkhaus returnd to action after missing the first two games with a leg injury. His defensive efforts earned a spot on the WCCO Prep team of the week. Senior Ted Hill was the highlight of the offense with spectacular catches and a record setting 82 yard kick-off return in the Homecoming game against Minnetonka.
