It's the roar of the crowd lt's applause, accolades, The crown of laurel leaves Itis the special hello there from the kids in the hall It's a rapid-talking coach Preaching like a revival, About power and drive And go, go, go. It's bruises and aches, And muscles that Cry out in pain It's your Mom Pretending to be cool And then explaining every play to her friends Itis pride in school, and friends and team It's hopes and dreams. It's fear . . . As powerful as gall in your mouth. It's butterflies in your stomach And a pounding in your ears. Itis a heart that beats so loud That it sounds like a freight train. lt's demanding more of yourself Than you thought you could give. It's finding new strength When fatigue threatens To smother your very soul Victory is caring, and striving, and giving . . . - Courtesy of Coach Goodwin The Athlete Sp D P g 139

Pinned 'em Flat Long hours of practice, going for days without food, and plenty of exercise are only a few of the things that a wrestler must go through in order to com- pete in a match. Sophomore Mike Danzer said, MI didn't mind going through the things I did because I wanted to wrestle and I couldn't wrestle if I didn't do those things. GI think we did pretty good considering we were mostly a young team, stated Coach Charles Sanders. MI was proud of most of them and I felt like they were working hard. The team finished with a record of six wins and four losses, and the team had 21 freshmen and five seniors during the whole year.
